of parent company

Consolidated revenue was 15,691 million yen (up 11.5% year on year), achieving double-digit growth. While the Business Intelligence Business and the Outsourcing Business both recorded significant growth, the Consolidated Accounting-related Business also grew mainly due to the continuation of large-scale projects with additional sales, which were scheduled to level off in the fiscal year under review.

In the mid-term management plan announced in September 2018, one of the management targets was to increase the ratio of recurring revenue (e.g. software maintenance fees, among other continuously generated revenue). While some of the results have begun to emerge, such as an increase in cloud sales in the Consolidated Accounting-related business, there was also a favorable impact from non-recurrent revenue, mainly in the Business Intelligence business. As a result, the total amount of recurrent revenue increased 15.9% year on year, but the ratio of recurrent revenue to total revenue remained almost unchanged at 32.6%.

Operating income increased 15.8% year on year to 2,277 million yen, and ordinary income increased 15.6% year on year to 2,280 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent company increased 16.1% to 1,519 million yen, all increased for the fifth consecutive years and set their records. While there was an upward trend in costs associated with the increase in the level of employee compensation to improve competitiveness and the opening and expansion of offices, we continued our focus on accumulating new orders for highly profitable projects and our efforts to improve quality and productivity of existing projects. Since the spread of COVID-19 began, the Company set out efforts to reduce nonessential expenses in preparation for future uncertainties.

Some companies in Japan have begun to postpone or some seriously affected have suspend IT investment as a result of the expansion of COVID-19, and some of the orders received by the Group have been affected, but the impact on operating results for the fiscal year under review is limited.

In the Consolidated Accounting-related business, at the beginning of the fiscal year, we anticipated that the large-scale projects that had contributed greatly to revenue up to the previous fiscal year would level off. However, during the year under review, we continue to receive additional sales from this client. At the same time, we saw solid new sales in areas other than large-scale projects, and segment revenue increased 5.6% year on year to 8,485 million yen. Personnel expenses rose due to an increase in the number of employees, and expenses rose due to the renovation of an existing office and opening of a new office. Despite these increases in expenses, we were able to improve overall profitability as a result of our efforts to improve project quality and productivity, and since the spread of COVID-19 began, the Company set out efforts to reduce nonessential expenses in preparation for future uncertainties. As a result, operating income increased 25.0% year on year to 1,616 million yen.

In the Business Intelligence business, we continue to observe favorable market environment where corporations invest heavily in visualizing corporate management information as part of their efforts to promote digital transformation. As a result, net sales increased to 5,767 million yen (up 15.6% year on year). On the other hand, operating income increased only slightly to 692 million yen (up 8.8% year on year), due in part to an increase in personnel expenses accompanying an increase in remuneration levels and an increase in the number of employees, as well as an increase in expenses related to the opening of a new office.

In the Outsourcing business, demand continued to be strong as enterprise clients continue strengthen and examine the group governance system and review the roles of the accounting department in their organization. In addition, sales in other than consolidated accounting and disclosure fields such as treasury management solutions increased, and segment revenue increased significantly or 26.5% year on year to 2,062 million yen. Despite an increase in expenses such as office floor space accompanying an increase in the number of employees, and expenses incurred for the maintenance of the office environment in order to continue providing high-quality services to customers while ensuring the health and safety of employees despite the spread of COVID-19, operating income increased to 364 million yen (up 14.4% year on year).

(2) Discussion on Financial Position

Total assets at the end of the fiscal year under review amounted to 11,773 million yen, an increase of 1,358 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly attributable to an increase in current assets of 1,105 million yen due to an increase in cash and deposits of 1,175 million yen mainly attributable to owners of parent company and a decrease in accounts and notes receivable-trade of 181 million yen, as well as an increase in property, plant and equipment of 192 million yen mainly due to expansion of offices and network improvements, and an increase in intangible assets of 26 million yen mainly due to improvements in the IT infrastructure environment, resulting in an increase in non-current assets of 252 million yen.

Total liabilities amounted to 4,587 million yen, an increase of 69 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in unearned revenue of 218 million yen, a decrease in accounts payable-trade of 83 million yen, and a decrease in accounts payable-other and accrued expenses of 43 million yen.

Total net assets amounted to 7,186 million yen (up 1,288 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year), due to the recording of 1,529 million yen in profit attributable to owners of parent and the payment of 281 million yen in dividends from surplus. As a result, the equity ratio improved by 4.4% points from the previous fiscal year to 61.0% (56.6% at the end of the previous fiscal year). We believe that we are maintaining a stable financial balance without interest-bearing debt.

(3) Discussion on Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter, "cash") at the end of the fiscal year under review increased by 1,175 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 6,370 million yen. The status of each type of cash flow and its factors are as follows.

(Cash flows from operating activities)

Net cash provided by operating activities was 1,890 million yen. (Acquired 1,320 million yen in the previous fiscal year) Major inflows included income before income taxes of 2,280 million yen, depreciation of fixed assets of 227 million yen, an increase in unearned revenue of 218 million yen, and an increase in notes and accounts receivable-trade of 181 million yen. Major outflows included income taxes paid of 799 million yen and an increase in accounts payable-other and accrued expenses of 124 million yen.

(Cash flows from investing activities)

Net cash used in investing activities was 420 million yen. (Use of 455 million yen in the previous consolidated fiscal year) Major expenditures included the purchase of property, plant and equipment of 236 million yen due to an increase in the floor space of offices and network improvements, the purchase of intangible assets of 121 million yen due to improvements in the IT infrastructure, and the payment of lease and guarantee deposits of 138 million yen.

(Cash flows from financing activities)

Net cash used in financing activities was 294 million yen. (Use of 232 million yen in the previous consolidated fiscal year)

The main expenditure was cash dividends paid of 281 million yen.

―7―

In our group, cash flows from operating activities in the first quarter are low due to income taxes paid and performance- linked bonuses paid to officers and employees. These cash flows gradually increase from the second quarter onward, and are generally positive on a full-year basis. In the consolidated accounting-related business, maintenance fees and commissions paid in the outsourcing business are paid annually in advance before the provision of services. As a result, the business model does not require much working capital. On the other hand, in the Business Intelligence segment, outsourcing expenses and other payments are made ahead of schedule, so demand for working capital will increase as sales grow. However, there are no concerns about cash management at this point, as the Group holds cash available for seamless intra-group financing, and has established a commitment line with each bank with a total amount of 3.5 billion yen in addition to the amount of cash held by the Group. Rather, the Company intend to put the cash into strategic investment.

(4) Consolidated Earnings Forecasts

In September 2018, we announced our new medium-term management plan, a five-year plan for the year ending June 2023. In fiscal year ending June 2021, the third year of the plan, we plan to continue to grow our three existing businesses while also promoting various activities aimed at dramatically increasing the ratio of recurrent revenues, which is one of the key goals of our medium-term management plan.

As a result of the expansion of COVID-19, domestic companies are postponing their IT investment, and there are concerns about the impact of this on the Group's business results, particularly in the first half of the fiscal year. Nevertheless, with the exception of some industries where the impact is enormous, the need for Digital Transformation (DX) is becoming stronger, and the needs of the Group for products and services themselves have not declined or disappeared. Rather, we believe that the need for DX is rising over the medium to long term.

As a result, we expect to achieve net sales of 16,110 million yen (up 2.7% year on year) and operating income of 2,330 billion yen (up 2.3%). These forecasts are based on the assumption that the effects of the spread of COVID-19 will converge to some extent by the end of 2020 and the economic activities of domestic companies will normalize by 2021. If the impact of COVID-19 is prolonged or a second wave arrives, the Group's operating results may deteriorate more than anticipated.

In accordance with our previous policy, we will raise the dividend over equity ratio, keeping in mind that it will always exceed the average for all listed companies. At the same time, we will pay a stable dividend (in principle, dividends per share should not be lower than the previous fiscal year's level). For the fiscal year under review, we plan to propose a dividend of 9 yen per share (after adjusting for the stock split on December 1, 2019) at our general meeting of shareholders on September 23, 2020.

Regarding dividends for the next fiscal year, although the policy itself remains unchanged, as the dividend on equity ratio has already exceeded the average for all listed companies, the Company is not strongly aware of the need to raise the dividend for the next fiscal year, and it is forecasting a dividend of 10 yen per share in consideration of stable dividends despite the uncertain economic situation.

(5) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Notes on Going-Concern Assumptions) Not applicable

(Changes in Basis of presentation)

[Consolidated statement of income statement]

"Subsidy income," which was included in subsection "Others" under "Non-operating income" in the previous fiscal year, is presented as a separate item from the fiscal year under review because it exceeded ten percent of total non-operating income. To reflect this change in presentation, the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year have been reclassified.

As a result, 1,427 thousand yen presented as "Other" under "Non-operating income" in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the previous fiscal year has been reclassified as 990 thousand yen of "Subsidy income" and 437 thousand yen of "Other."

[Consolidated cash flow statement]

"Subsidy income," which was included in "Income before income taxes and minority interests" under "Cash flows from operating activities" in the previous fiscal year, is presented separately from the fiscal year under review due to an increase in monetary materiality. To reflect this change in presentation, the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year have been reclassified.

Accordingly, "Subsidy income" is presented separately in the "Subtotal" column of "Cash flows from operating activities" below. To reflect this change in presentation, the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year have been reclassified.

As a result, 2,073,860 thousand yen presented as "Subtotal" under "Cash flows from operating activities" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the previous fiscal year has been reclassified as 990 thousand yen as "Subsidy income" (990) thousand yen as "Subsidy received," and 2,072,870 thousand yen as "Subtotal."

"Proceeds from collection of lease and guarantee deposits," which was included in "Other" under "Cash flows from investing activities" in the previous fiscal year, is presented separately from the current fiscal year due to an increase in monetary materiality. To reflect this change in presentation, the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year have been reclassified.

As a result, 3,640 thousand yen presented as "Others" under "Cash flows from investing activities" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the previous fiscal year has been reclassified as 138 thousand yen of "Proceeds from collection of lease and guarantee deposits" and 3,502 thousand yen of "Other."

(Segment Information and Others)

1. Summary of reportable segments

(1) Reason to determine the report segment

The Group's reportable segments was set up so that the Board of Directors can monitor regularly the separate financial information among our constituent units and make decisions on allocation of management resources and evaluate results of operations.

The Group is working to make management information "usable (Consolidated Accounting business)," "visible (Business Intelligence business)" and "reliable (Outsourcing business)" and thus measures performance of the three business portfolios; "Consolidated Accounting business", "Business Intelligence business" and "Outsourcing business" as reportable segments.

(2) Products and services included in each reportable segment

In Consolidated Accounting business, DIVA Corporation sells licenses and offer consulting service to implement the packaged software called DivaSystem, an internally developed package software for consolidated management and consolidated accounting. After the implementation, the Company also provide maintenance services, including software upgrades. Its consulting services also includes solutions related to IFRS, advanced management solutions, and budget management / management accounting solutions.

Consolidated Accounting business also reflects results of Internet Disclosure Co., Ltd. which offers search engines on disclosure information to audit corporations.

In the Business Intelligence business, ZEAL Corporation offers system integration services for effective management of various information among corporations, which is generally called Business Intelligence (BI). Through integration and organization of a large amount of data in a company's operating system, the Company can offer that information in reports and graphs and the management of the company can make decisions. In another words, the Company's system integration service is designed to help customers improve their ability to use information.

In the Outsourcing business, FIERTE Corporation offers outsourcing services on consolidated accounting and consolidated tax payment operations. While acting on behalf of the customers, the Company's solution can promote task diversification among employees and eliminate bottleneck, so that customers can devote more time on value-creating operations such as analysis and utilization of various information, and thus create value to their operations and management.

2. Formula to calculate revenue, profit or loss, assets, liabilities and other items by reportable segment

The reported method of accounting for operating segments is the same as formula generally used in the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

Profits for reportable segments are based on operating income. Intersegment sales and transfers are based on market prices.
