1. Qualitative information for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022
- Explanation on consolidated financial results
Nissui has adopted the "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No.29, March 31, 2020), etc., from the first quarter of the current consolidated fiscal year and compared and analyzed the same period of the previous year and the previous fiscal year, which had been adopted the accounting standard retroactively.
During the third quarter of the consolidated fiscal year under review, the Japanese economy witnessed corporate earnings improve, mainly in the manufacturing industry, thanks to the various economic policies launched by the Japanese Government. Also, personal consumption was recovering since the emergency declaration, and pre-emergency measures were lifted on September 30, 2021.
In terms of the global economy during the period subject to consolidated accounting from January to September, consumer spending and capital investment increased after the restriction on going out, etc., were gradually lifted in the background of vaccination spread. Meanwhile, the number of people infected with COVID-19 was rising in the United States and Europe at the same time.
While economic activities are recovering in Japan and overseas, we cannot see the end of the novel coronavirus because of the outbreak of mutant viruses. Also, the situation is still unclear as there is confusion in logistics caused by container shortage and rising shipping costs, along with hiking raw material prices and labor costs.
The Company and its corporate group showed improvement in the aquaculture business inside and outside Japan. Sales of marine products improved following the recovery of economic activity. On the other hand, the Japanese fishery and Alaskan pollock processing business struggled. The sales for household and foodservice in the food products business stayed firm in Europe and the USA.
Under these circumstances, the consolidated financial results through the third quarter of the consolidated fiscal year under review were as follows: net sales were 525,279 million yen, up 58,995 million yen year-on-year; operating profit was 24,652 million yen, up 9,588 million yen year-on-year; ordinary profit was 29,330 million yen, up 10,529 million yen year-on-year.
Regarding extraordinary profit or loss, there were indications of impairment on non-current assets of UniSea, Inc., one of the consolidated companies of Nissui, in the United States. As a result of evaluating the collectability of the fixed assets by estimating future cash flows considering the current business environment, we posted 5,002 million yen as the impairment loss for the 3rd Quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. Thus, the profit attributable to the owners of the parent company was 16,601 million yen, up 3,411 million yen year-on-year. (For the details, please refer to" Notice concerning recording of extraordinary loss (impairment loss)" disclosed today.)
We once again discuss our medium-to-long-term vision and strategies to realize our vision in the current fiscal year and make steady efforts to strengthen the constitution for the upcoming mid-to-long-term management plan.
Specifically, we will position it as "time to solidify the foundation for overcoming weak points, developing strengths, and regrowing," and rebuild our domestic aquaculture business and chilled business immediately in addition to the launch of sales of pure EPA active pharmaceutical ingredients for overseas market. Also, we will expand and strengthen products that are delicious and contribute to health that responds to the changes in lifestyles and needs, such as restrictions on going out and increasing work from home on a global scale.
As for our measures against COVID-19, we will continue to implement workstyles for employees to realize the 3Cs, namely avoiding "closed spaces," "crowded places," and "close-contact settings," by combining "working from home"and "web meetings," etc., to prevent the spread of infection. We are committed to continuing with measures to prevent infection, ensuring our business partner's and employees' safety, and thereby fulfilling our responsibilities to produce and supply food.
