1. Overview of operating results

(1) Overview of business performance

(All comparisons are with the same period of the previous fiscal year, unless stated otherwise.)

During the FY March 2021, the global economy was extremely challenging due to the rapid worsening of the economy caused by lockdowns and other factors associated with the expansion of COVID-19 pandemic. The Japanese economy also continued to face a challenging situation, as economic activities were restricted due to the issuance of the Emergency Declaration, corporate profits deteriorated, personal consumption declined, and demand from inbound tourists plummeted. However, in the snack foods and cereal foods markets, demand for household consumption increased due to requests to refrain going out, and the market size remained firm.

In this environment, we promoted business activities based on long-term vision (the vision for 2030) and the five-yearmedium-term business plan (from FY March 2020 to FY March 2024), as well as responding to changes in demand triggered by the expansion of COVID-19 pandemic and taking measures to deal with epidemics.

In the domestic business, the expansion of COVID-19 pandemic caused delays in the procurement of imported raw materials. However, we minimized the impact on our customers by reviewing our product policies, developing and launching alternative products. We also worked to ensure a stable supply of products by responding to a sharp increase in sales due to nesting demand, by shifting production flexibly. With regard to office workers, by making mobile work a principle, we have further evolved the new ways of working that we have been pursuing in the past.

In April 2020, we acquired all of the shares of Potato Kaitsuka Co.Ltd. (hereinafter, "Potato Kaitsuka"), which is engaged in the wholesaling of sweet potatoes products and the direct sales of baked sweet potatoes and other products, as part of our efforts to establish a business in new food domains. We expanded business of sweet potatoes by leveraging the potato procurement expertise of the Calbee Group. Aiming for sustainable growth, we concluded an agreement with the government of Hiroshima Prefecture in May 2020 with the aim of constructing a new plant (commencing operations in the FY March 2025) in Hiroshima Prefecture, our birthplace. The new state-of-the-art factory will serve as a "mother factory" that is responsible for technical development through the introduction of cutting-edge technologies such as DX, and new product development in addition to the manufacture of existing products.

In the overseas business, we focused on establishing revenue-generating bases in four key regions (North America, Greater China, the United Kingdom, and Indonesia). In China, we strengthened our lineup of cereal foods and snack foods and actively promoted sales to meet rising demand for e- commerce, and promoted the penetration of the Calbee brand. In North America, we worked to integrate Warnock Food Products, Inc. (hereinafter, "Warnock"), which began consolidation in November 2019, into our management.

Consolidated net sales for the FY March 2021 increased 4.2% to ¥266,745 million due to nesting demand and the contribution by the acquisition of Potato Kaitsuka and Warnock. Operating profit decreased 2.2% to ¥27,064 million, and operating margin was 10.1%, a deterioration of 0.7 percentage points. Operating profit declined due to lower sales of high-value-added gift snack items, despite contributions of higher sales and cost reduction such as travel and transportation expenses and sales promotional expenses. Ordinary profit increased 0.5% to ¥27,522 million including foreign exchange gain of ¥452 million. Profit attributable to owners of parent increased 0.8% to 17,682 million.
