Daiseki Eco. Solution Co., Ltd. (1712)

1. Qualitative information on quarterly consolidated financial results

Forward-looking statements in this document are based on our views as of the end of the quarter under review.

1. Explanation of operating results
   During the six months ended August 31, 2021, the Japanese economy continued to face difficult conditions due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as there was increasing weakness in some parts of the economy despite the economic recovery trend. Regarding the outlook, although a recovery is expected to continue due to the effect of various policies to prevent the spread of infections and due to improvements in overseas economies, it is necessary to pay careful attention to the rising risk of a downturn due to the spread of infections and closely monitor the impact of fluctuations in financial and capital markets and other factors.
   In the construction industry, to which the Company group (the "Group") belongs, despite the pickup trend in private-sector capital expenditure mainly in manufacturing, the impact of COVID-19 and other factors are uncertain and the business environment is expected to remain unpredictable.
   Against this backdrop, in the Group's core business of Soil Investigation and Measures, we focused on winning orders for high-margin projects and consulting sales. Although low-price competition intensified in metropolitan areas, the volume of orders received and unit prices of orders were strong, and the completion of multiple construction projects ordered in the previous fiscal year and large-scale infrastructure improvement projects, etc. contributed to business performance. In addition, as a result of the higher proportion of high-margin projects, consolidated business results for the six months ended August 31, 2021 were as follows: net sales of ¥9,099 million (up 22.8% year on year), operating profit of ¥1,293 million (up 181.7% year on year), ordinary profit of ¥1,299 million (up 173.2% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥797 million (up 208.3% year on year).
   Operating results by segment are as follows.
   Soil Investigation and Measures Business
   As demand for soil treatment continued to recover, we focused on winning orders for high-margin projects and consulting sales. The construction project ordered in the previous fiscal year for the Higashi-Meihan Expressway is proceeding toward completion and the large-scale infrastructure improvement project in the Chukyo area for the Gifu Recycling Center drove the business performance. As a result, net sales increased 25.9% year on year to ¥7,547 million, and operating profit increased 135.2% year on year to ¥1,265 million.
   Gypsum Board Recycle Business
   The volumes of waste gypsum board processed by Green Arrows Central Co., Ltd. and Green Arrows Kyushu Co., Ltd. both increased significantly year on year. Furthermore, amid off-season demand from major customers for soil solidifiers, we strengthened sales activities in distributor sales and direct sales routes. As a result, net sales increased 20.1% year on year to ¥1,081 million, and operating profit increased 64.9% year on year to ¥309 million.
   Other
   The PCB Consulting Business and the Bio Diesel Fuel (BDF) Business were solid, but sales for the General Waste Treatment Business decreased compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. As a result, net sales increased 0.4% year on year to ¥619 million, and operating profit increased 16.0% year on year to ¥79 million.
