Highlights of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021

The Group handled the increase in volume, caused by the expansion of the e-commerce market, with stable quality by bringing forward the full-scale operation of the transfer center established in X FRONTIER. In the Logistics Business, the overseas freight forwarding business undertook many new contracts by exhibiting the Group's presence amid the global container shortage caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The Group's performance was steady primarily due to these factors.

  • (Industry)
    • The e-commerce market grew rapidly due to the impact of COVID-19, and the number of BtoC packages increased significantly
    • Delivery methods diversified, such as non-contact delivery and non-face-to-face delivery, due to the spread of COVID-19
    • In addition to the lack of air cargo space, the global container shortage led to tight supply-demand balance in air and marine cargo
  • (Overview of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021)
    • The change in sales mix continued as COVID-19 spread
      • BtoB decreased despite being on a recovery trend, and BtoC increased due to the expansion of the e- commerce market
      • The average unit price increased slightly year-on-year due to the continued increase in BtoC packages
    • Capacity increased with the full-scale operation of X FRONTIER's transfer center
    • The Logistics Business handled the emergency transportation of personal protective equipment overseas in the first half of the fiscal year, and secured marine and air cargo space while the volume of goods of existing customers recovered and the supply-demand balance tightened in the second half of the fiscal year)

Overview of results by segment

Delivery Business

  • The overall number of packages handled increased as the increase in BtoC packages surpassed the decrease in BtoB packages, which is on a recovery trend
  • Although efforts to receive appropriate freight tariffs continued, the increase in average unit price was marginal due to the increase in relatively compact BtoC packages
  • The early full-scale operation of X FRONTIER's transfer center enabled stable service quality despite the increase in volume, while contributing to improving productivity of the overall transportation network through decrease in driver waiting time, etc.
  • Continued to promote remote work and initiatives such as online sales as measures to address COVID- 19

Logistics Business

  • In the first half of the fiscal year, emergency international shipments of personal protection equipment increased
  • In the second half of the fiscal year, the profitability of freight forwarding in general increased due to the recovery in the volume of goods of existing customers and the securing of container space in the midst of tight supply-demand balance in both air and marine transportation due to the impact of the shortage of marine containers

Real Estate Business

  • Sold real estate according to plan (inclusion in private REITs)

Other Businesses

  • Vehicle sales decreased, while cash-on-delivery settlement increased
