1. Qualitative Information on Financial Results for the Period under Review

1. Explanation of operating results
   During the three months ended June 30, 2022, amid a trend of decline in the number of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases, the Japanese economy experienced a nationwide move to reopen economic activities with the easing of COVID-19-related restrictions. However, the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which started in February 2022, led to a global surge in raw materials prices and resulted in broad-based price increases. In the foreign exchange market, import costs increased with the progressing sharp deterioration in the Japanese yen, and the approximately two- month-long lockdown in the global trading port of Shanghai starting at the end of March had a large impact on the supply chain. As such, the future of the economy remains uncertain overall.
   Amid these conditions, in the first quarter (April to June), the Group saw a move toward recovery in private consumption with more opportunities to leave home as no state of emergency declarations, etc. were issued. Outdoor-related products offered by THE NORTH FACE and other brands enjoyed strong sales of lifestyle wear for kids, ladies, etc. in addition to high-performance wear. With solid growth in a wide range of goods-related products such as backpacks and shoes, net sales were ¥21,099 million (up 23.5% from the previous year), a record for the highest net sales ever in the first quarter.
   In terms of operating profit, as described above, factors of increase in selling, general and administrative expenses such as rising manufacturing costs and distribution costs began to impact a wide range of products. Amid these conditions, in terms of procurement, as we have built long-standing relationships over many years in joint development with materials manufacturers, we concluded long- term agreements for many of our mainstay materials, working to minimize the impact on prices for spring and summer goods. Furthermore, in terms of production, for our annual mainstay products centered on outdoor wear, we worked to reduce manufacturing costs through planning and production that took advantage of the off season. The Shanghai lockdown led to an increase in distribution costs due to the airborne shipping of certain goods. However, as we had already received shipments to Japan for many spring and summer goods prior to the lockdown, the increase in our distribution costs was limited. As a result, our gross profit margin improved by 0.1 percentage points year-on-year to 52.7%, absorbing the increase in expenses and leading operating profit to rise by 99.6% year-on-year to ¥2,266 million and setting an all-time record for the first quarter. In this way, even during unpredictable conditions, our actual demand-oriented business model that we have worked for many years to develop with materials manufacturers, wholesalers, etc. demonstrated its strength in facilitating a "chain of value" from the procurement of raw materials all the way to sales to our customers.
   Ordinary profit was ¥3,368 million (up 98.5% year on year), mainly due to the strong performance of YOUNGONE OUTDOOR Corporation, an equity-method affiliate in South Korea, in addition to an increase in operating profit.
   Profit attributable to owners of parent also reached ¥2,603 million (up 110.8% year on year) thanks to the success of the above efforts, and both ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of parent reached new record highs for the first quarter.
   Furthermore, during the approximately one month from April 23, 2022 through May 29, 2022 in the first quarter, we ran the PLAY EARTH PARK event at Roppongi's Tokyo Midtown on the theme of enjoying the earth and having formative sports experiences. At this event, we installed playground equipment designed with the collaboration of architects. PLAY EARTH PARK saw more than 34,000 visitors, succeeding in realizing the concept of PLAY EARTH put forth in our Medium-Term Management Plan. We moved the playground equipment used in the PLAY EARTH PARK event to Toyama Prefecture, the region where the Company was founded, and hold events at Fugan Unga Kansui Park and the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art and Design from July 23, 2022 to August 14, 2022. We had postponed many customer events like these for approximately two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we plan to continue promoting similar events while being mindful of COVID-19 conditions.
2. Explanation of financial position
   Total assets at the end of the period under review amounted to ¥94,125 million, down ¥4,960 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factors were a ¥5,672 million decrease in cash and deposits, a ¥2,483 million decrease in notes and accounts receivable - trade, and contract assets, despite
