1.Qualitative Information on First Quarter Consolidated Results

(1) Overview of Operating Results

During the first quarter of the fiscal year under review (January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023), the global economy remained highly uncertain, mainly reflecting a slowdown due in part to rising energy prices and tight monetary policies implemented in different countries, as well as growing concerns over financial systems in the United States triggered by the collapse of financial institutions.

In the environment surrounding the Internet, markets such as those for e-commerce and Internet-related services continued to expand. Meanwhile, digital technologies, notable examples of which are those for IoT and AI, continued to evolve, advancing digitization in numerous fields. The same applies to the golf market. Reflecting the progress in digital technologies and changes in lifestyles, golfer demand and playing styles are becoming more diverse and changing day by day.

In this environment, the Golf Digest Online Group (the "GDO Group") offered greater playing comfort and pleasure to golfers as a group of IT service providers specializing in golf, with overwhelming information content and the capacity to provide specialized golf services as its strengths. The GDO Group also worked on business operation under the basic policy in its mid-term strategic plan LEAD THE WAY announced in February 2021.

As a result, the Group recorded net sales of 11,652 million yen (up 21.6% year on year), operating loss of 437 million yen (operating profit of 224 million yen in the same period of the previous year), and an ordinary loss of 304 million yen (ordinary profit of 224 million yen in the same period of the previous year) during the first quarter under review (January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023). Meanwhile, the Group recorded -309 million yen as income taxes-deferred, reflecting the posting of deferred tax assets due to the acquisition of GDO GolfTEC Inc., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, through an absorption-type merger on January 1, 2023. Consequently, profit attributable to owners of parent stood at 13 million yen (down 98.6% year on year).

The results in each main segment are as follows.

Domestic segment

During the first three months under review, the domestic segment recorded net sales of 6,561 million yen (up 11.9% year on year). Segment income stood at 102 million yen (down 34.8% year on year).

Overseas segment

During the first three months under review, the overseas segment posted net sales of 5,091 million yen (up 36.8% year on year). The segment loss was 540 million yen (compared to segment profit of 66 million yen a year before).

(2) Overview of Financial Position

Looking at the financial position at the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year under review, total assets stood at 44,980 million yen, up 1,456 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. Liabilities totaled 43,460 million yen at the end of the fiscal year under review, increasing 1,534 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. Total net assets as of the same date decreased 78 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, to 1,520 million yen.

In terms of the balances of accounts for main items, contract liabilities, and accounts payable - trade increased by 923 million yen and 856 million yen, respectively, while long-term borrowings decreased 343 million yen. Retained earnings decreased by 87 million yen.

(3) Overview of Consolidated Earnings Forecast

Consolidated results forecasts for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 remain unchanged from the consolidated results forecasts announced on February 14, 2023.
