1. Qualitative Information on Financial Results for the Period under Review
(1) Explanation of Business Results
The Japanese economy during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 suffered from the continued impact of COVID-19. Although vaccination against COVID-19 has progressed and the number of infected people is currently declining, the situation remains uncertain, and consumer spending is weak.
As for the candy market, the market as a whole saw a decline year on year due to a drop in consumption as flows of people decreased due to repeated declarations of states of emergency and the normalization of wearing face masks, despite a trend towards recovery. Meanwhile, the gummy category saw an increase year on year in all channels.
In such a business environment, Kanro has strived to advance measures of the "Growth strategy" and "Reinforcement of management base" which are basic strategies of the medium-term corporate strategy "NewKANRO 2021" while adapting to a "new lifestyle." As a result, net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by ¥1,485 million (9.2%) year on year to ¥17,639 million.
Looking at sales by product category, sales of bag type hard candy products decreased year on year despite the increase in the gourmet and fancy category making up for the decrease in throat drops (の ど飴), as the sales of the stick type hard candy products and small bags with zip type products continued to decline due to a decrease in office and outing consumption. By product, while sales increased for Kinno Milk candy (金のミルクキャンデイ) with newly released flavors, and the Non-SugarSakan (ノ ンシュガー茶館) series, sales of the Kenko Nodoame (健康のど飴) series, Non-SugarSuper Menthol Nodoame (ノンシュガースーパーメントールのど飴), and Non-SugarFruit Nodoame (ノンシュガー果 実のど飴) decreased year on year. Sales of healthy snacks also decreased year on year due to the growing number of private-label products at convenience stores. On the other hand, sales of gummy products increased significantly year on year. In addition to strong sales of Candemina Gummy (カン デミーナグミ), a leading brand, sales of renewed Puré Gummy (ピュレグミ) and Puré Ring (ピュレリ ング) for parents and children were strong, and a new product Marosh (マロッシュ), a marshmallow product, was received favorably. As a result, the increase in sales of gummy products exceeded the decreases in sales of hard candy products and healthy snacks.
In terms of profits, gross profit increased by ¥991 million (13.4%) year on year to ¥8,359 million, due to an increase in net sales and a decrease in cost-of-sales ratio resulting from an increase in production.
Operating income increased by ¥341 million (200.1%) year on year to ¥512 million despite an increase in sales promotion expenses in reaction to the decrease in the previous fiscal year and an increase in personnel expenses resulting from an increased number of employees. Ordinary income increased by ¥353 million (186.1%) year on year to ¥543 million, due to income from loss recognized in association with the delay in installation of factory equipment, in addition to the above factors.
In addition, net income for the period under review increased by ¥293 million (205.4%) year on year to ¥435 million, as the amount posted in gain on sales of investment securities associated with the reduction of strategic shareholdings exceeded that posted for the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
(2) Explanation of Financial Position
Total assets at the end of the third quarter of the fiscal year under review decreased by ¥467 million (2.4%) from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥19,311 million.
The decrease in total assets was mainly attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable - trade by ¥1,365 million and a decrease in property, plant and equipment by ¥173 million, despite an increase in cash and deposits by ¥753 million and an increase in merchandise and finished goods by ¥328 million.
Liabilities decreased by ¥622 million (7.2%) from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥7,981 million. 2
