BOOKOFF GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED (9278)
Summary Report for the Third Quarter of May 2021 Fiscal Year
1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance
(1) Explanation of Results of Operations
Forward-looking statements in this Consolidated Summary Report are based on information available to management as of the end of the third quarter.
Since the start of operations, the BOOKOFF Group has always been guided by the two corporate philosophies of "contributing to society through our business activities" and "the pursuit of employees' material and spiritual wellbeing." We are currently implementing a medium-term business plan that ends in the fiscal year ending on May 31, 2021, when we will celebrate our 30th anniversary. We are rededicating ourselves to our corporate philosophies and focusing our activities on the mission of "being a source of an enjoyable and prosperous life for many people."
Based on this mission, we will use our strengths in Japan's growing reuse market to become the leading reuse company with books as the core category. Our goal is to become the reuse store chain used by the largest number of customers as we adapt to changes in market conditions.
We have established two core strategies in order to accomplish this goal.
Core strategy I: Upgrade individual stores
We believe that upgrading reuse services in both our retail format and Internet platform is the starting point for becoming Japan's leading reuse company that serves the largest number of customers. We are working on improvements for all store format packages and services.
Core strategy II: Use all the BOOKOFF Group's strengths
In the past, the BOOKOFF Group provided separate services at stores and through channels other than stores. Now, we are creating an integrated framework that combines the platforms for members and buying and selling merchandise with systems that support these activities and with other items. In addition, every service will make full use of member and merchandise information, operational expertise, and other resources we have accumulated in every service category. The objective of these activities is to operate as "One BOOKOFF."
During the first nine months of the current fiscal year, we opened BOOKOFF SUPER BAZAAR 1-Gou Kyoto Fushimi Store and Jalan Jalan Japan Tesco Rawang, the sixth store in Malaysia.
Furthermore, we have continued to make substantial investments for improving services for app members and establishing a network of franchised stores using our e-purchasing system. Investments have been also used to create an omni-channel structure that utilizes the BOOKOFF Online website and to move forward with our O2O (online-to-offline) strategy. Conducting all business operations in a cohesive manner as "One BOOKOFF" is the objective of all these initiatives.
In the first nine months of the current fiscal year, the majority of stores directly operated by the BOOKOFF Group temporarily closed or closed only on weekends and holidays in response to the state of emergency in Japan and requests to companies to reduce or suspend business activities because of COVID-19. Most stores that altered operations are located in areas where governments made these requests. As a result, existing store sales were much lower than one year earlier. Starting in the middle of May, we reduced operating hours and sales areas at stores and began reopening most stores while taking many actions to prevent COVID-19 infections. Operations generally returned to normal in early June. Directly operated existing store sales in Japan of the BOOKOFF Group were far below sales one year earlier in April and May but sales from June to August and October were higher than one year earlier.
As a result, consolidated net sales amounted to ¥58,268 million, a 6.5% decrease from the same period of the previous fiscal year. The BOOKOFF Group recorded an operating profit of ¥737 million, a 11.1% decrease from the same period of the previous fiscal year, an ordinary profit of ¥1,113 million, a 7.6% decrease from the same period of the previous fiscal year, and a loss attributable to owners of parent of ¥44 million (compared with a profit of ¥559 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year).
The loss attributable to owners of parent was the result of the loss on COVID-19.
