(1) Overview

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, the world economy continued to recover, especially in Europe and the U.S., as the impact of the novel coronavirus eased. Meanwhile, the outlook for the world economy is becoming increasingly uncertain against the backdrop of factors such as rising prices primarily due to a concurrent global economic recovery since the previous fiscal year, as well as soaring international commodity prices due to tensions in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions in China due to the impact of the lockdown under the government's "zero-COVID" policy, and progress in monetary tightening in various countries.

The Japanese economy experienced positive growth as personal consumption, mainly in services, boosted the real GDP growth rate, despite rising prices primarily due to a significant depreciation of the yen.

Amid these circumstances, the Company launched the five-year Eighth Mid-Term Management Plan, "Seiko Milestone 145 = SMILE145," which began in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, and proceeded with business development centered on the three newly defined strategic domains of "Emotional Value Solutions Business (EVS Business)," "Devices Solutions Business (DS Business)," and "Systems Solutions Business (SS Business)."

In the EVS Business, the Watches Business and WAKO Business for the Japanese market recovered significantly on the back of improved personal consumption. In the Watches Business, net sales for overseas markets also grew in many countries and regions. The DS Business continued to increase net sales by steadily capturing favorable demand. In the SS Business, net sales exceeded those of the previous fiscal year, thanks to successful efforts to diversify business and expand the stock business.

As a result, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Group reported consolidated net sales of 62.0 billion yen, a year-on-year increase of 13.7%.

On an overall consolidated basis, domestic net sales came to 30.8 billion yen (a year-on-year increase of 9.0%), and overseas net sales were 31.1 billion yen (a year-on-year increase of 18.9%). Overseas net sales comprised 50.3% of net sales overall.

Advertising and promotion expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 increased by approximately 10% from the same period of previous fiscal year. Although other selling, general and administrative expenses also increased year on year, operating profit improved by 1.5 billion yen year on year to 3.1 billion yen (a year-on-year increase of 105.3%), as a result of a recovery in net sales. Non-operating income and expenses improved year on year, primarily due to share of profit of entities accounted for using equity method, and ordinary profit increased by 2.2 billion yen year on year to 4.0 billion yen (a year-on-year increase of 126.4%). A loss of 0.1 billion yen relating to the novel coronavirus was posted as extraordinary losses. As a result, profit attributable to owners of parent minus income taxes and profit attributable to non-controlling interests was 1.7 billion yen (profit of 53 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year).

The average exchange rates for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 were 129.7 yen to 1 US dollar and 138.3 yen to 1 euro.

Results by Segment

Results for each segment are as follows:

To realize the Group 10-year vision, the Company has established three strategic domains (the Emotional Value Solutions domain, the Devices Solutions domain, and the Systems Solutions domain) based on the solutions it provides, and formulated and implemented strategies for each domain under the Eighth Mid-Term Management Plan, "SMILE145." Accordingly, reported segments have been changed from "Watches Business," "Electronic Devices Business," and "Systems Solutions Business" to the three strategic domains, "Emotional Value Solutions Business," "Devices Solutions Business," and "Systems Solutions Business," effective from the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. The previous Watches Business and some of the businesses included in the previous Electronic Devices Business, together with the Time Creation Business and WAKO Business in the Time Creation, WAKO and other Businesses, make up the Emotional Value Solutions Business. The Devices Solutions Business consists of the businesses previously in the Electronic Devices Business, other than those that have been changed to the Emotional Value Solutions Business. There are no changes from the previous business in the Systems Solutions Business.
