Due to the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to determine the effect that this crisis will have on Universal Entertainment's full-year consolidated business results. Consequently, there is no forecast for 2022.

Reason for differences between non-consolidated financial results for 2020 and 2021

In 2020, more than 100,000 units of Pachislot and Pachinko machines were sold mainly because of new titles in two unusually long-running brands used for category 5 machines: "SLOT Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls Kizuna 2" and "OKIDOKI! 2-30."

In 2021, sales activities in the Amusement Equipments Business were based on the strategy of launching major titles mainly in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. As a result, the number of units sold in this business decreased from 139,152 in 2020 to 127,094 in 2021, resulting in lower sales and operating profit. Ordinary profit increased because of a foreign exchange gain as the yen weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar. The net loss increased because of a loss on sales and retirement of non-current assets and deferred income taxes.

The COVID-19 pandemic that started early in 2020 continued to severely impact the Japanese economy during 2021. There was a brief recovery backed by progress with vaccinations and government measures to support the economy. However, the outlook for the economy remains uncertain because of another wave of infections caused by the Omicron variant, the global semiconductor shortage and other problems.

In the Amusement Equipments Business, the number of Pachislot and Pachinko machines supplied remained low as people were reluctant to visit pachinko halls because of declarations of states of emergency and other government pandemic safety measures. The extension of transitional measures concerning the removal of machines that comply with previous regulations also held down sales of these machines. Sales activities during 2021 were based on the strategy of launching many major titles in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. As a result, the number of units sold decreased from 139,152 in 2020 to 127,094 in 2021. In the Integrated Resort Business, operations continued in stages while complying with flexibility with the Philippine Government's regulations and mitigation of COVID-19 countermeasures. Sales in this business increased 27.2% and, partly because of lower selling, general and administrative expenses, the operating loss was much smaller than in 2020.

As a result, sales in 2021 totaled 90,435 million yen, down 0.5% from 2020. Fixed expenses totaling 8,150 million yen (depreciation and other items) of facilities at OKADA MANILA that were not used during the suspension of operations were reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to an extraordinary loss. There was a foreign exchange gain as the yen weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar, a provision for the allowance for doubtful accounts for loans to subsidiaries and associates, and a loss on sales and retirement of non-current assets, mainly in the Integrated Resort Business. As a result, operating profit was 1,959 million yen (a decrease of 23.3% year on year), the ordinary loss was 2,508 million yen (compared with an ordinary loss of 9,249 million yen in 2020), and the net loss attributable to owners of parent was 19,052 million yen (compared with net loss attributable to owners of parent of 19,218 million yen in 2020).

Business segment performance was as follows. Sales are prior to adjustments for inter-segment sales or transfers. (Million yen)

(i) Amusement Equipments Business

In 2021, the Amusement Equipments Business posted net sales of 54,186 million yen (a decrease of 12.3% year on year) and an operating profit of 13,311 million yen (a decrease of 34.7% year on year).

In the Amusement Equipments Business, expectations for the invigoration of this market increased due to the full-scale launch of category 6.1 machines with more game-playing characteristics. This is the result of the easing of voluntary restrictions concerning Pachislot machines. Despite these expectations, there was no recovery in the number of customers and the level of operations at pachinko halls because of declarations of states of emergency and other government pandemic safety measures during 2021 following a rebound in COVID-19 cases. Consequently, pachinko hall operators remained cautious about replacing existing machines with new titles. Furthermore, the deadline for removing machines based on old regulations was extended from the end of November 2021 to the end of January 2022 because of another wave of COVID-19 cases. Due to these actions, the demand at pachinko halls for new titles to
