1. Overview of Business Results, etc.
(1) Overview of Business Results for the Fiscal Year under Review
The Japanese economy during the fiscal year under review suffered from the continued impact of COVID-19. However, the number of infected people decreased at the end of the fiscal year due to progress in vaccination, and there were signs of recovery due to a recent increase in flows of people. Nevertheless, the outlook remains uncertain mainly due to the impact of the emergence and expansion of mutant strains of COVID-19 on the domestic and overseas economies, soaring crude oil prices, rising raw material prices, and stagnant production activities due to disruptions in the supply chain.
As for the candy market, the market as a whole saw a decline year on year due to a drop in consumption as flows of people decreased due to repeated declarations of states of emergency and the normalization of wearing face masks. Meanwhile, the gummy category saw an increase year on year as a result of a recovery beginning due to an increase in at-home consumption.
In such a business environment, Kanro has strived to advance measures of the "Growth strategy" and "Reinforcement of management base" which are basic strategies of the medium-term corporate strategy "NewKANRO 2021" while adapting to a "new lifestyle." As a result, net sales during the fiscal year under review increased by ¥2,342 million (10.0%) year on year to ¥25,663 million.
Looking at sales by product category, sales of hard candy products decreased year on year despite bag type hard candy products seeing the increase in the gourmet and fancy category making up for the decrease in throat drops (のど飴), as the sales of the stick type hard candy products and small bags with zip type products continued to decline due to a decrease in office and outing consumption. By product, while sales increased for Kinno Milk candy (金のミルクキャンデイ) with newly released flavors, and the Non-SugarSakan (ノンシュガー茶館) series, sales of the Kenko Nodoame (健康のど飴) series, Non-SugarSuper Menthol Nodoame (ノンシュガースーパーメントールのど飴), and Non-SugarFruit Nodoame (ノンシュガー果実のど飴) decreased year on year. Sales of healthy snacks also decreased year on year due to the growing number of private-label products at convenience stores. On the other hand, sales of gummy products increased significantly year on year. In addition to strong sales of renewed Puré Gummy (ピュレグミ) and Puré Ring (ピュレリング) for parents and children, sales of Candemina Gummy (カンデミーナグミ), which has grown into a leading brand, were also strong, and a new product Marosh (マロッシュ), a marshmallow product, was received favorably. As a result, the increase in sales of gummy products significantly exceeded the decreases in sales of hard candy products and healthy snacks.
In terms of profits, gross profit increased by ¥1,558 million (14.3%) year on year to ¥12,422 million, due to an increase in net sales and a decrease in cost-of-sales ratio resulting from an increase in production.
Operating income increased by ¥423 million (50.6%) year on year to ¥1,259 million despite an increase in sales promotion expenses in reaction to the decrease in the previous fiscal year, an increase in advertising expenses due to the implementation of TV commercials for a new product, and an increase in personnel expenses mainly due to an increased number of employees. Ordinary income increased by ¥435 million (50.6%) year on year to ¥1,296 million, due to income from loss recognized in association with the delay in installation of factory equipment, in addition to the above factors.
Net income increased by ¥271 million (44.5%) year on year to ¥882 million, as a result of the posting of ¥94 million in gain on sales of investment securities associated with the reduction of strategic shareholdings coupled with ¥132 million in impairment losses associated with the renewal of facilities to increase production capacity.
(2) Overview of Financial Position for the Fiscal Year under Review
Total assets at the end of the fiscal year under review increased by ¥1,376 million (7.0%) from the
