Financial Summary

Business Results for 2022 Q2

Revenue: 213.8 billion yen (up 14.1 billion yen YoY)

In addition to the growth in overseas alcoholic beverages mainly in North America, demand in the restaurant market recovered on relaxation of restrictions and increase in RTD also contributed to the increased revenue.

Core operating profit: (2.2) billion yen (up 1.3 billion yen YoY)

Despite the impact of rising input costs, core operating profit showed improvement thanks to revenue increase and cost structure reforms in the restaurant business and in food and soft drinks.

* Although sales revenue has not progressed as planned in the Q1 due to the spread of COVID-19, core operating profit progressed largely as planned.

Operating profit: (0.2) billion yen (down 19.3 billion yen YoY)

Due to the sale of real estate last year, real estate business revenue was down from the previous quarter year (Gain on sales of non-current assets came to 23.2 billion yen in 2021, 1.5 billion yen in 2022)

Annual revenue forecast: remain as planned at the start

Revenue

: Slight shortfall in the first half. The spread of COVID-19 may be a downside risk, but we expect to achieve the initial plan as price

revisions for some products could bring increased revenue and revenue in the overseas business is likely to rise

(including acquisition of Stone Brewing Co., LLC, depreciation of Japanese yen).

Core operating profit : Progressed as planned in the first half. Although we need to address the rising input costs, price revisions and cost control

(and risk response costs) should offset the situation, so we expect to achieve our plan at this stage.
