Results for the fiscal year

ended March 31, 2022

  1. Reason for the difference

Net sales were lower than the previous forecast due to delay in establishing sales of new services, mobile ordering service "Gurunavi FineOrder" and "Furusato nozei service" etc.

On the other hand, expenses were significantly lower than the previous forecast due to progress in controlling costs such as business consignment expenses through narrowing down key measures and reviewing management resource allocation, ensure efficient management of advertising and sales promotion expenses with an emphasis on cost-effectiveness and dissolve the Company's consolidated subsidiary, Gurunavi Promotion Community, Inc. etc. As a result, each loss narrowed from the previous forecasts.
