Notice Regarding Partial Amendments to the Consolidated Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30,

2022 [IFRS] (Consolidated)

OUTSOURCING Inc. (hereinafter the "Company") hereby announces that it has made partial amendments to the Consolidated Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 [IFRS] (Consolidated), which was announced on August 5, 2022.

Since the numerical data has been amended, the amended numerical data will also be sent.

Particulars

  1. Reason for the Amendments
    In the account settlement procedure after the announcement of the consolidated financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2022, some of the statements have been amended, so the Company will amend the submitted consolidated financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
    The detailed background is as follows: the legal counsel of the SL Group, a consolidated subsidiary in Chile, has confirmed that transactions with the owner, a leasing company, are conducted at a level higher than the market price in June 2022, so it is currently investigating the matter and taking legal action. At present, the Company does not consider it necessary to revise its financial statements with this matter. However, if the Company confirms any events that should be disclosed after the completion of a thorough examination, it will promptly disclose such events. Aside from this, there was an increase in advance payments in the assets of the SL Group. In preparing the financial statements for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, some of the increased advance payments had been scrutinized and transferred to other items, including but not limited to software in progress and fixed assets, but some factors behind the increase were unknown due to lack of sufficient evidence, so the Company was confirming the details. In order to evaluate the reliability of the financial statements of the SL Group, the Company analyzed the increases and decreases in the financial statements of the SL Group as a whole, though not for all accounts, and because it was able to confirm the main reasons for the increases and decreases, it disclosed its financial results on August 5, 2022. Thereafter, in the process of the accounting auditor's quarterly review procedures, the Company carefully examined, with a broader scope, the details of each account title based on the above, and as a result, it has been decided that in addition to advance payments, some assets that could not be confirmed as assets, such as accounts receivable that are over 90 days, will be recorded as expenses conservatively. As a result, the figures in the financial statements in the second quarter report will be changed, so the consolidated financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 will also be amended.
  2. Amendments

Due to the large number of amendments, the entire text after the amendments will be attached, and the parts that were amended will be underlined.

1. QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ON QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

(1) Overview of Consolidated Operating Results

The business environment during the six months ended June 30, 2022 (the "current period"), gradually saw signs of recovery from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, pervasive uncertainty still remained as myriad events with significant repercussions on international affairs continued, such as new variants of coronaviruses spreading infections, the Ukraine crisis, the tightening of financial conditions, and persistent inflationary pressures.

Although the economy in Japan saw an upward trend despite a falling yen and soaring resource prices, major manufacturers, representing the Company's main customers, were forced to reduce the level of factory operation due to lockdowns in Shanghai as well as prolonged semiconductor shortage and other supply restrictions. Meanwhile, companies in the information technology (IT), construction, and service industries continued to show a strong need for hiring engineers on the back of serious labor shortage. A consistent gain in demand was also evident in the area of system engineering and digital transformation (DX). As a strong demand for implementing systems continued to grow, restructuring activities, such as disposals of companies or businesses, in manufacturing and IT industries also accelerated during the current period.

In response to such business environment in Japan, the OUTSOURCING Group (the "Group") has pursued to reinforce the growth domain by smoothing out earnings. In the manufacturing field, part of the work performed by fixed-term workers are replaced by dispatching workers under a long-term dispatch contract to mitigate the effect of production adjustment. Also, the Group continues to expand a dispatched employee management system, called "Cloud Staffing Management (CSM)," an HR tech service aiming to improve the productivity of customers through digitalizing dispatch management tasks. The Group has now entered into a new phase through a joint project with industry leaders to develop the "Industry Standard Platform," making the system become the de-facto industry standard platform for dispatched employee management. In the auto industry, although the supply chain disruption including semiconductor shortage has tentatively affected the production line, the demand for automobiles remains high and production is expected to catch up. Thus, when looking at the auto industry over a span of one year, the effect on the Group business is expected to ease. In the administrative work outsourcing business for technical intern trainees, the number of foreign workers under management marked 18,660 as of June 30, 2022, which continues to represent the top share in Japan, despite limitations on entering Japan and precarious conditions of inbound flights under the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to positive feedback from customers for the Group's efficient and appropriate management service. In the engineering field, the Group is promoting "Dispatch 2.0," a business model to improve efficiency and reduce manpower at the same time by combining engineers and technology. Also, the Group has developed a business scheme utilizing KEN School, one of the Group companies specialized in offering training service. KEN School provides training to people with little experience to enable them to work not only in the engineering field but also in various industries, including IT, construction, and pharma. By keeping recruitment costs at a low level while increasing the number of hiring through this scheme, the Group has successfully grown the business. Further, in April 2022, more than 3,200 new hires have joined the Group, making it one of the leading companies in hiring new graduates. This clearly demonstrates not only our high recruiting capability but also the Group's excellence in marketing to find a new workplace suitable for people with little experience, on-boarding training for our people, and the ability to build a trusted relationship with client companies. Besides the manufacturing field, which is more susceptible to macroeconomic dynamics, the Group is aiming to expand businesses that are less affected by economic fluctuations. In particular, the business with U.S. military facilities continues to see a steady growth in demand for renovation and maintenance services for buildings and facilities, which are less affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. As bidders for U.S. military construction projects are generally required to place an equivalent amount of bonds (i.e., performance guarantee insurance), the Company has successfully stretched the credit line of bonds by leveraging its creditworthiness to win large projects with high profitability.

Looking at the market overseas, despite the promotion of a large-scale inoculation together with COVID-19 countermeasures, uncertainty still remained quite high under the following circumstances: sudden increase of geopolitical risks led by the Ukraine crisis, growing concerns over recession driven by inflationary pressures and further monetary tightening, and the quick spread of new variants of coronavirus.

Under such business environment, the Group has continued to make all-out effort to reinforce the growth domain by smoothing out earnings for its overseas businesses. In detail, in addition to expanding outsourcing businesses in the public sector, including government projects, which are less susceptible to economic fluctuations, the Group offers engineering outsourcing service in a remote working environment. Also, the Group is rolling out a scheme to mobilize human resource at a global level from countries that have plenty of work force to those that
