Under the corporate philosophy of "Make the World a better place, bring smiles to the World. Be unique. Be equal.", ZOZO, Inc. (hereinafter, referred to as the "Company") group mainly operates the following businesses: Japan's largest fashion eCommerce website ZOZOTOWN and a fashion media WEAR.
In the consolidated cumulative first quarter of the current fiscal year, it was extremely challenging for the apparel industry, as operation of physical stores are restricted under the spread of COVID-19. Against this backdrop, the Company group focused on creating ZOZOTOWN more attractive for both users and brands in order to expand the number of unique users and improve the conversion rate (purchasing rate of unique users). Specifically, the Company implemented free shipping campaign for 6 days in weekends to support brands whose sales channels were limited due to temporary store closures. In May of the same year, the Company held sales event "ZOZOWEEK" from 10 days between the 15th and the 24th, and started summer sales from June 5, 2020 which is earlier than the precedented year in order to maximize sales at ZOZOTOWN. Furthermore, the Company proactively welcomed new brands in a wide range of genres to meet diversifying needs of users.
On December 17, 2019, the Company opened ZOZOTOWN in PayPay Mall, an online shopping mall operated by Yahoo Japan Corporation. Approximately 90% of the shops in ZOZOTOWN also sell in PayPay Mall and sales are gradually expanding. Since its opening, the Company has leveraged its strength in pricing by strong reward points. Accordingly, the Company has been able to expand its customer base by increasing contact points with a wide range of users, which differ in characteristics from conventional ZOZOTOWN users. Going forward, the Company will continue to promote collaboration with the parent companies and make every effort to maximize synergies.
As for the MSP (Multi-Size Platform) business which began in the fall of 2019, the Company expanded the numbers of brands and items, and sold spring and summer merchandise. As for the body measurement device, the Company began delivery of the ZOZOMAT from February 27, 2020, which enables to measure plurality of parts required for shoe selection by converting foot shape into 3D data. The number of people measured exceeded a million on June 11, 2020. Through this initiative, the Company aims to expand the gross merchandise value of shoe category in ZOZOTOWN and expects that it can provide new purchase experience that will enable users to conveniently find and select shoes that are comfortable. Despite the strong self-restraint of going outside in the consolidated cumulative first quarter of the current fiscal year, sales of the shoe category grew steadily from contribution of the opening of ZOZOSHOES, a mall specializing in shoes on March 4, 2020.
Regarding the B2B business, the Company has been focusing "Fulfillment by ZOZO", a service specialized in fulfillment support, which started from October 2019. The Company will work on the minimization of opportunity losses by centralizing inventory of ZOZOTOWN and brands' own eCommerce sites whose shops are on ZOZOTOWN. Further expansion of the business is expected in the current fiscal year, as more brands are willing to sell merchandise through their own eCommerce sites under the trend of the digital shift.

Consequently, the gross merchandise value in the consolidated cumulative first quarter of the current fiscal year was 95,330 million yen (+19.5%YoY), net sales were 33,674 million yen (+19.4%YoY), and gross profit was 32,283 million yen (+22.9%YoY). The ratio of gross profit to the gross merchandise value (gross profit margin) was 33.9%, an improvement of 1.0% point from the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.
Due to the spread of COVID-19, theYoY growth rate of the gross merchandise value was higher than those in recent quarters. Despite the negative impact of a slowdown in consumer spending on fashion item due to the self-restraint of going outside following the declaration of emergency state through late May, the Company put its utmost efforts to become selling channel for the brands that had to temporarily close their physical stores by leveraging the sales capabilities of ZOZOTOWN. The Company recorded a high-growth rate as a result of the positive impact of the digital shift offsetting the abovementioned negative impact.
As for net sales, theYoY growth was on par with that of the gross merchandise value. The growth rate of consignment shop exceeded that of the gross merchandise value, due to impact from ZOZOARIGATO until the end of May 2019, the paid-membership service which the cost is borne by the Company. However, there are negative impacts such as shrink in business size of ZOZOUSED and the PB business, revenue decrease from the said paid- membership service and decrease in shipping income etc. from free shipping campaign in April 2020 where the cost is borne by the Company. The amount of the gross merchandise value is represented in the amount before deductions of the said service and other discount promotions borne by the Company. On the other hand, as for the net sales, it is represented in the amount after the discounts.
The main factors behind the improvement in gross profit margin were an improvement in the consignment sales commission rate (toward the gross merchandise value) from the reverse impacts from the abovementioned ZOZOARIGATO etc. and shrink in the business size of the PB business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses was 21,860 million yen (+18.3%YoY) and its ratio to the gross merchandise value was 22.9%, a decrease of 0.3% points compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. The main reasons for the decline in the SG&A-to-sales ratio inYoY basis were as follows.
- Rising (worsening) factor
- Packing and freight (toward the Gross merchandise value) rose 0.7% points due to the drop in the average retail price.
- Logistics-relatedexpenses (toward the gross merchandise value) rose 0.2 % points due to a rise in the ratio accompanying a decline in average retail price, an increase in hourly wages for part-time workers, and revision in contracts with temporary staffing companies.
- Personnel expenses (toward the gross merchandise value) increased 0.1% points due to an increase in the number of employees.
- Decrease (improvement) factor
- On April 1, 2020, ZOZOTOWN ended 1% worth of ZOZO points rewards for item price to members. As a result, point-related expenses (toward the gross merchandise value) declined 0.2% points.
- As the gross merchandise value grew, rent (toward the gross merchandise value) declined by 0.2% points.
- Due to the completion of goodwill amortization ofYappa Co., Ltd. (currently ZOZOTechnologies, Inc.),
amortization of goodwill (toward the gross merchandise value) decreased by 0.1% points.
- Others expenses (toward the gross merchandise value) decreased by 0.8% points mainly due to a decrease in on-the-spot expenses that occurred in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Consequently, operating profit of the consolidated cumulative first quarter of the current fiscal year was 10,423 million yen (+33.9%YoY) and operating profit margin was 10.9% toward the gross merchandise value, an increase of 1.1% points compared with the same period of the previous year. Ordinary profit was 10,473 million yen (+37.5%YoY) and net profit attributable to owners of parent was 7,321 million yen (+37.5%YoY).

During the first quarter consolidated accounting period of the current fiscal year, the annual purchase amount (Total) decreased in bothYoY and QoQ. This was due to an increase in the composition of new members as a result of the steady acquisition of new members from the digital shift in line with the expansion of COVID-19.
YoY and QoQ decreases in the annual purchase amounts of existing members were reflecting an increase in the percentage of existing active members with short membership history (annual purchase amounts tends to increase according to length of membership). Contrarily, the numbers of annual purchase pieces increased in bothYoY and QoQ due to a decrease in the average retail price.

The average retail price decreased inYoY. The reason why it decreased was the proportion of discount sales in the gross merchandise value increased as a result of active implementation of sales events such as the summer sale, ZOZOWEEK, time-limited sales etc., and brands switching to discounted sales prices at an early stage in order to clear inventory. In addition, from the abovementioned ZOZOARIGATO, which the costs were borne by the Company, the paid members benefited from the discount. Based on this, there was a tendency for those members to purchase items in higher-priced ranges than their usual purchases. Similarly, average order value also declined inYoY basis.

a. Consignment Shop
