ARTNATURE INC. (7823) Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2022
1. Analysis of operating results and financial position
(1) Analysis of operating results
Operating results for the first three months of fiscal 2022
In the first three months of fiscal 2022 (April-June 2021), economic activities were restricted in Japan due to the impact of the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, which had continued since the previous fiscal year, and the declaration of a state of emergency. As consumer spending is sluggish, the outlook for the Japanese economy remains uncertain because there are still no prospects for the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite vaccination and other measures taken to prevent the spread of infections.
Against this backdrop, ARTNATURE INC. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the ARTNATURE Group) saw the ARTNATURE Challenge Plan, the three-yearmedium-term management plan, mark its second year. Under the plan, we have been implementing six priority challenge initiatives, as we did in the first year: (1) grow the Group's earnings, (2) develop new business fields, (3) reinforce recruitment, (4) cultivate human resources, (5) encourage dialogue with capital markets, and (6) drive business innovation, with the aim of strengthening the ARNATURE Group's position in existing businesses and further expanding new businesses to build the foundations for a new ARTNATURE capable of opening up the next phase in the
Group's history. At the same time, we have continued to take comprehensive measures to prevent COVID-19 infections in our business activities since the previous fiscal year.
As a result, consolidated net sales in the first three months under review increased 75.7% year on year to ¥9,513 million. In terms of profits, operating income stood at ¥904 million (compared with an operating loss of ¥1,971 million in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year), and ordinary income came to ¥842 million (compared with an ordinary loss of ¥1,963 million in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year) due to an increase in net sales. Net income attributable to owners of the parent company was ¥488 million (compared with a net loss attributable to owners of the parent company of ¥1,439 million in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year).
Business results by segment are as follows.
< Men's business >
Sales in the men's business increased 62.7% year on year, to ¥5,313 million, as a result of eliminating the significant fall in sales in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year that had been caused by the temporary closure of production sites in the Philippines associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, in addition to the sale of new products and the promotion of measures to retain customers, etc.
< Ladies' business >
Sales in the ladies' business rose 124.0% year on year, to ¥2,981 million, as a result of eliminating the significant fall in sales in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year that had been caused by the temporary closure of production sites in the Philippines associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, similarly to sales in men's business, in addition to the sale of new products and the holding of exhibition and trial fitting events, among other measures.
< Ladies' ready-made wigs business >
Sales in the ladies' ready-made wigs business increased 63.3% year on year to ¥851 million, despite the impact of the temporary closure of the retail facilities in which the Company's stores are located due to the spread of COVID-19, because the impact was relatively limited compared with the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.
