1. Qualitative Information on Second Quarter Consolidated Results

(1) Overview of Operating Results

During the first six month of the fiscal year under review (January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023), the Japanese economy showed signs of a moderate recovery, mainly in face-to-face services such as restaurants and travel. The global economic outlook, on the other hand, remains uncertain, primarily reflecting surges in resource prices, higher inflation and the impact of the prolonged Russian invasion of Ukraine.

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. In the golf market, the demands of golfers were changing day by day, including the permeation of a play style adapted to the new lifestyle required given the influence of COVID-19.

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 25,332 million yen (up 18.6% year on year) during the first six months under review (January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023), while an operating loss of 239 million yen (compared to an operating profit of 850 million yen a year ago) was posted due to up-front costs in the Golf Launch Monitors Business launched in the previous year. Ordinary profit was 258 million yen (down 70.0% year on year), reflecting foreign exchange gains of 542 million yen due to the weakening yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent stood at 277 million yen (down 80.1%).

The results in each main segment are as follows.

Domestic segment

During the first six months under review, the domestic segment recorded net sales of 13,992 million yen (up 7.6% year on year). The gross profit margin of the Golf Equipment Sales declined temporarily, mainly due to sales strategies implemented in response to demand, resulting in segment profit of 625 million yen (down 16.5% year on year).

Overseas segment

During the first six months under review, the overseas segment posted net sales of 11,339 million yen (up 35.9% year on year), attributable to the favorable performance of the Golf Launch Monitors Business acquired in August 2022. On the other hand, due to the up-front costs in the business, a segment loss of 864 million yen (compared to segment profit of 102 million yen a year ago) was posted.

(2) Overview of Financial Position

i. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets

Looking at the financial position at the end of the second quarter of the fiscal year under review, total assets stood at 47,216 million yen, up 3,692 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. Liabilities totaled 45,390 million yen at the end of the second quarter, increasing 3,464 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. Total net assets at the end of the second quarter increased 227 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, to 1,826 million yen.

Regarding assets, merchandise, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets increased 528 million yen, 1,771 million yen, and 872 million yen, respectively. Regarding liabilities, short-term borrowings and lease liabilities (long-term) increased 1,453 million yen and 869 million yen, respectively, while long-term borrowings decreased 407 million yen. Retained earnings rose 177 million yen.
