WILL GROUP, INC. (6089) Financial Results for the First Quarter of FY3/21

1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance

(1) Explanation of Results of Operations

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 (the "period under review"), the Japanese economy, amid a sharp economic slowdown in each country caused by the worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19"), remained grim after the state of emergency declared by the government severely stagnated economic activities. The outlook is expected to show a sign of recovery partly due to various governmental policies as the level of social and economic activities is gradually being raised with infection prevention measures. However, the impact of COVID-19 on domestic and overseas economies needs to be carefully monitored.

The Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") are guided by the mission of serving as an agent of change to bring about positive changes to both individuals and organizations. By upgrading specialized skills in all our businesses, we have sought to improve customer satisfaction and further differentiate our services. One goal is to raise our in-store share, which is our temporary staffing and consignment workers as a percentage of all these workers at a client company.

In Japan, the state of emergency was lifted in late May and the economy has gradually restarted with infection prevention measures. The factory outsourcing sector was impacted mainly by reduced production, but the other sectors remained solid. Outside Japan, temporary staffing services performed strong thanks to stable demand, even though economic resumption is slower in Singapore and Australia where we have our main presence than in Japan. Additionally, we strived to secure profit primarily by reviewing new investment plans and headquarters cost.

As a result, for the period under review, the Company reported consolidated revenue of 28,635 million yen (down 2.5% year on year), operating profit of 989 million yen (down 7.0%), profit before tax of 977 million yen (down 5.6%), profit of 741 million yen (up 8.4%) and profit attributable to owners of parent of 632 million yen (up 0.6%). EBITDA (operating profit + depreciation and amortization) was 1,513 million yen (up 0.6%).

Results by operating segment were as follows.

As a result of examining our business portfolio management to enhance corporate strategies, we have realigned the previous reportable segment classification consisting of six segments: Sales Outsourcing Business, Call Center Outsourcing Business, Factory Outsourcing Business, Care Support Business, Overseas Human Resources Business, and HR Support Business for Startups developed by for Startups, Inc. The new segment classification effective from the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 consists of two segments only: Domestic WORK Business and Overseas WORK Business. Accordingly, prior-year segment information has been revised to reflect the new segment classification to permit comparisons.

1) Domestic WORK Business

The Domestic WORK Business offers temporary staffing, permanent placement and consignment services in Japan specifically for sectors such as sales outsourcing, call center outsourcing, factory outsourcing and care support/nursery schools. The apparel sector in the sales outsourcing sector and the factory outsourcing sector saw decreased demand due to the impact of COVID-19. However, the sectors such as call center outsourcing and care support/nursery schools enjoyed solid demand and grew steadily. The call center outsourcing sector has started new services including "ZaITact," a contact center service by the staff all working from home, anticipating a phase of coexistence with the coronavirus.

For the period under review, earnings declined due to decreased sales and gross profit caused by increased paid leave of the staff and furlough payments.

As a result, the segment recorded external revenue of 19,782 million yen (down 1.0% year on year) and segment profit of 974 million yen (down 10.7%).

2) Overseas WORK Business

In the human resources service, that operates in the ASEAN and Oceania regions, temporary staffing business remained stable mainly for the public sector, engineering, finance services and legal services despite the spread of COVID-19. However, permanent placement business suffered lower demand, impacted by the economic downturn in Australia and Singapore and sluggish corporate activities.

2

WILL GROUP, INC. (6089) Financial Results for the First Quarter of FY3/21

For the period under review, earnings for this business segment decreased because the sales from permanent placement service declined, despite the recording of employment support subsidy income as a countermeasure against COVID-19 in Singapore.

As a result, the segment recorded external revenue of 8,457 million yen (down 7.0% year on year) and segment profit of 232 million yen (down 18.2%).

3) Others

In the other services, we made efforts on expanding HRTech solutions to break away from labor-intensivesteady-revenue businesses and enhance the development of new platforms such as "Hourmane," a working time management system for foreign workers; "Daywak," an app to find a part-time job using free time; and "ENPORT," a foreign worker support service. Additionally, we sold Tech Residence, an apartment building for IT engineers and creators.

For the period under review, this business segment posted a loss on the back of upfront investments in the HRTech field, despite expansion of the existing businesses.

As a result, the segment recorded external revenue of 885 million yen (up 205.3% year on year) and segment loss of 98 million yen (compared with segment loss of 84 million yen a year earlier).

  1. Explanation of Financial Position 1) Assets, liabilities and equity Assets

Current assets at the end of the period under review amounted to 22,120 million yen, up 79 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of 873 million yen, which was partially offset by a decrease in trade and other receivables of 814 million yen.

Non-current assets amounted to 22,844 million yen at the end of the period under review, up 285 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to increases in other intangible assets of 316 million yen and goodwill of 211 million yen, which were partially offset by decreases in right-of-use assets of 124 million yen and other non-current assets of 113 million yen.

As a result, total assets increased 364 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 44,964 million yen.

Liabilities

Current liabilities at the end of the period under review amounted to 22,787 million yen, up 1,220 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to an increase in other financial liabilities of 2,034 million yen, which was partially offset by a decrease in income taxes payable of 670 million yen.

Non-current liabilities amounted to 14,444 million yen at the end of the period under review, down 1,464 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to decreases in other financial liabilities of 980 million yen and borrowings of 537 million yen.

As a result, total liabilities decreased 243 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 37,232 million yen.

Equity

Total equity at the end of the period under review amounted to 7,732 million yen, up 608 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to increases in exchange differences on translation of foreign operations included in other components of equity of 569 million yen and retained earnings of 121 million yen, which were partially offset by a decrease in capital surplus of 207 million yen.

As a result, the adjusted ratio of equity attributable to owners of parent to total assets increased from 19.3% at the end of the previous fiscal year to 20.9%. The ratio is adjusted by netting out the one-time effect of unrealized written put options of 3,612 million yen (compared with 3,377 million yen at the end of the previous fiscal year).

2) Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents ("net cash") at the end of the period under review amounted to 6,818 million yen, up 873 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. The status of each component of cash flows for the period under review and factors of changes therein are as follows.

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was 1,292 million yen, compared with 831 million yen provided in the same period a year earlier. This is primarily due to a decrease in trade receivables of 1,291 million yen, booking of profit before tax of 977 million yen, and depreciation and amortization of 524 million yen, which were partially offset by income taxes paid of 853 million yen.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was 323 million yen, compared with 1,794 million yen used in the same period a year earlier. This is primarily due to proceeds from investing activities and other transactions of 486 million yen, which were partially offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of 176 million yen.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was 854 million yen, compared with 479 million yen provided in the same period a year earlier. This is primarily due to repayments of long-term borrowings of 764 million yen, cash dividends paid of 490 million yen, and repayments of lease obligations of 316 million yen, which were partially offset by proceeds from financing activities and other transactions of 529 million yen and proceeds from long-term borrowings of 200 million yen.

(3) Explanation of Consolidated Forecast and Other Forward-looking Statements

We have revised the consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, as announced in "Notice of Revision to Consolidated Earnings Forecast and Dividend Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2021" (Japanese version only), which has been released today on August 7, 2020.

Forecasts are based on information currently available to the Company. Actual performance may differ from these forecasts for a number of reasons.

Segment and Other Information

(1) Overview of reportable segments

The Group's operating segments are components of the Group that are categorized by type of services provided. The Group determines reportable segments based on the operating segments for which discrete financial information is available and the Group's chief operating decision maker regularly reviews to make decisions about allocation of management resources and assess their performance. As a result, the two reportable segments are identified with the details described as follows.

ASEAN and Oceania regions.

  1. Change in reportable segments

As a result of examining our business portfolio management to enhance corporate strategies, we have realigned the previous reportable segment classification consisting of six segments: Sales Outsourcing Business, Call Center Outsourcing Business, Factory Outsourcing Business, Care Support Business, Overseas Human Resources Business, and HR Support Business for Startups developed by for Startups, Inc. The new segment classification effective from the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 consists of two segments only: Domestic WORK Business and Overseas WORK Business.

Accordingly, prior-year segment information has been revised to reflect the new segment classification to permit comparisons.
