Overview of business results

During the consolidated fiscal year under review (January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021), the Japanese economy showed signs of recovery as the severe situation caused by the novel coronavirus infection gradually eased. While the recovery trend is expected to continue, supported by the effects of various policies, attention should be paid to the impact of the infection, including its variant, on the domestic and overseas economies and the effects of fluctuations in financial and capital markets.

Although the beauty salon industry was affected by the repeated issuance and extension of state of emergency declarations, demand for services has been solid, and the chain store sales of the Group have been recovering to the level before the COVID-19 related crisis. However, the outlook for the future infection status, including the spread of the variant, remains uncertain and the situation does not allow for optimism.

Under these circumstances, the Arte Group ("the Group") has been thoroughly implementing anti-infection measures in accordance with the current situation of each store, including workplace vaccination for employees, placing top priority on the safety and health of customers and employees.

Based on a long-term portfolio strategy, we have developed multiple brands to meet the diverse needs of customers in each of our operating companies. With design-oriented salons such as Ash and New YorkNew York, which provide high-quality services, at the core of our operations, we are also opening maintenance salons under Choki Peta brand, which provide cut and color services at reasonable prices against the backdrop of growing demand for regular hair maintenance.

We conduct our business activities based on thorough hygiene management at each of our operating companies and brands to ensure the safety and security of our stores. At the same time, under the management philosophy of "providing beauty, health, and youthfulness to customers in the community and aiming to build companies that can establish a society of well-being with everyone involved in the Group," we are implementing various measures to strengthen the unity of the Group, improve management efficiency, and build the best stores in the region.

In response to the prolonged impact of the novel coronavirus, we are focusing on measures to increase sales per customer, such as proposing value-added menus and strengthening the sales of salon retail products. At the same time, we are accelerating the digitalization and smartification of all aspects, including store operations, sales promotion, and technical training, to improve productivity and strengthen the earnings base that will support further growth of the Group in anticipation of the eventual digital transformation (DX) of the beauty industry.

For design-oriented salons, we are developing web marketing strategies for each salon by stylists with marketing skills, working to strengthen the counseling and proposal skills of our staff with the aim of retaining customers, and enhancing the latest hair care products and menus targeting customers with high sense of beauty, to provide high-value- added services.

Furthermore, we are also developing various private brands, including "ennic" series, a new line of original hair and skin care products containing people- and environment-friendly natural ingredients, to raise brand awareness.

As for Choki Peta, maintenance salons, we are mainly opening stores in commercial facilities to offer quick haircut and color services at reasonable prices during shopping, enhancing convenience and providing services tailored to customers' lifestyles.

As a result of the above, the chain store sales of the Company's major subsidiaries for the fiscal year under review were as follows: Ash Co., Ltd. ("Ash"), 111.3% of the same period in the previous year; New YorkNew York Co., Ltd.( "NYNY"), 108.5%; Style Designer Inc. ("SD"), 104.6; and C&P Co., Ltd. ("C&P"), 121.6%. The number of customers of the Company's major subsidiaries was 107.8% of the same period in the previous year. Accordingly, net sales at all chain stores of the Group totaled 18,611 million yen (110.3%).

During the fiscal year under review, the number of stores operated by the Group's consolidated subsidiaries totaled 336 (Ash, 130 stores; NYNY, 42 stores; SD, 99 stores; C&P, 56 stores; and Diamond Eyes Co., Ltd., 9 stores). Including one overseas store (Republic of Singapore), the number of stores in the Group reached 337. The number of Choki Peta stores in the Kansai region operated by NYNY was 10, and the total number of franchise stores in the Group totaled 229 ( Ash, 106 stores; NYNY, 22 stores; SD, 99 stores; and C&P, 2 stores).

As a result, consolidated earnings for the fiscal year under review were as follows: Net sales amounted to 8,639 million yen (109.8% of the same period in the previous year), operating profit was 570 million yen (462.2 % of the same period in the previous year), ordinary profit was 636 million yen (209.6 % of the same period in the previous year), and profit attributable to owners of parent came to 274 million yen (compared with a loss attributable to owners of parent of 196 million yen for the same period in the previous year).

The description by segment is omitted because the Company Group engages in a single segment of beauty salon chain business.
