The Oji Group has set "Profitability Improvement of Domestic Business", "Expansion of Overseas Business" and "Promotion of Innovation" as the fundamental policies of its FY2019-2021Medium-term Management Plan. Through "Contribution to a Sustainable Society", we aim to become a global corporate group which stably maintains consolidated operating profit of more than ¥100.0 billion.
Based on the fundamental policies, in the domestic business, we have focused on restructuring our production system to respond to the structural changes in demand, and worked to improve capital efficiency while concentrating management resources on promising businesses to strengthen our ability to generate cash flow. In regard to overseas business, we have organically expanded the existing operations by expanding the number of overseas operations as well as developing new businesses utilizing existing infrastructure. We have also worked to create synergies among our businesses as well as operations. In regard to promoting innovation, we have promoted the development and the early commercialization of new businesses and products that meet the needs of the environment and society, in order to actualize "Contribution to a Sustainable Society".
As the business environment has changed drastically due to the spread of COVID-19, consumption structure, lifestyles, and working styles have diversified, and many opportunities and risks are expected to expand. Meanwhile, we will continue to steadily implement strategic measures to improve our corporate value in line with our fundamental policies of management strategies in Medium-term Management Plan. We will also promptly and appropriately implement business structure reforms in light of environmental changes caused by COVID-19.
Consolidated net sales for the first half of FY2021 increased by ¥56.1 billion to ¥708.5 billion (year-on-year increase of 8.6%) due to a gradual recovery in demand resulting from the resumption of economic activities that had been stagnant due to the spread of COVID-19 and higher pulp sales prices. Overseas sales ratio increased by 3.8 points from the previous year to 32.4%.
Consolidated operating profit increased by ¥34.4 billion to ¥63.7 billion (year-on-year increase of 117.3%) due to increased sales volume, higher pulp sales prices, and cost reduction efforts throughout the Group. Ordinary profit increased by ¥46.7 billion to ¥68.8 billion (year-on-year increase of 211.5%) due in part to an increase in operating profit and foreign exchange gains from revaluation of foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables. Profit before taxes increased by ¥45.6 billion to ¥67.8 billion (year-on-year increase of 205.1%), and profit attributable to owners of parent increased by ¥35.3 billion to ¥45.6 billion (year-on-year increase of 343.0%).
Effective from the beginning of the first quarter of FY2021, Oji Holdings has applied "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020)" and has changed the accounting method for revenue recognition.
