Qualitative Information regarding the Consolidated Results for the Six Months under Review
Explanation of Operating Results
During the six months under review (April 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017), the Japanese economy saw both corporate earnings and consumer spending continue to follow a moderate recovery path backed by the Bank of Japan's easy monetary policy and government spending under large-scale economic policies.
On the other hand, although continuing to pick up on the whole, overseas economies remain unstable owing chiefly to cloudy outlook for economic growth and uncertainty over policy direction in China and other emerging markets in Asia as well as the volatility of financial and capital markets.
Under these circumstances, establishing "TAKE THE INITIATIVE, in the field of data-activation" as its basic policy in the 12th Medium-Term Management Plan that has begun in this fiscal year, the INTAGE Group has implemented proactive business investments and R&D activities with the aim of accelerating the development of next-generation services towards further enhancement of its corporate value.
As a result, the INTAGE Group's consolidated net sales for the six months under review amounted to
¥22,941 million (up 7.0% year on year), with operating income of ¥1,270 million (down 7.5%), ordinary income of ¥1,469 million (up 7.2%) and net income attributable to owners of the Parent of ¥1,008 million (up 10.3%).
The results by business segment are described below.
Marketing Support (Consumer Goods & Services)
In the Marketing Support (Consumer Goods & Services) segment, sales increased, bolstered mainly by the strong performance of existing research studies and Internet surveys of custom research areas as well as public-sector projects. On the other hand, operating income decreased owing to aggressive investments to achieve goals set in the 12th Medium-Term Management Plan, i.e. improvement in data value and expansion of service areas.
As a result, consolidated net sales of the Marketing Support (Consumer Goods & Services) segment amounted to ¥14,806 million (up 7.1% year on year), with an operating income of ¥460 million (down 15.1%).
Marketing Support (Healthcare)
In the Marketing Support (Healthcare) segment, sales increased but operating income decreased, due largely to investments made by ANTERIO Inc. to improve product values of existing services and the absence of large project orders that were present in the previous fiscal year, despite the brisk performance of post-marketing surveillance of medical products at ASKLEP Inc. and promotion activity evaluation services at ANTERIO Inc.
As a result, consolidated net sales of the Marketing Support (Healthcare) segment amounted to ¥5,388 million (up 5.7% year on year), with an operating income of ¥635 million (down 11.2%).
Business Intelligence
In the Business Intelligence segment, both sales and operating income increased owing to the solid performance of CG&S* in the travel and other industries as well as strong orders for projects from the healthcare industry.
As a result, consolidated net sales of the Business Intelligence segment amounted to ¥2,746 million (up 8.9% year on year), with an operating income of ¥175 million (up 51.1%).
* CG&S stands for consumer goods and services.
