T-Gaia Corporation (3738) / Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2022 (Based on J-GAAP)

1. Summary of Results of Operations

The Company has applied the "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020) and relevant revised ASBJ regulations from the beginning of the current fiscal year. As for applying the accounting standard and relevant revised ASBJ regulations, the Company, in accordance with the general rules for accounting treatment as set forth in paragraph 84 of the accounting standard, retrospectively applies the new accounting principles to all of the prior periods. Therefore, the Company compares its performance with the previous fiscal year and analyzes the data using the figures after applying the accounting standard and relevant revised ASBJ regulations.

Regarding the business combination with TF Mobile Solutions Corporation carried out on November 2, 2020 (it was absorbed through an absorption-type merger on February 1, 2021. Below, "TFM."), although a provisional accounting treatment was applied in the previous fiscal year, this was settled in the second quarter of the current fiscal year. Therefore, figures used in comparisons with the previous fiscal year and analysis are figures that have been revised following the settlement of this provisional accounting treatment.

  1. Summary of results of operations for the period under review
    In the fiscal year under review (April 2021 to March 2022), the Japanese economy continues to face a difficult situation due to the

impact of COVID-19. Looking forward, while there is an increasing sense of uncertainty because of the situation in Ukraine, for example, careful attention needs to be paid to the risk of an economic downturn at home and abroad due to supply side limitations and trends in raw material and other prices, as well as fluctuations in the financial and capital markets.

In the market for mobile phone handsets, which is the main business field of the Group (the Company, its consolidated subsidiaries, and its equity-method affiliates), the steady popularization of handsets compatible with 5G (5th-generation mobile communication system) has begun. On the other hand, the provision of online-only plans for service, which will not provide in-store assistance, started in March 2021, which has caused a dramatic change to the role of shops and the competitive environment. In the second quarter of the current fiscal year, commission terms and conditions for some telecommunications carriers were revised. Also, delays to the delivery of some products caused by a global supply shortage of semiconductors, etc., have become prolonged.

Under this business environment, the Group's unit sales of mobile handsets, etc. (below, "unit sales") during the period under review jumped from the previous period to 4,160,000 as a result of the following factors.

  1. The impact of shortened operating hours and suspensions of operations at carrier shops and some limits on services available (in response to a nationwide declaration of a state of emergency) in 1Q FY 2021 (April to June 2020)
  2. The shift from 3G (3rd-generation mobile communication system) networks to 4G and 5G networks and increased competition among telecommunications carriers
  3. An increase in the number of shops from making TFM a subsidiary in November 2020

On the other hand, the revisions to commission terms and conditions for some telecommunications carriers as mentioned above and an increase in the ratio of sales of products other than main brand products led to a year-on-year decline in Group commission income.

From the third quarter of the current fiscal year, the Group has been engaged in increasing sales of original products and enhancing the productivity of shop operations primarily in the Consumer Mobile Business Segment. Despite the gradual emergence of effects from an improvement in operating profit compared to the second quarter of the current fiscal year, for example, the financial forecasts announced at the beginning of the term were not achieved.

As a result, consolidated business results for the period under review marked net sales of 476,464 million yen (+12.6% year-on- year), with operating profit of 10,567 million yen (-24.7%). As a result of a significant year-on-year decrease in the recognized amount of card deposits, ordinary profit marked 15,381 million yen (-22.3%) and profit attributable to owners of parent posted 10,579 million yen (-18.9%).

Consolidated results of each business segment for the fiscal year under review are detailed below.

[Consumer Mobile Business Segment]

In Consumer Mobile Business Segment, although unit sales increased year on year as mentioned above, commission income declined due to factors such as revisions to commission terms and conditions.

In addition to selling handsets, shops are playing an important role in the area of offering value in the non-telecommunications field, which each telecommunications carrier is focusing on, such as content from various services and payment services using smartphones. Moreover, through such services as our on-site sales service, we have newly created opportunities for sales and service provision and are expanding our points of contact with customers. Internal support systems have been enhanced, including the centralization of tasks for the selection and preparation of on-site sales service locations, for example.

At shops that were formerly directly managed by TFM, we integrated various internal systems and shop management systems in July 2021. We will continue to accelerate initiatives aiming at maximizing synergies, such as personnel exchanges and efficient

personnel deployment.

Regarding investments in shops, in the period under review, we closed or transferred ownership of unprofitable shops.

As a result, net sales totaled 407,141 million yen (+14.6% year-on-year) and net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company totaled 5,607 million yen (-23.5%).

[Enterprise Solutions Business Segment]

In mobile solutions for enterprise clients' business, sales units jumped year on year due to the inclusion of the corporate sales channel of the former TFM. Although workstyle reforms are driving proactive ICT investment and demand for smart devices that can be used for remote work continues to flourish due to the impact of COVID-19 infections, delays to the delivery of some products caused by a global supply shortage of semiconductors, etc., have continued for a prolonged time.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased year on year due to staff expansion and system investments, etc. with the aim to expand business scale and improve productivity.

Under these conditions, the Group is expanding products and services for its Life Cycle Management operations revolving around administrative and support services for device life cycles spanning from procurement, propositions, and introduction support for smart devices including PCs, to building Wi-Fi environment, maintenance, operations, and updating services. Moreover, the Group continued to adapt to changes in the business environment, including by focusing on proposing the building, operation, maintenance, etc. of networks that use edge solutions.

In products related to fixed-line telecommunications, the Company has continued to work to improve the quality of support for resale wholesalers and clients for the Company's own "TG Hikari" fiber-optics access service, and to improve business efficiency and strengthen direct sales through the introduction of systems.

As a result, we recorded net sales of 35,294 million yen (+9.1% year-on-year) and net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company of 1,862 million yen (-3.8%).

[Payment Service Business and Other Business Segment]

In Payment Service Business and Other Business Segment, gift card transaction volumes were down compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. The demand for a variety of digital content, including games, music, and video streaming, continued to gradually decline from an increase during the nationwide voluntary lockdown.

Sales in the wholesale of smartphone accessories mainly to convenience stores continued to be robust due to the expansion of sales channels and the broadening of the merchandise lineup, despite costs which were recorded in the first quarter, such as the cost of addressing mislabeling of the manufacturing country in some products.

With respect to other new business, we continued to work on such areas as the operation of ICT schools for children and the hosting of online events for the e-Sports business.

QUO CARD Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary, saw a decline in the amount of issuance for QUO Card compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, when there was the special demand, primarily from local governments and other organizations, in order to support healthcare workers.

On the other hand, the number of member stores which accept QUO Card and QUO Card Pay steadily expanded.

As a result, net sales marked 34,028 million yen (-3.4%year-on-year), with profit attributable to owners of parent of 3,109 million yen (-17.8%) due to the significant year-on-year decrease related to hoarded cards mentioned above.

  1. Summary of financial position for the current fiscal year (Assets)
    Current assets at the end of the period under review were 194,542 million yen, which was 10,929 million yen higher than at the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an 8,760 million yen increase in cash and deposits. Non-current assets were 46,735 million yen, which was 4,739 million yen lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a 2,193 million yen decrease in goodwill and a 2,100 million yen decrease in deferred tax assets.
    As a result, total assets posted 241,277 million yen, which was 6,190 million yen higher than at the end of the previous fiscal year.
    (Liabilities)
    Current liabilities at the end of the period under review were 162,290 million yen, which was 13,816 million yen higher than at the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a 9,000 million yen increase in current portion of long-term borrowings and a 11,825 million yen increase in card deposits. Non-current liabilities at the end of the period under review were 8,503 million yen, which was 12,822 million yen lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a 12,751 million yen decrease in long-term borrowings.
    As a result, total liabilities posted 170,794 million yen, which was 994 million yen higher than at the end of the previous fiscal year.
    (Net assets)
    Total net assets at the end of the period under review were 70,483 million yen, which was 6,456 million yen higher than at the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to 10,579 million yen recognized in profit attributable to owners of parent and 4,181 million yen in payment of dividends of surplus.
    As a result, the equity ratio was 29.2% (27.4% at the end of the previous fiscal year).
