1. Overview of Operating Results, etc.

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

  The Japanese economy in the consolidated fiscal year under review is under the influence of the prolonged COVID-19 (hereinafter referred to as the infection) pandemic, and the economy has repeatedly declined and recovered due to the repeated declaration of the states of emergency and application of the quasi-emergency measures throughout the country. Although the Japanese economy has begun to show signs of temporary recovery such as the decrease in the number of infections due to the progress in vaccine rollout, the impact of the outbreak of the new variant of the infection is significant and the outlook remains uncertain due to soaring prices of raw materials and a rise in the prices of crude oil mainly due to increased geopolitical risk.

  The retail industry continued to face a severe situation as well, mainly due to the recurrent outbreak and containment of the infection, especially the thorough implementation of measures to prevent the spread of the infection in stores, responding to rising demand for eating at home, and persistent consumer savings consciousness due to the outbreak of the new variant of the infection.

  Under such circumstances, we have decided the slogan for the fiscal year as "Let's respond to changes in the social environment and diversifying customer needs by changing the mindset of each individual and taking action" under the new management system. With the basic stance of responding to the ever-changing social environment and customer needs, and providing customers with food safety and security, and a prosperous life, we have worked to provide products and services that can respond to changing lifestyles with an eye on a post-COVID-19 world. In addition, we have continued to thoroughly implement preventive measures against the infection at each store, and have worked to provide sales systems and services to ensure the safety of employees and earn the trust of our customers.

  As for the new store openings for the current fiscal year, we opened the "Tanabe Higashiyama Store" (Tanabe-shi, Wakayama) in March and the "Pare Marche Jingumae Store" (Nagoya-shi, Aichi) in July. As for the revitalization of existing stores, we renovated the "Pavilion City Tanabe Store" (Tanabe-shi, Wakayama), the "Katsuragi Store" (Katsuragi-cho, Ito-gun, Wakayama), the "Hisai Shoda Store" (Tsu-shi, Mie), the "Kashihara Bojo Store" (Kashihara-shi, Nara) and the "Wakayama Nakanoshima Store" (Wakayama-shi, Wakayama), etc.

  On the other hand, in order to improve management efficiency, we closed the "Pare Marche Jingu Store" (Nagoya-shi, Aichi), the "Price Cut Nagai Store" (Nara-shi, Nara), the "Price Cut Nishinokyo Store" (Nara-shi, Nara), the "Yakata Store" (Wakayama-shi, Wakayama), the "Price Cut Kamikura Store" (Shingu-shi, Wakayama), the "Iga Midorigaoka Store" (Iga-shi, Mie), the "Pare Marche Nishiharu Store" (Kita Nagoya-shi, Aichi) and the "Price Cut Yanaizu Store" (Gifu-shi, Gifu).

  As for consolidated subsidiaries, Hiramatsu Co., Ltd., a food supermarket, and SUNRISE., CO. LTD., which handles the processing and delivery of agricultural products, etc., saw lower sales and profits due in part to the reactionary fall from the stay-at-home demand. On the other hand, OAK FOODS CO.LTD. which operates restaurant businesses, posted higher sales and profits due to a partial recovery of demand for restaurants.

  As a result, for the consolidated fiscal year under review, the Group posted operating income (net sales and operating revenue) of 266,532 million yen (a decrease of 4.5% year on year), operating profit of 5,233 million yen (a decrease of 33.3% year on year), ordinary profit of 5,463 million yen (a decrease of 31.8% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of 1,523 million yen (a decrease of 59.8% year on year), against a backdrop of the reactionary fall from the stay-at-home demand in the previous fiscal year.

• (2) Overview of Financial Position for the Fiscal Year under Review
