1. Qualitative information regarding results for the first three-month period

  1. Explanation of operating results
    In the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, the business environment affecting the residential housing related industry, to which the Company belongs, has shown some signs of a recovery, but the uncertain situation due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become prolonged. The number of new housing starts has shown signs of a gradual recovery although it is still weak compared to the level before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the number of contracts signed for preowned condominiums and preowned houses has recovered to the level before the COVID-19 pandemic. In our outlook for the market, we expect that the trend of more people seeking comfortable living environments in response to such factors as changes in lifestyles due to the widespread adoption of teleworking, along with a positive effect from tax reductions on housing loans, will keep the market proceeding at a comparatively solid level. However, in addition to the gradual slowdown in the market due to soaring property prices and the declaration of a state of emergency for some areas in April 2021, it is necessary to closely monitor the impact of soaring lumber prices and supply shortages due to the wood shock lumber shortage.
    Given this situation, the Company formulated the Mid-term Strategic Plan 2021, a five-year plan that started in this fiscal year, and by evolving into a comprehensive "One-stop Homebuying Service Company" that adds real estate business and consumer service business to the housing loan business, the core business the Company has been focusing its efforts on, it aims to become a consumer brand focused on customers and actively working on improving corporate value. In the housing loan business, the Company established regional branches in order to build a sales structure that can provide more detailed support to each sales office and achieve further growth. In the real estate business, the Company established ARUHI Homebuying Concierge Corporation in April 2021, and although we are still in the process of establishing a system for referring customers between companies within the Group through consulting work for housing loans and buying and selling properties, we are already receiving a lot of positive feedback. In addition, the purchase and resale business for residential real estate launched by ARUHI Real Estate Technologies Corporation has gotten off to a good start, with contracts for properties being signed in a very short period of time.
    As a result, the number of loan originations (including refinancing) for the Company in the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 increased 2.1% year on year, which is a high level compared to the overall Flat 35 market, and its share is on an increasing trend.
    On the operating revenues front, loan execution operations saw an increase of 7.5% year on year for origination fee sales due to the trend of increasing amounts per loan. Furthermore, although the financing operations saw a 3.2% decrease year on year, loan management and collection operations and insurance- related operations, which are stock-type revenue related to housing loans, showed solid growth. Loan management and collection operations rose 14.7% year on year due to a steady number of loan originations, and insurance-related operations rose 28.0% year on year partly due to the release of the "Mirai" Package service that offers a discount under certain conditions on premiums for all-illness coverage special contract, amid the rising interest, due to the spread of COVID-19, in life insurance that offers protections against reductions in personal income.
    Operating revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 increased 5.7% year on year to ¥6,854 million. On the other hand, due to an increase in advertising expenses for TV commercials and other aggressive promotional activities, income before tax decreased 8.6% year on year to ¥1,828 million. Net income decreased 8.3% year on year to ¥1,258 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent decreased 8.1% year on year to ¥1,261 million.
    As the Company operates within the single segment of housing loan related business, a presentation by segment is omitted.
  2. Explanation of financial position (Assets)
    As of June 30, 2021, assets were ¥152,620 million, a decrease of ¥12,141 million compared with March 31, 2021. This was primarily due to cash and cash equivalents decreasing ¥4,970 million, and operating loans receivable decreasing ¥8,196 million due to seasonality.
    (Liabilities)
    As of June 30, 2021, liabilities were ¥122,308 million, a decrease of ¥12,359 million compared with March 31, 2021. This was primarily due to deposits received and borrowings decreasing ¥4,422 million and ¥7,954 million, respectively.
