1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Financial Results
(1) Explanation of Operating Results
As for the operating results of Gala Inc. (the "Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group"), the Group's net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 have significantly increased to 701,658 thousand yen (584.1% increase year-on-year).
The year-on-year sales increase was mainly due to the launch of "Flyff Universe", an HTML5 game. Cost of sales has increased due to an increase in channeling fees paid in relation to the HTML5 game
business and the Online game business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased year-on-year due to an increase in value- added tax resulting from sales growth and an increase in software amortization expenses.
As a result, the Group achieved a positive operating profit, ordinary profit and a profit attributable to owners of parent, recording an operating profit of 136,267 thousand yen (operating loss of 145,642 thousand yen in the previous first quarter), an ordinary profit of 88,886 thousand yen (ordinary loss of 180,036 thousand yen in the previous first quarter), and a profit attributable to owners of parent of 99,988 thousand yen (loss attributable to owners of parent of 172,041 thousand yen in the previous first quarter).
The Group's operating results by each segment are summarized as follows:
1) Japan
In October 2021, the Japan segment started offering "Rappelz", a smartphone game app developed by Gala Lab Corp., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, in the US and Canada, although the release date had been delayed since its development period was extended to improve the quality of the game and achieve other enhancements. The segment is currently preparing for the renewal and global release of "Rappelz" as an NFT game/blockchain game (*1) by incorporating blockchain technology. In the NFT games/blockchain games, in-game items are "converted to NFT (*3)" by the blockchain (*2), a fundamental technology of crypto assets, and users can change the items obtained in the game to crypto assets that can be traded on an exchange or other markets. The segment will further enhance the appeal of games through these measures and focus on the monetization of the Smartphone app business. The start of the service is expected to be in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2023 for re-release in the US and the third quarter of the same fiscal year for release in the EU and Korea.
The Group has also launched the Treehouse resort business as a new business since Treeful Inc. has become a subsidiary of the Company in the previous fiscal year. The Treehouse resort business is a resort business in Nago City, Okinawa operated by Treeful Inc., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The business offers a combination of Treehouse and Aerohouse built on the ground as one set to the guests. Treeful Inc. is licensed for the business of operation of an inn according to the Hotel Business Act since July 2021 and opened the Treehouse Resort in August 2021 as the first paid treehouse accommodation provider in Japan.
With the concept of a "Sustainable Resort", the Treehouse Resort aims the establishment of a sustainable society by using electricity instead of fossil fuel and generating solar power larger than actual usage. The Group has found a growth strategy for the Treehouse resort business and aims to increase its enterprise value.
Net sales of the segment (including inter-segment transactions) increased year-on-year mainly due to sales from the aforementioned Treehouse resort business.
As for the expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to increases in allowance for doubtful accounts and outsourcing expenses.
As a result, net sales of the Japan segment (including inter-segment transactions) increased by 10,324 thousand yen or 86.7% year-on-year to 22,239 thousand yen and the segment recorded a loss of 60,146 thousand yen (loss of 36,818 thousand yen in the previous first quarter).
2) Korea
The Korea segment started offering an HTML5 game "Fliff Universe" in Southeast Asia in May 2022 and in the global area in June 2022. HTML5 games are highly accessible games that enable users to play the games on PCs and smartphones without downloading. The net sales of the HTML5 game "Fliff Universe" for the three months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to 502,592 thousand yen, achieving 840
