  1. Explanation of Operating Results

The Japanese economy is still in a dire situation due to the impact of COVID-19. In terms of future prospects, while the economy is expected to recover, partly owing to the effects of various policies and improving overseas economies, as the economic and social activities head toward normalization, sufficient heed must be paid to downward risks also. It is necessary to closely observe the impacts of COVID-19, including variants, on national and international economies as well as on changes in the financial and capital markets.

In such an environment, the Group is engaged in value creation in a wide range of industries and companies such as making business strategy, M&As, business reform, organizational reform, utilization of digital technology and cloud solutions, project management, development of new business, promotion of collaboration between companies, business investment and creation of joint ventures. Our goal is to provide services toward realization of "Three Innovations" that promote digital transformation (DX) of companies, namely: (i) Streamlining existing business operations (Digital Transformation); (ii) Creating new value (Service Transformation); and (iii) Management platform reform (Management Transformation).

The Group has made the transition to a holding company system in October 2021. Under the umbrella of the holding company SIGMAXYZ Holdings Inc., Group companies, including SIGMAXYZ Inc., the new subsidiary that handles the consulting business, and SIGMAXYZ Investment Inc. that handles the investment business, will promote their business and strive to achieve further growth of the Group as a whole through services strengthened by collaboration.

The Group's revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 amounted to ¥11,303 million (up 10.4% year on year). Selling, general and administrative expenses were ¥3,134 million (up 11.1% year on year) as activities increased following an increase in revenue.

Due to an increase in revenue and a decrease in cost of revenue, gross profit increased by ¥1,229 million to ¥5,219 million (up 30.8% year on year), operating profit increased by ¥916 million to ¥2,084 million (up 78.4% year on year), and ordinary profit increased by ¥867 million to ¥2,080 million (up 71.6% year on year).

Profit attributable to owners of parent came to ¥1,269 million (up 70.7% year on year).

From the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Group has begun to report segment information for the following two segments as the importance of "investment business" increased: "Consulting Business" and "Investment Business."

Operating results for each segment are as follows.

(Consulting Business)

The financial results of the Consulting Business for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 shows revenue of ¥11,170 million and operating profit of ¥3,173 million. The consulting business was driven by projects supporting companies in their formulation of digital transformation strategies for companies, revitalization of organizations and personnel, and development of new businesses and services.

On the hiring front, the Company added 9 mid-career recruits and 50 new graduates in the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The training for new graduates has been completed successfully in a hybrid format combining a remote work environment and face-to-face training. They have started working on their job in October. The number of consultants was 485 as of the end of December, 2021. Project satisfaction remained high at 93 points.

(Investment Business)

The financial results of the Investment Business for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 shows revenue of ¥256 million and operating profit of ¥95 million. They derived mainly from assistance to invested companies and proceeds from sale of equities.

During the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Group sold its entire equity interest in JTB Benefit Service, inc. With regard to new investment, during the first six months ended September 30, 2021, the Group invested in Wellness Communications Corporation, which conducts health management SaaS and other businesses in the area of corporate wellness though ITOCHU Corporation's network. Furthermore, during the first nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Group made investment in PROGRIT Inc., which offers English learning and coaching services.

  1. Explanation of Financial Position (Assets)
    Total assets as of December 31, 2021 stood at ¥13,052 million (up ¥2,768 million from the end of the previous fiscal

year). This was mainly attributable to an increase in cash and deposits (up ¥1,564 million from the end of the previous fiscal year) and an increase in operational investment securities (up ¥515 million from the end of the previous fiscal year).

(Liabilities)

Liabilities as of December 31, 2021 totaled ¥3,415 million (down ¥1,405 million from the end of the previous fiscal year). This was mainly attributable to a decrease in short-term borrowings (down ¥1,600 million from the end of the previous fiscal year).

(Net assets)

Total assets as of December 31, 2021 stood at ¥9,636 million (up ¥4,174 million from the end of the previous fiscal year).
