1. Overview of Operating Results, etc.

(1) Analysis of Operating Results

In fiscal 2021, the year ended November 30, 2021, the Japanese economy is expected to recover as a result of various government policies and improvements in the overseas economy, while socio-economic activities are starting to normalize. However, attention must be paid to trends in the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in Japan and overseas, as well as the impact of volatility in global financial and capital markets.

In this environment, in the Japanese used car sales industry, domestic used car registrations from December 2020 through November 2021 were 6,288,062 vehicles (down 1.0% year on year). By vehicle type, used car registrations were 3,269,473 vehicles (down 1.6% year on year) for ordinary passenger cars and 3,018,589 vehicles (down 0.4% year on year) for kei-cars for the same period. (Source: statistical data from the Japan Automobile Dealers Association and Japan Light Motor Vehicle and Motorcycle Association.)

In this business environment, based on the management philosophy of "Be loved by Customers," the NEXTAGE Group has operated stores with "Lifetime value" and the number of customers under management ("managed customers"), which means the number of users who have had a transaction with us within the past three years, in mind.

In dealership openings, the Group opened Miyazaki-Kita Store, which is the first in Miyazaki Prefecture, Nisshin-Ekimae Store in Aichi Prefecture, and Kochi Store, which is the first in Kochi Prefecture, in April 2021, Makuhari Store in Chiba Prefecture in May 2021, Oita Store in Oita Prefecture and Morioka Store, which is the first in Iwate Prefecture, in July 2021, Ota Store in Gunma Prefecture and Niiza Store in Saitama Prefecture in September 2021, and Sapporo Teine Store in Hokkaido in November 2021, all as general stores.

The Group also opened Ichinomiya-Subaru Specialist Store in April 2021, UNIVERSE Chiba-Kita in May 2021, and Hiroshima Aki Store in November 2021 as specialist stores. In addition, the Group opened 10 vehicle purchasing specialist stores as storefront additions to existing dealerships, as well as Iwaki Store, Nagakute-Green Road Store, Hamamatsu Store, Akishima Store, Saitama-Chuo Store, Ishioka Store, Katsushika Store, Hiroshima Misasa Store, Ikebukuro Store, Kyoto Yawata Store, Nara Store, Kashihara Store, Hachioji Store, Setagaya Store, and Hirosaki Store, all as vehicle purchasing stores in a standalone format. With regard to authorized imported car dealerships, the Group opened Volkswagen Osaka Hirakata as an authorized dealership for Volkswagen.
