1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance

(1) Explanation of Results of Operations

In the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 (the "period under review"), although some signs of recovery were observed, the economy still remained grim, and the employment situation was weak due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19"). While we can expect the recovery thanks primarily to the effects of various governmental policies and the gradual raising of the level of social and economic activities with measures taken to prevent the spread of the infection, the impact of further spread of COVID-19 on domestic and overseas economies needs to be carefully monitored given the current situation represented by the redeclaration of a state of emergency in January 2021.

The Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") limited the impact of the COVID-19 infection thanks to our business portfolio focusing on several specific categories in less fluctuating business domains.

In Japan, the state of emergency was lifted in late May 2020 and the economy has gradually restarted with infection prevention measures. The sales outsourcing and factory outsourcing sectors were impacted by the spread of COVID-19, but the other sectors remained solid.

Outside Japan, Singapore and Australia, where we have our main presence, have currently managed to contain the spread of the COVID-19 infection and are gradually returning to the normal even though their economic resumption lagged behind that of Japan. Given such circumstance, temporary staffing services performed strong thanks to stable demand.

Additionally, we strived to secure profit primarily by reviewing new investment plans and headquarters cost, in addition to the recording of employment support subsidy income as a countermeasure against COVID-19 both inside and outside Japan.

As a result, for the period under review, the Company reported consolidated revenue of 88,139 million yen (down 4.0% year on year), operating profit of 3,244 million yen (down 2.6%), profit before tax of 3,044 million yen (down 6.5%), profit of 2,156 million yen (up 4.3%) and profit attributable to owners of parent of 1,878 million yen (up 4.4%). EBITDA (operating profit + depreciation and amortization) was 4,805 million yen (up 1.4%).

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 sales outsourcing sector except for the telecommunications subsector 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 strongly despite the slow recovery of recruitment. Each sector focused on developing new clients for new services including a service to perform proxy marketing and a contact center service by the staff all working from home, anticipating a phase with and post COVID-19.

For the period under review, earnings declined due to decreased revenue in the sales outsourcing and factory outsourcing sectors.

As a result, the segment recorded external revenue of 59,897 million yen (down 5.4% year on year) and segment profit of 3,218 million yen (down 15.5%).

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. While permanent placement business was suffering lower demand, impacted by the economic downturn and sluggish corporate activities in Australia and Singapore, the demand is showing a sign of recovery thanks to current successful result in containing the spread of infection.

For the period under review, earnings for this business segment increased as decreased revenue from permanent placement services were overcome by the increased revenue from temporary staffing services, fixed cost review and the recording of employment support subsidy income as a countermeasure against COVID-19 in Singapore.

As a result, the segment recorded external revenue of 27,270 million yen (down 0.3% year on year) and segment profit of 888 million yen (up 20.0%).

3) Others

In the other businesses, we made efforts on expanding HRTech solutions to grow non-labor-intensive 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 in the first quarter.

For the period under review, this business segment posted a profit on the back of the expansion of the existing businesses and a partial sale of shares owned by our investment funds, despite continued upfront investments in the HRTech field. However, our accounting method reports a gain on sales of shares as an item of other comprehensive income, which is offset by IFRS adjustments.

As a result, the segment recorded external revenue of 1,789 million yen (up 66.0% year on year) and segment loss of 35 million yen (compared with segment loss of 300 million yen a year earlier).

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

1) Assets, liabilities and equity

Assets

Current assets at the end of the period under review amounted to 21,878 million yen, down 162 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to a decrease in trade and other receivables of 1,133 million yen, which was partially offset by increases in cash and cash equivalents of 528 million yen and other financial assets of 359 million yen.

Non-current assets amounted to 22,302 million yen at the end of the period under review, down 256 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to decreases in right-of-use assets of 1,142 million yen, other financial assets of 222 million yen, property, plant and equipment of 147 million yen, and other non-current assets of 134 million yen, which were partially offset by increases in investments accounted for using equity method of 675 million yen, other intangible assets of 484 million yen and goodwill of 260 million yen.

As a result, total assets decreased 419 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 44,180 million yen.

Liabilities

Current liabilities at the end of the period under review amounted to 23,111 million yen, up 1,544 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to increases in other financial liabilities of 1,624 million yen and trade and other payables of 714 million yen, which were partially offset by a decrease in income taxes payable of 784 million yen.

Non-current liabilities amounted to 11,882 million yen at the end of the period under review, down 4,027 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to decreases in other financial liabilities of 2,088 million yen and borrowings of 1,927 million yen.

As a result, total liabilities decreased 2,482 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 34,993 million yen.

Equity

Total equity at the end of the period under review amounted to 9,187 million yen, up 2,063 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is primarily due to increases in retained earnings of 1,595 million yen and exchange differences on translation of foreign operations included in other components of equity of 904 million yen, which were partially offset by decreases in non-controlling interests of 213 million yen and purchase of treasury shares of 189 million yen.

As a result, the ratio of equity attributable to owners of parent to total assets increased from 11.7% at the end of the previous fiscal year to 17.0%. It is noted that 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 23.8%. The ratio is adjusted by netting out the one-time effect of unrealized written put options of 3,015 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 6,472 million yen, up 528 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 4,609 million yen, compared with 3,451 million yen provided in the same period a year earlier. This is primarily due to booking of profit before tax of 3,044 million yen, a decrease in trade receivables of 2,227 million yen, depreciation and amortization of 1,560 million yen, and an increase in trade payables of 630 million yen, which were partially offset by income taxes paid of 1,756 million yen, and payments for operating activities and other transactions of 1,102 million yen.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was 639 million yen, compared with 2,915 million yen used in the same period a year earlier. This is primarily due to purchases of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets of 462 million yen and purchase of investments accounted for using equity method of 350 million yen, which were partially offset by proceeds from investing activities and other transactions of 167 million yen.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was 3,568 million yen, compared with 2,592 million yen used in the same period a year earlier. This is primarily due to repayments of long-term borrowings of 2,310 million yen, repayments of lease obligations of 958 million yen, purchase of investments in subsidiaries not resulting in change in scope of consolidation of 798 million yen, and dividends paid of 510 million yen, which were partially offset by proceeds from government grants of 1,054 million yen.

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

There are no revisions to the consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, which was announced on November 9, 2020.

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

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.

In addition to the above, human resources service in the HRTech field and apartment housing (TECH RESIDENCE) service for IT engineers and creators are included in the "Others" segment.

(3) 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.
