Reason for differences between non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal years ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2021

The volume of cargo was low, especially for apparel, mainly because people stayed home for safety. However, the volume of household goods remained firm. To receive more orders, there were many activities for the use of online sales meetings and implementation of the digital transformation. Service menu expansion and upgrades also contributed to more effective sales activities. In addition, operating revenue benefited from a significant increase in sea freight rates.

Results of operations also reflected measures to reduce the cost of sales, such as by ending the outsourcing of some customs clearance activities. There were also measures involving selling, general and administrative expenses to aim for higher earnings, including measures to hold down personnel expenses and minimize outsourcing expenses.

For these reasons, operating revenue, operating profit, ordinary profit and profit were all higher than in the previous fiscal year.

The current financial report is not subject to audit by certified public accountants or auditing firms.

AIT CORPORATION (9381) Financial Results for FY2/21

1. Overview of Results of Operations

(1) Results of Operations

During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, the business climate was challenging in Japan because of a rapid economic downturn caused by restrictions on economic activity due to the COVID-19 crisis. After the end of Japan's state of emergency in May 2020, economic activity slowly resumed along with measures to prevent the spread of infections. Although manufacturing and consumer spending started to recover, the economic outlook is still uncertain because it is still impossible to predict when this crisis will end.

The business climate for operations of the AIT Group was affected by COVID-19 in the fiscal year's first quarter as China extended the Spring Festival holiday and the movement of cargo in China temporarily stopped. In Japan, there was a big decline in economic activity because of the declaration of a state of emergency and other factors. Concerns about a further downturn in consumer spending increased as a result.

To continue business operations in this challenging environment, the AIT Group is using teleworking as well as online meetings for sales and other purposes. The current priority is receiving orders involving shipments of goods by sea from China and Southeast Asia to Japan. There are also many sales activities to receive orders for services associated with imports and exports, such as customs clearance, delivery, inspections, needle detection and processing.

During the fiscal year, consumer spending in Japan plummeted because of severe limitations on the ability to go out due to the COVID-19 crisis. Most significantly, this caused a decline in the volume of apparel shipments handled thorough the fiscal year by the AIT Group, primarily for current customers. On the other hand, the big increase in the amount of time people spend at home resulted in consistently high volume of cargo for products required for household activities, such as household and other miscellaneous products, home appliances, and other products. The higher volume of household goods offset the decline in the apparel category.

Beginning in the fiscal year's third quarter, there has been a global shortage of shipping containers due to the recovery of international cargo shipping demand. The resulting significant increase in freight rates, including on some of the routes served by the AIT Group, was one reason for higher earnings. Earnings also benefited from steps to hold down personnel expenses and reexamine other expenses as well as from a reduction in expenses for sales activities resulting from telework and other reasons.

Operating revenue increased 1.8% year-on-year to 45,797 million yen, and earnings were significantly higher at all levels mainly due to measures to hold down selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, operating profit was up 46.3% to 2,304 million yen, ordinary profit was up 30.7% to 2,545 million yen and profit attributable to owners of parent increased 30.7% to 1,732 million yen.

Results by business segment are as follows.

In Other, which is not a reportable segment, U.S. subsidiary AIT International of America, Inc. terminated its operations on February 29, 2020 and completed its liquidation on March 16, 2021. This company is included in the consolidated financial statements because liquidation had not been completed as of February 28, 2021.

1) Japan

The volume of cargo was low, especially for apparel, mainly because people stayed home for safety. To receive more orders, there were many activities for the use of online sales meetings and implementation of the digital transformation. One example is the use of the digital transformation to start offering a service that uses the cloud for every import processing step from customs clearance requests to issuing invoices.

Due to these activities, the number of containers handled in the sea freight sector increased 3.3% from one year earlier to 260,249 TEU for imports and the total for imports and exports was about the same, increasing 2.3% to 274,170 TEU. Customs clearance orders decreased 3.9% to 140,317 as the volume of apparel was low.

As a result, operating revenue increased 4.3% to 36,961 million yen. Segment profit increased 49.9% to 1,607 million yen mainly because of measures to hold down personnel expenses and expenses for sales activities.

AIT CORPORATION (9381) Financial Results for FY2/21

2) China

New orders for cargo shipments and associated services such as merchandise inspections and needle detection decreased temporarily because of the extension of the Spring Festival holiday and other responses by the Chinese government due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, operating revenue involving associated services was down because of the low volume of apparel shipments. Opportunities to earn profits in China declined as a result.

Following the Spring Festival holiday, factories slowly began to restart operations in all areas of China and cargo shipments resumed. However, operating revenue was down 9.3% from one year earlier to 7,650 million yen because of the big decline in profit opportunities in February 2020. Segment profit increased 50.9% to 619 million yen because of measures to hold down personnel expenses and expenses for business operations.

3) Other

The liquidation of a U.S. subsidiary and lower revenue at the Myanmar subsidiary because of COVID-19 had a negative effect on the performance of this segment. However, operating revenue increased 5.0% to 1,184 million yen because of the stable earnings of subsidiaries in Taiwan and Vietnam. Segment profit decreased 16.2% to 77 million yen because of expenses for sales activities.

Note: TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) is a unit of cargo capacity based on a standard intermodal container.

  1. Financial Position Assets

Total assets increased 986 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 21,630 million yen at the end of the fiscal year under review.

Current assets increased 1,400 million yen to 16,853 million yen. This was mainly due to increases in notes and accounts receivable-trade of 1,497 million yen and advances paid of 477 million yen, which were partially offset by a decrease in cash and deposits of 317 million yen.

Non-current assets decreased 414 million yen to 4,777 million yen. This was mainly due to decreases in customer-related assets of 263 million yen, investment securities of 147 million yen and goodwill of 108 million yen.

Liabilities

Total liabilities increased 470 million yen to 9,399 million yen.

Current liabilities increased 373 million yen to 7,764 million yen. This was mainly due to increases in current portion of long-term borrowings of 3,700 million yen, accounts payable-trade of 631 million yen, income taxes payable of 183 million yen and provision for bonuses of 101 million yen, which were partially offset by a decrease in short-term borrowings of 4,347 million yen.

Non-current liabilities increased 97 million yen to 1,634 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase in retirement benefit liability of 49 million yen.

Net assets

Net assets increased 516 million yen to 12,231 million yen. This was mainly due to a booking of profit attributable to owners of parent of 1,732 million yen, dividends distributed from retained earnings of 852 million yen, a 247 million yen decrease due to purchase of treasury shares and a 164 million yen decrease in non-controlling interests.

(3) Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter "net cash") at the end of the fiscal year under review were 10,052 million yen, down 760 million yen over the end of the previous fiscal year.

The cash flow components and the main reasons for changes are as described below.

3

AIT CORPORATION (9381) Financial Results for FY2/21

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was 1,521 million yen, a decrease of 697 million yen from the previous fiscal year. Although there were negative factors including an increase in trade receivables of 1,495 million yen, income taxes paid of 726 million yen, an increase in advances paid of 477 million yen, and share of profit of entities accounted for using equity method of 166 million yen, there were positive factors including profit before income taxes of 2,546 million yen, an increase in trade payables of 627 million yen, depreciation of 506 million yen, interest and dividends received of 282 million yen, amortization of goodwill of 108 million yen, and an increase in provision for bonuses of 101 million yen.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was 300 million yen, an increase of 140 million yen from the previous fiscal year. Although there were positive factors including proceeds from withdrawal of time deposits of 949 million yen and proceeds from sales of investment securities of 138 million yen, there were negative factors including payments into time deposits of 1,390 million yen.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was 1,987 million yen, an increase of 1,499 million yen from the previous fiscal year. Although there were positive factors including proceeds from long-term borrowings of 3,700 million yen and short-term borrowings of 95 million yen, there were negative factors including repayments of short-term borrowings of 4,443 million yen, cash dividends paid of 859 million yen and purchase of treasury shares of 247 million yen.

    3. Interest-bearingdebt includes all debt on the consolidated balance sheet that incur interest. Interest payments use the amount of interest expenses paid on the consolidated statement of cash flows.
  1. Outlook

Although the economy is expected to recover slowly because of progress with vaccines for preventing COVID-19 infections, the outlook will probably remain uncertain because it is still impossible to predict when the COVID-19 crisis will end.

Customers' needs involving logistics are expected to become even more diverse because of the changes in life styles and in the values of consumers caused by the COVID-19 crisis.

Our goals are to use all of the AIT Group's resources to add new customers and enlarge relationships with current customers. Activities to accomplish these goals will emphasize the group's ability to provide integrated services encompassing the core international freight forwarding business, customs clearance, delivery and numerous services associated with imports and exports. Associated services include merchandise inspections, needle detection and distribution processing. Other priorities are reinforcing and expanding our global logistics infrastructure by working even more closely with our subsidiaries in China and Southeast Asia and our agents

worldwide and continuing to capture orders for cargo transportation that does not involve Japan.

AIT is using the digital transformation in order to adapt to the rapid changes taking place in the business climate. One step was the September 2020 launch of an integrated cloud service for import procedures and services. We plan to make more progress with our digital strategy in order to provide logistics services that reflect the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis while providing convenience and efficiency from our customers' perspective as well as cutting costs.

AIT has an equity and business alliance with Hitachi Transport System, Ltd. To create the greatest possible synergies, AIT and Hitachi Transport System will share their service networks, expertise and other resources. Furthermore, we plan to make this relationship even stronger in order to provide services that meet customers' needs with speed and accuracy by cooperating at an even higher level in the fields of forwarding and third-party logistics.

Sea freight rates have increased significantly because of the global shortage of shipping containers and are remaining high. The container shortage is a problem on some of the routes served by the AIT Group and it is impossible to predict when this shortage will end. We expect this situation to continue for some time and believe there will be a positive effect on our revenue and earnings.

Based on this outlook, we expect operating revenue, operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent to rise by 6.3%, 7.2%, 4.9% and 2.8% year-on-year to 48,700 million yen, 2,470 million yen, 2,670 million yen, and 1,780 million yen, respectively.

2. Basic Approach to the Selection of Accounting Standards

The AIT Group will continue to prepare consolidated financial statements using the generally accepted accounting principles in Japan for the time being to permit comparisons with prior years and with the financial data of other companies.

We will take suitable actions with regard to the application of International Financial Reporting Standards by taking into account associated factors in Japan and other countries.

  1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Going Concern Assumption
    Not applicable.

Changes in the Scope of Consolidation or Application of the Equity Method

Important changes in the scope of consolidation

In FY2/21, consolidated subsidiary Nisshin Trans Consolidator Co., Ltd. merged with consolidated subsidiary Nisshin Transportation Co., Ltd., which is the surviving company. Following the merger, Nisshin Trans Consolidator was dissolved and excluded from the scope of consolidation. One other company was liquidated and excluded from the scope of consolidation.

Reclassifications

Consolidated Balance Sheet

Leased assets, net, included in other, net under property, plant and equipment in the previous fiscal year, is presented as a separate line item due to an increase in its monetary materiality. To conform to this change, the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year are restated.

As a result, 97,457 thousand yen of other, net under property, plant and equipment in the previous fiscal year's consolidated balance sheet is reclassified as 14,543 thousand yen of leased assets, net and 82,914 thousand yen of other.

Additional Information

Although the timing of the end of the COVID-19 crisis cannot be predicted, this crisis has had only a limited impact on the AIT Group's business activities and management believes there is no need for any significant revisions to factors used for accounting estimates. Currently, accounting estimates for the recoverability of deferred tax assets, goodwill valuation and other items are based on the assumption that factors used to determine these estimates will remain the same as during normal business operations.

However, due to the many uncertainties about the upcoming effects of the COVID-19 crisis, there may be a significant impact on the AIT Group's financial position and results of operations.

Segment and Other Information

Segment Information

1. Overview of reportable segments Determination of reportable segments

Segments used for financial reporting are the AIT Group's constituent units for which separate financial information is available and for which Board of Directors, the highest management decision-making body, performs periodic studies for the purposes of determining the allocation of resources and evaluating performance.

AIT and its consolidated subsidiaries operate the international freight forwarding business as well as associated business activities and other activities. AIT and domestic subsidiaries, primarily in Japan, and subsidiaries in China (including Hong Kong) are each managed independently. Each of these three units establishes comprehensive strategies and conducts business activities in its own region.

Consequently, AIT and its consolidated subsidiaries consist of two reportable geographic segments that have their own sales, order receipt and logistics frameworks: Japan and China.

2. Calculation method for revenue, profit or loss, assets, and other items for each reportable segment

The accounting method used for reportable business segments are generally the same as those described in "Significant Accounting Policies in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements." Segment profit for reportable business segments are based on operating profit.

Inter-segment revenue is based on prices used for third-party transactions.
