(1) Overview of Operating Results for the Fiscal Year under Review

During the fiscal year under review (the year ended December 31, 2021), the world economy and the Japanese economy continued to be unstable due to the spread of COVID-19, with economic activity at a standstill, supply chains disrupted, and inflation pressures increasing. Meanwhile, progress was seen in terms of sharing a sense of crisis regarding climate change and making efforts toward carbon neutrality, including an agreement reached at COP26 in the United Kingdom to limit the rise in global average temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

In the water supply and sewerage field, torrential rains in Shizuoka and Kanagawa Prefectures triggered a major landslide in Atami City in July. Then in October, a water supply bridge suddenly collapsed in Wakayama Prefecture. This reiterated the importance of preparing for natural disasters caused by climate change and managing aging infrastructure.

Risks that threaten safety and health, such as the spread of COVID-19 and the escalation of climate change, are increasing. Along with measures against the spread of COVID-19, global warming, and natural disasters, the importance of life-support infrastructure such as water supply and sewerage is increasing. Enhanced functionality and efficient management are necessary, in addition to measures that address intensifying natural disasters and work toward a decarbonized society.

NJS Co., Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, "the Group") formed the "NJS Group PLAN 2030: Strategies for the Era of Carbon-Neutral," whose purpose is to "Pass healthy water and environment to future generations." Based on the principle of making water and an environment that protect the health and safety of the next generations, this plan strives to create a decarbonized era, increase corporate value, and achieve growth. The Group will develop a consulting business for this new era, as well as create a wide range of technologies and services beyond consulting.

As a result, in the fiscal year under review, on a consolidated basis, the Group posted consolidated orders received of 18,185 million yen (down 3.4% year on year) and net sales of 19,315 million yen (up 1.9% year on year).

With regard to ,profits the Group had strived for active investment in technological development and efforts to increase productivity, then posted operating profit of 2,758 million yen (up 11.7% year on year), ordinary profit of 2,859 million yen (up 14.0% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of 1,929 million yen (up 13.3% year on year) that marked the highest at an all time.

Operating results by segment are as described below

[Japan]

In Japan, we worked mainly on exanimating and planning to rebuild infrastructure, prevention, mitigation, and resilience against intensifying natural disasters, streamlining inspections of infrastructure, and operations to promote public-private partnership projects.

As a result, orders received were 16,612 million yen (down 3.9% year on year), net sales were 16,156 million yen (up 4.9% year on year), and operating profit was 2,483 million yen (down 4.4% year on year).

[Overseas]

In overseas operations, we pursued water infrastructure projects in emerging countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and elsewhere.

As a result, orders received were 1,573 million yen (up 2.4% year on year), net sales were 2,932 million yen (down 12.4% year on year), and operating profit was 181 million yen (operating loss of 205 million yen in the previous fiscal year).
