1. Operating Results

Forward-looking statements included in the following text are based on the judgments of the Group's management as of June 30, 2021.

The "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020), etc. have been applied from the three months ended June 30, 2021.

With the application of this accounting standard, etc. net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2021 declined significantly compared to net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Therefore, in the explanations about operating results in the three months ended June 30, 2021, year-on-year comparisons of net sales usually presented as percentages (% YoY), have been replaced with "(-- YoY)". For further details please refer to "(Changes in Accounting Policies)" under (4) Notes to the Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements" in "2. Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements and Key Notes".

(1) Overview of Operating Results

In the three months ended June 30, 2021, conditions in the Japanese economy remained challenging due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there were signs of recovery in certain sectors, the future outlook remains uncertain.

In the food industry, the increased demand for home-cooked meals in the previous fiscal year caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is settling down in the current fiscal year, while dining out demand remains sluggish.

In this business environment, the MEGMILK SNOW BRAND Group pursued initiatives to "Establish earnings bases in four business sectors (Dairy Products; Beverage & Dessert; Nutrition; and Feedstuffs

• Seed)" in accordance with the Group Medium-term Management Plan 2022. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Group undertook: (1) strategic expansion and further product mix improvement of yogurt, cheese, and other mainstay products, centered on functionality; (2) simultaneous pursuit of scale expansion and profit generation through continuation of marketing investment in the nutrition business field; (3) strategic expansion and development of an earnings base in the seed products business; and
  (4) bolstering of the Group's overall strengths by making full use of the Group's management resources and by improving the productivity of the value chain.

Amid the spread of COVID-19, the Group also took steps to prevent COVID-19 infections among Group employees and endeavored to provide a stable supply of safe and reliable products to customers.

As a result, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, consolidated net sales were ¥142,820 million (-- YoY), operating profit was ¥6,523 million (up 29.8% YoY), ordinary profit was ¥7,242 million (up 32.3%), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥4,800 million (up 51.1%).

Operating results by business segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021, were as follows. Net sales by segment are sales to outside customers. Comparisons of net sales with those of the three months ended June 30, 2020, are not shown, due to the fact that figures have been calculated assuming the application of the "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020).

1) Dairy Products

This segment comprises the manufacture and sale of dairy products (cheese, butter, powdered milk), margarine, nutrition business products (functional foods and infant formula),

and other products.

Net sales were ¥58,201 million (-- YoY), and operating profit was ¥3,551 million (up 9.2%).

Sales of butter and margarine declined year on year due to the settling down of the increased demand for home-cooked meals seen last year caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sales of cheese declined year on year overall as the rise in demand for home-cooked meals in the prior fiscal year settled down this fiscal year, despite a year-on-year increase in sales of natural cheeses due to factors including continued strong demand for cheese as an at-home snack item. Sales of functional food products continued to grow, owing to continued marketing investment in the e-commerce business which is performing well amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as increasing health-consciousness among consumers.

Operating profit increased due to factors including changes in product composition.
