August 2021 Operating Results
The Company released data today on results for August 2021. For details on non-consolidated net sales, and year-on-year growth on sales per customer and the number of customers of the B-to-B business, see the Supplementary Information.
Net sales
Non-consolidated net sales for August this year (from July 21, 2021 to August 20, 2021) decreased 0.3% year- on-year.Non-consolidated net sales of the mainstay B-to-B business decreased 2.3% due to a reactionary decline from the last fiscal year (the growth of sales for August 2020 were 12.9% on year-on-year basis after adjusting the difference of the number of business days) and delayed recovery of demands for office supplies caused by the resurgence of the pandemic as well as other factors. However, when compared to August 2019, the growth of sales is up 10.2% after adjusting the difference of the number of business days and growing steadily.
Non-consolidated net sales of LOHACO increased 10.7% due to the large-scale promotion in cooperation with Z Holdings Corporation.
