1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Financial Results

(1) Explanation of Operating Results

The Company has adopted the "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020; hereinafter "Revenue Recognition Standard") and related guidelines effective the beginning of the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

Key financial data for the three months ended September 30, 2021 in the explanation of operating results is figures after the adoption of these accounting standards, etc. For this reason, the changes in amounts and percentage changes of net sales from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year are not presented.

For details of the adoption of the Revenue Recognition Standard, etc., please refer to "2. Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements and Principal Notes (3) Notes to Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (Changes in accounting policies)."

In the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Japanese economy was expected to make a recovery, but with the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games being held without spectators, the sharp rise in positive COVID- 19 cases with the emergence of new variants, and the prolonged continuation of the state of emergency declarations and localized priority measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the economic recovery was delayed and personal spending remained at a low level, leaving the future unpredictable.

In addition, costs are increasing, such as soaring prices of surimi and other raw materials and energy prices, and rising labor costs resulting from labor shortages, and the business environment surrounding the Group has become increasingly severe.

Under these circumstances, the Group entered the first year of its 2nd Medium-term Management Plan, which extends from July 2021 to June 2026, with the ICHIMASA30 Vision (the Company's vision for FY2045) as its aim. It is addressing business issues with the basic policy of "establishing the foundations for business growth and earnings capability through daring challenges toward markets in Japan and overseas and the certain achievement of a first-stage 'growth trajectory.'"

Further, the maintenance of the global environment is essential for the sustainable growth and development of corporate activity. With the aim of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Group is striving to resolve sustainability issues with the cooperation of stakeholders. On July 1, 2021, it established the ICHIMASA KAMABOKO ESG Management Declaration to promote ESG-oriented management that will both contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and enhance corporate value.

As a result, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company posted net sales of ¥7,139 million, operating loss of ¥25 million (operating profit of ¥166 million for the same period of the previous fiscal year), ordinary loss of ¥3 million (ordinary profit of ¥177 million for the same period of the previous fiscal year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥76 million (profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥131 million for the same period of the previous fiscal year).

The performance of each segment is as follows.

(Fish-paste Products and Side Dishes Business)

The Company's mainstay product, kanikama (crab-flavored kamaboko), has penetrated the market as an easily accessible source of fish meat protein, as health consciousness continues to rise. Within this category, the time- limited product, "Salad Stick Edamame-Flavor," proved popular, capturing demand for summer snacks to accompany drinks. "Large Kanikama," a satisfying way to eat quality fish meat protein, also performed well.

Regarding oden products, due to the effects of rainy weather, autumn rain fronts, and typhoons in August and September, temperatures were cooler than usual, and demand for pre-cooked oden and deep-fried products increased.

In terms of profit, due to the expansion of stay-at-home consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic, growing health consciousness around the world, and economic growth in emerging nations, demand for processed seafood products increased and surimi prices have remained at high levels.
