1. Qualitative Information on Financial Results for the Period Under Review

(1) Summary of business performance

During the consolidated third quarter period under review (July 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022), uncertainty in the global economy continued due to concerns over inflation including rising resource prices, the sluggish Chinese economy, tension toward the situation in Ukraine, and other factors. In Japan, despite signs for a time that the COVID-19 pandemic may be coming to an end, uncertainty continued due to a rebound in infections as a result of the new omicron variant, shortages of semiconductor components and other goods, and the rapid weakening of the yen, among other factors.

In this environment, customer demand for the Group's core business area of engineer dispatching and contract assignment has largely recovered to pre-pandemic levels, demonstrating the strong foundations of the Group's business. In addition, hiring activities have proceeded as planned, and the Group made a good start towards achieving Evolution 2026, its new medium-term management plan (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2026), which it launched on August 10, 2021.

The main initiatives implemented by the Group during the third quarter period under review were as follows:

Secure engineers

The resumption of hiring activities in September 2020 and the focus on forming a candidate applicant pool lead to an increase in the number of engineers on payroll in Japan that began in April 2021. While online interviews have now become the norm, by continuing to provide sufficient information and engaging in careful communication with candidates, the Group has successfully hired 2,206 mid-career engineers in the third quarter period under review (up 1,742 compared to same period of the previous fiscal year). In addition, the Group successfully hired 851 new graduate engineers in April 2022 and expects the number of engineers on payroll in Japan to be at a record high at the end of April 2022. The Group will continue to focus on hiring new IT and DX-related engineers to meet strong demand, and also continue its efforts to curb retirements to secure a sufficient number of engineers - the source of our growth.

Strengthen solutions business

One of the goals set out in Evolution 2026, the Group's medium-term management plan, is to strengthen the solution business as a result of the growth and evolution of the Group's core business area of engineer dispatching. GCOMNET CO., LTD. became part of the Group on July 30, 2021 (merging with TechnoPro, Inc. on October 1, 2021). The Group is leveraging GCOMNET's strengths in the upstream process of core system ERP package SAP implementation consulting and IT infrastructure development and has implemented GCOMNET's training expertise into the Company's engineer training program. Further, the Group has expanded the scope of technologies covered by training programs with alliance businesses and strengthened the training for engineers to add digital skills to engineers' existing skills, like chemicals/biotechnology and construction. As an example of the combination of construction and IT/digital solutions, the Group collaborated with Liberaware Co., Ltd. on the use of IBIS, a small drone for the indoor inspection of facilities, to meet broad demand for inspections of dangerous places for manual operation, such as confined, dark, or high-altitude spaces.

The Group will continue to expand its solutions offering to customers through these initiatives.

Promote globalization

To promote globalization within the Group, the Group has begun operating a "service catalogue" that showcases the track records and capability areas of its domestic and overseas subsidiaries. The aim of this initiative is to acquire offshore development projects by utilizing the robust sales network of the Group's domestic businesses. The Group will continue to actively promote groupwide collaboration on a global basis, leveraging the Group's strengths in domestic sales and offshore development and delivery.

As a result of the initiatives described above, the number of domestic engineers at the end of the consolidated third quarter period under review was 21,054 (up 1,105 compared to the end of the third quarter of the previous fiscal year and up 724 from the end of previous fiscal year). The average utilization rate for the period under review was

－ 2 －

95.7% (up 1.2 pts compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year). Regarding the Group's continued efforts to improve sales per engineer, while the number of operating days per month has decreased by 0.18 days compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, average monthly sales per engineer were 657 thousand yen (up 25 thousand yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year), due to increased overtime hours and the increase in contract unit prices as a result of the Shift Up and Charge Up initiatives and further expansion in the solutions business, among other factors. Further, excluding new employees who had joined the Group in the last twelve months, dispatch contract unit prices (base charge) for existing employees rose by 10 thousand yen compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

In terms of expenses, in comparison to the third quarter of the previous fiscal year when new hiring was effectively frozen for the consolidated first half period of the previous fiscal year, SG&A increased due to full-scale implementation of hiring and other upfront investments. However, core operating profit rose by 1,260 million yen, due to the improvement in gross profit as a result of the increased number of employees assigned in Japan and other factors.

As a result, the Group's performance was as follows: revenue for the consolidated third quarter under review was 131,712 million yen (up 9.6% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year), core operating profit was 14,446 million yen (up 9.6%), operating profit was 16,522 million yen (up 11.0%), profit before taxes was 16,777 million yen (up 12.6%), and net profit attributable to the owners of the parent company was 12,077 million yen (up 17.8%).

Earnings for the segments of the business during the consolidated third quarter period under review were as follows:

(R&D Outsourcing)

In order to expand its IT business, which has been performing well within R&D Outsourcing, the Group implemented software-related training for hardware-related engineers and chemical/biochemical-related engineers and implemented initiatives to respond to strong demand in the digital domain through re-skilling and cross-skilling, in addition to strengthening the mid-career hiring mainly of high added-value engineers. The Group also made efforts to secure assignments at higher unit prices through business collaborations with the partners possessing advanced technologies, actively implementing internal/external training, and by increasing the quality and diversity of its service offering. As a result of these efforts, engineers on payroll at the end of the consolidated third quarter period under review were 18,356 (up 988 compared to the end of the third quarter of the previous fiscal year) and assigned engineers were 17,555 (up 852). As a result of these initiatives, revenue in this segment was 101,554 million yen (up 6.4%).

(Construction Management Outsourcing)

In addition to construction management, the main service provided under Construction Management Outsourcing, the Group has also expanded its services to offer services based on technological skills developed in the design and construction management fields, for example: 3D measurement, aerial photography, and inspections using drones, and the establishment of first-class qualified architect offices. In this segment the impact of COVID-19 has been minimal and so a high utilization rate has been maintained. On payroll and assigned engineers are 2,698 and 2,598, respectively, at the end of the third quarter period under review (up 117 and 101, respectively, compared to the end of the same period of the previous fiscal year). As a result, revenue in this segment was 15,213 million yen (up 2.5%).

(Other Businesses in Japan)

Other Businesses in Japan comprises a professional recruitment service and an education and training service in engineering. These businesses were impacted by COVID-19, but there was continued demand for search-based recruitment services from our professional recruitment service as a result of clients' strengthening desire to hire to prepare for post-COVID-19. As a result, revenue in this segment was 3,346 million yen (up 24.2%).
