KANTSU CO., LTD. (9326) Financial Results for FY2/21
1. Overview of Results of Operations
This section is a summary of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of KANTSU in the fiscal year that ended on February 28, 2021.
Forward-looking statements are based on the judgments of KANTSU as of February 28, 2021.
(1) Results of Operations
During the fiscal year that ended on February 28, 2021, there were severe restrictions on economic activity in Japan for a while because of the state of emergency due to the COVID -19 crisis. Furthermore, consumer spending plunged as local governments asked people to limit outings as much as possible. Although a recovery was observed in some sectors of the Japanese economy after the state of emergency ended, the economic outlook remains unclear because of another upturn in COVID -19 cases that started in November 2020 and other reasons.
Logistics companies in Japan continued to operate even during the state of emergency, while taking steps to prevent COVID-19 infections, because logistics was classified as an essential service for maintaining consumer and business activities. As a result, logistics companies fulfilled their responsibil ities as a key component of Japan's infrastructure for these activities.
During the fiscal year, we took many actions for improving efficiency, including measures for raising the productivity of logistics services for existing customers, while implementing safety measures for employees. To receive business from new customers, we strengthened our ability to provide services by adding distribution centers and enlarging existing centers. In addition, there were activities for the effective use of the internet to attract new customers, including the further upgrading of search engine optimization.
Due to these activities, fiscal year sales increased 30.5% year-on-year to 9,530 million yen, operating profit increased 43.5% to 418 million yen and ordinary profit increased 50.0% to 383 million yen. There was extraordinary income of 17 million yen due to gains on sales of investment securities, the result of sales of investments held for business relationships. As a result, profit increased 66.0% to 283 million yen.
Business segment performance was as follows.
Business segment sales are sales to external customers and segment profit or loss is based on operating profit in the income statement.
Logistics services business
The workforce of this business was increased to handle the larger volume of shipments. In addition, there were many activities to increase customer satisfaction. We started using logistics robots and began using the Cloud Thomas warehouse management system that we developed ahead of schedule in order to use this system during the peak volume period of December 2020. These activities to upgrade our operations resulted in a steady improvement in productivity, mainly for EC/catalog logistics support services. To receive orders from new customers, we worked even harder on search engine optimization and many other activities for the effective use of the internet to attract customers.
In the EC/catalog logistics support services category, which is the main component of this segment, the volume of shipments continued to climb because of the growth of e -commerce sales of existing customers. We also added many new customers during the fiscal year. Due to the outlook for Tokyo area distribution centers to reach full capacity sooner than anticipated, the third Tokyo distribution center began operations in October 2020 and other investments were made to maintain an infrastructure capable of handling the business of new customers. In the software sales and use services category, there was steady progress with receiv ing orders from new customers, chiefly for the Cloud Thomas warehouse management system.
As a result, net sales increased 30.9% year-on-year to 9,443 million yen and segment profit increased 31.7% to 429 million yen.

Other businesses
Technology education services for foreign trainees was unable to operate mainly because of the suspension of operations of schools in Myanmar due to the COVID -19 crisis. However, other educational services performed well because this crisis did not have a significant impact on these activities.
As a result, net sales increased 0.2% year-on-year to 86 million yen and segment loss was 11 million yen, compared with a loss of 34 million yen in the previous fiscal year.

(4) Outlook
a. Overall outlook
According to a Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry report concerning a 2019 survey of the e -commerce market, which is closely linked to services provided by KANTSU, worldwide EC sales in the B-to-C category were 19.4 trillion yen in 2019. This is 7.65% higher than sales of 18.0 trillion yen in 2018. The EC ratio was 6.76% in the B-to-C category, 0.54 of a percentage point higher than in 2018. Furthermore, in the merchandise sales category, the B-to-C EC market increased 8.09% from 9.3 trillion yen in 2018 to 10.5 trillion yen in 2019. These figures demonstrate that the EC market is continuing to expand.
In the logistics industry, all companies are continuing to provide services while using numerous measures for
4
KANTSU CO., LTD. (9326) Financial Results for FY2/21
safety during the COVID-19 crisis. During this crisis, the role of logistics companies as part of the social infrastructure has become even more important in order to help meet growing demand in the EC sector and support growth of this market.
In the EC/catalog logistics support services sector, we expect sales from cargo transport fees to be about 800 million yen below the outlook based on the budget because of the switch to different contracts with some customers. However, there will be two new distribution centers in 2021 to meet new d emand. The EC/Catalog Distribution Center (warehouse space of about 18,500 square meters) in the city of Amagasaki in Hyogo prefecture is scheduled to open in April 2021 and the D -to-C Center (warehouse space of about 17,200 square meters), also in Amagasaki, is scheduled to open in June 2021. In addition, we will continue to use the internet for effective measures to attract new customers. Another goal is improving efficiency for services for current customers. This includes constant measures for improving productivity, such as by using logistics robots and other automated equipment. The aim is to further increase customer satisfaction by handling with efficiency and reliability the steadily growing volume of shipments.
Based on this outlook, in the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2022, we forecast a 12.9% increase in sales to 10,756 million yen, a 60.4% increase in operating profit to 670 million yen, a 65.7% increase in ordinary profit to 635 million yen and a 51.5% increase in profit to 428 million ye n.
In prior years before the fiscal year that ended on February 28, 2021, there was one reportable segment called logistics services and all other businesses were in others. In accordance with a resolution approved today by the board of directors, there will be two reportable segments beginning with the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2022 by establishing the IT automation segment. One reason is the increasing contribution to sales and earnings of software sales and use services, which is currently included in the logistics services segment. Another reason is the increasing importance of software sales and use services within the current medium -term business plan. In conjunction with this change, IT automation sales and earnings in the fiscal year that e nded on February 28, 2021 have been calculated by using the performance of software sales and use services and deducted from the logistics services segment.
b. Individual assumptions
Net sales
We forecast a 12.9% increase in net sales to 10,756 million yen.
KANTSU creates proposals for ways for existing customers to increase the productivity of their logistics operations in order to retain these customers and raise the volume of business with them. To establish relationships with new customers, we seek companies that are considering the use of the internet for outsourcing logistics operations. Companies that contact us are invited to attend warehouse tours and other events. By observing our warehouse operations, representatives of these companies gain a tho rough understanding of our services that can result in a new logistic service orders.
The sales forecast is based on actual sales of individual current customers and services. For major customers, as much information as possible is collected about our services, including the outlook for the volume of shipments. Then projected sales for each customer and service are added. For the outlook for adding new customers, plans for new and enlarged distribution centers are incorporated and, for prospective customers where business discussions are at an advanced stage, studies are performed concerning progress with the process to a yes or no decision about placing an order as well as the level of difficulty of sales activities for each customer. A sales forecast is established for prospective customers where we believe there are good prospects for receiving orders. In addition, based on the number of new customers acquired in prior years, an outlook is determined for the number of other new customers in the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2022 and this number is used to determine a reasonable sales forecast for these customers. Business segment forecasts are as follows.
5
KANTSU CO., LTD. (9326) Financial Results for FY2/21
Logistics services business
This segment accounts for 95.7% of the sales forecast for the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2022. Service categories of this segment are EC/catalog logistics support, outsourced order processing, Rakuten Super Logistics and logistics consulting.
For current customers, as much information as possible is collected about the outlook for shipment volumes and other items involving KANTSU services. Then the projected sales for each customer are added by forecasting shipment volume and other items determined based on prior year performance and by multiplying by the expected unit prices that will apply to each customer. To determine the outlook for adding new customers, for prospective customers where business discussions are at an advanced stage, studies are performed concerning progress with the process to a yes or no decision about placing an order as well as the difficulty of sales activities for each customer. A sales forecast is established for prospective customers where we believe there are good prospects for receiving orders. In addition, based on the number of new customers acquired in prior years, an outlook is determined for the number of other new customers in the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2022 and this number is used to determine a reasonable sales forecast for these customers.
By using this process, and after factoring in the outlook for sales from cargo transport fees to be about 800 million yen below the outlook based on the budget because of the switch to different contracts with some customers (the effect on earnings at all levels is negligible), we add ed the sales forecasts for each current customer to the new customer sales forecast of 1,500 million yen. The forecast also reflects the first full fiscal year contribution to sales of new customers acquired in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021. The result is a segment sales forecast of 10,292 million yen, 12.5% more than in the previous fiscal year.
IT automation business
This business is growing rapidly, having achieved sales growth of 46.9% in the fiscal year that ended on February 28, 2021. The activities of this business are the Cloud Thomas warehouse management system, the Annie check list system, and two services launched in the fiscal year end ed on February 28, 2021: the e.can system for the automatic processing of orders received and the ippo! service for outsourced robotic process automation (RPA) production.
For current customers, a forecast for the use of services was established based on the use of individual services in prior years and the individual forecasts were added. To determine the outlook for adding new customers, for prospective customers where business discussions are at an advanced stage, studies are performed concerning progress with the process to a yes or no decision about placing an order as well as the difficulty of sales a ctivities for each customer. A sales forecast is established for prospective customers where we believe there are good prospects for starting to provide services. In addition, based on the number of new customers acquired in prior years, progress with sales activities using business alliances, the outlook for the benefits of advertising and other marketing activities, and other factors, an outlook is determined for the number of other new customers in the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2022 and this number is used to determine a reasonable sales forecast for these customers. This process resulted in a segment sales forecast of 349 million yen, 17.6% more than in the previous fiscal year.
Note: The prior-year sales comparison in the IT automation segment uses sales of the software sales and use services category of the logistics services segment. In addition, results of operations for the logistics services segment for the fiscal year that ended on February 28, 2021 has not been audited by the independent auditor.
Other businesses
Other businesses include technology education services for foreign trainees and other education services. Foreign trainee education services must be suspended for the time being because of the COVID -19 pandemic and unrest in Myanmar, the primary location of these services. As a result, we established a conservative sales estimate for
6
KANTSU CO., LTD. (9326) Financial Results for FY2/21
these services. For other education services, we established a reasonable forecast that reflects school utilization rates and other performance metrics in prior years. In addition, the sales forecast includes estimated sales of the service that started in the fiscal year that ended on February 28, 2021 for helping people with developmental disabilities find jobs. By using this process, we established a segment sales forecast of 115 million yen, up 33.1% from the previous fiscal year.
Cost of sales
In the logistics services business, we established a staffing plan for individual logistics service bases that is based on the number of people when the outlook was established and reflects seasonal changes in staffing. We used this plan to calculate an estimate of personnel expenses. We estimated rent expenses by incorporating new and expanded facilities and other factors; outsourcing expenses by incorporating expected changes in the volume of outsourced work; depreciation expenses by incorporating investments in logistics robots, material handling equipment and other equipment; and freight-out expenses by using the shipment volume forecast used for the sales forecast. For other items in the cost of sales, we incorporated changes in sales based on the prior year performance of individual logistics services facilities. In the software business, we estimated personnel expenses by using the estimated time required for maintenance and other services in the staffing plan for the data systems department. We estimated depreciation expenses by using prior year depreciation expenses and the expected increase in depreciable assets based on the fiscal year software develo pment plan. For other items in the cost of sales, we incorporated changes in sales based on the prior year performance.
The cost of sales forecast also reflects a decrease in the freight-out cost associated with the decline in freight transport sales at some customers and the expected improvement in efficiency due to the use of logistics robots and other automated equipment, the use of an upgraded version of the Cloud Thomas warehouse management system, and other measures. On the other hand, we expect increases in two major components of the cost of sales other than freight transport: personnel expenses and rent expenses. As a result, we forecast an 8.8% increase in the cost of sales to 9,148 million yen.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
This forecast is based on expenses in the previous fiscal year and reflects expected increases in personnel expenses, expenses for software maintenance and IT systems, and depreciation expenses due to the upgraded version of the new warehouse management system and other items. The forecast also incorporates the outlook for higher expenses resulting from new offices and more people for administrative and system development positions.
This process resulted in an estimated increase of 32.5% in selling, general and administrative expenses to 937 million yen.
Operating profit
Due to the projected sales growth and other reasons, we forecast a 60.4% increase in operating profit to 670 million yen.
Ordinary profit
The estimates for non-operating income and expense items expected in the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2022 use a reasonable outlook based on income and expenses in the previous fiscal year. As a result, we forecast a 65.7% increase in ordinary profit to 635 million yen.
Profit
We forecast a 51.5% increase in profit to 428 million yen. In the fiscal year that ended on February 28, 2021, there was an extraordinary income of 17 million yen and extraordinary losses of 8 million yen. No extraordinary income or loss is expected in the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2022.

Notes: 1. Rakuten Super Logistics services are included in EC/catalog logistics support services.
2. Beginning with the first quarter of the fiscal year ending on February 28, 2022, the software sales and use services category of the logistics services business segment will become a separate business segment called IT automation. In conjunction with this change, IT automation sales and earnings in the fiscal year that ended on February 28, 2021 have been calculated by using the performance of software sales and use services and deducted from the logistics services segment.
2. Basic Approach to the Selection of Accounting Standards
KANTSU has a policy of preparing its financial statements using Japanese GAAP to permit comparisons with other fiscal years as well as comparisons with the performance of other Japanese companies.

- Software sales and use services
- Rakuten Super Logistics services
- Logistics consulting services
2. Calculation method for net sales, profit or loss, assets, liabilities, and other items for each reportable segment
