T-Gaia Corporation (3738) / Consolidated Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2022 (Three Months Ended June 30, 2021) (Based on J-GAAP)

1. Qualitative Information Concerning the First Quarter Financial Results

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 first quarter 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 same period of the previous fiscal year and with the previous fiscal year and analyzes the data using the figures after applying the accounting standard and relevant revised ASBJ regulations.

  1. Explanation of operating performance
    In the period under review (April to June 2021), the Japanese economy continued to face difficult conditions due to the impact from

the spread of the COVID-19 infection. It is necessary to continue to take into consideration the downside risk that infection trends are posing in the domestic and overseas economies and the fluctuations in 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. The market is also being energized by each telecommunications carrier reducing telecommunication fees, etc. On the other hand, the provision of online-only plans for services started in March 2021, which has caused a dramatic change to the role of shops and the competitive environment.

Under this business environment, the Group's unit sales of mobile handsets, etc. (below, "unit sales") during the period under review jumped significantly from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 1,020,000. The shortening of operating hours and suspension of operation at carrier shops due to the first declaration of the state of emergency, and the measures taken to limit services available at shops in the first three months of the previous fiscal year (April to June 2020), and the increase in the number of shops by making TF Mobile Solutions Corporation (below, "TFM") a subsidiary in November 2020 (and later absorbing it through an absorption-type merger in February 2021) contributed to increasing the unit sales.

As a result, consolidated business results for the period under review marked net sales of 111,173 million yen (+45.7% compared with the year-earlier period), with operating profit of 3,199 million yen (+39.2%). However, as a result of a significant year-on-year decrease in the recognized amount of income from hoarded cards, ordinary profit marked 4,876 million yen (-3.2%) and profit attributable to owners of parent posted 3,224 million yen (-5.1%).

Results by business segment for the period under review are described below.

[Consumer Mobile Business Segment]

In Consumer Mobile Business Segment, unit sales jumped considerably year on year due to the reasons mentioned above. In addition, efforts were continued to realize synergies from the integration with the former TFM shops.

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.

Due to the state of emergency declared in April 2021 in response to the resurgence in infections, shops located in large retail complexes, etc. were subject to partial suspension of operation, but the effect on the Company's business results was slight.

As a result, net sales marked 95,095 million yen (+54.7% compared with the year-earlier period), with profit attributable to owners of parent of 1,723 million yen (+78.8%).

[Enterprise Solutions Business Segment]

In mobile solutions for enterprise clients' business, there are not only active investments in ICT as part of reforms in working styles, but also a wide-spread purchasing of smart devices as a result of the shift to telework due to the impact of COVID-19. Due to the impact of the inclusion of the corporate sales channel of the former TFM, sales units jumped considerably year on year. 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.

On the other hand, delays were experienced regarding the delivery of some products that had been ordered due to a global supply shortage of semiconductors, etc.

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 focused 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.

T-Gaia Corporation (3738) / Consolidated Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2022 (Three Months Ended June 30, 2021) (Based on J-GAAP)

As a result, net sales marked 8,546 million yen (+18.7% compared with the year-earlier period), with profit attributable to owners of parent of 378 million yen (-24.9%).

[Payment Service Business and Other Business Segment]

In Payment Service Business and Other Business Segment, the transaction volume in PIN and gift cards was down compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, which was characterized by special demand from the nationwide voluntary lockdown during the first declaration of the state of emergency in April 2020. The demand for a variety of digital content, including games, music, and video streaming, has continued to be strong.

Sales in the wholesale of smartphone accessories mainly to convenience stores were robust due to the expansion of sales channels and the broadening of the merchandise lineup. On the other hand, one-time costs were recorded in relation to measures to address 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. Regarding the latter, in April 2021, we formed a capital and business alliance with JCG Co., Ltd., which provides an online competition platform for e-Sports.

QUO CARD Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary, is steadily expanding the number of member stores which accept QUO Card and QUO Card Pay, and it achieved a year-on-year increase in the amount of issuance. However, as mentioned above, the income from hoarded cards decreased significantly compared to the same month last year.

As a result, net sales marked 7,531 million yen (-1.1% compared with the year-earlier period), with profit attributable to owners of parent of 1,122 million yen (-41.9%).

  1. Explanation of financial position (Assets)
    Current assets at the end of the period under review were 179,524 million yen, which was 4,088 million yen lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a 9,516 million yen decrease in notes and accounts receivable - trade and a 4,770 million yen increase in guarantee deposits reflecting a rise in statutory cash deposits. Non-current assets at the end of the period under review were 48,457 million yen, which was 1,757 million yen lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a 1,129 million yen decrease in deferred tax assets.
    As a result, total assets posted 227,981 million yen, which was 5,845 million yen lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year.
    (Liabilities)
    Current liabilities at the end of the period under review were 151,539 million yen, which was 3,064 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, a 1,948 million yen decrease in accounts payable - trade, and a 2,859 million yen decrease in accounts payable - other. Non-current liabilities at the end of the period under review were 11,283 million yen, which was 10,042 million yen lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a 9,937 million yen decrease in long-term borrowings.
    As a result, total liabilities posted 162,822 million yen, which was 6,978 million yen lower than at the end of the previous fiscal year.
    (Net assets)
    Net assets at the end of the period under review were 65,158 million yen, which was 1,132 million yen higher than at the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a 3,224 million yen recognized in profit attributable to owners of parent and a 2,090 million yen in payment of dividends of surplus.
  2. Explanation of forward-looking information including the consolidated financial forecasts

There is no change to the full - year consolidated financial forecasts announced on May 7, 2021.

Three months (April to June 2021) net sales represent 24.5% of the full-year estimate, with percentages for operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent at 23.9%, 26.5%, and 26.9%, respectively.
