1. Qualitative Information Regarding the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

  1. Results of Operations

During the nine months under review (January 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021), the Japanese economy continued to face severe conditions, including a decline in personal consumption, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid such conditions, the number of new infection cases decreased thanks to stringent infection prevention measures and efforts to promote vaccinations. At the same time, society has adopted new normal workstyles through digitalization and the use of non-face-to-face channels. Certain markets have also seen signs of a recovery, including increased capital expenditures by corporations. Furthermore, the holding of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games served as an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of efforts related to achieving a sustainable society that proactively promotes diversity and addresses climate change.

In this situation, the Funai Soken Consulting Group (the "Group") proactively offered online seminars. In our consulting activities, we flexibly combined in-person and web-based consulting based on client needs to grow earnings despite the COVID-19 environment.

Looking at our DX consulting service, which our Group is actively expanding, we are seeing a trend towards increased consulting needs related to digital transformation in marketing for SMEs, online sales solutions to manufacturing businesses, and robot automation at manufacturing sites. We are projecting an increase in orders received in these areas. Looking at consulting for the digital transformation solutions of customer business activities, while government subsidies through the 2nd SME Digitization Support Team Program helped drive orders received, program application procedures were temporarily suspended while the government outlines stricter program requirements. This resulted in certain projects we planned to record during the nine months to September 30, 2021 being postponed until the consolidated cumulative fourth quarter or later.

As a result, the Group posted 20,968 million yen in net sales (up 13.9% year on year), 4,652 million yen in operating income (up 28.1% year on year), 4,697 million yen in ordinary income (up 27.1% year on year), and 3,155 million yen in net income attributable to owners of the parent (up 28.8% year on year) for the nine months to September 30, 2021, achieving record high earnings.

  1. Net sales: 20,968 million yen (up 13.9% over the same period of the preceding year)

Net sales increased in the monthly consulting support service of the business consulting business segment. In addition, net sales in online advertisement agency services continued their steady growth. Net sales also steadily grew in physical distribution operations in the logistics business.

Consequently, net sales rose 13.9% over the same period of the previous year to 20,968 million yen.

  1. Operating income: 4,652 million yen (up 28.1% over the same period of the preceding year)

Looking at operating income, cost of sales was 14,122 million yen (previous fiscal year was 12,441 million yen), SG&A expenses were 2,193 million yen (previous fiscal year was 2,338 million yen), and cost of sales in online advertisement agency services increased. At the same time, expenses such as consulting activity travel expenses and venue hiring expenses decreased significantly.

Consequently, operating income rose 28.1% over the same period of the previous year to 4,652 million yen.

  1. Ordinary income: 4,697 million yen (up 27.1% over the same period of the preceding year)

Non-operating income was 81 million yen, compared with 96 million yen in the same period of the previous year, reflecting factors such as gains on sales of investment securities, while non-operating expenses were 36 million yen, compared with 32 million yen in the same period of the previous year due to the recording of donations, among other income.
