1. QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2022

(1) Explanation of Business Results

The Japanese government's Monthly Economic Report on the Japanese economy for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 (April 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021) states, "Concerning short-term prospects, the economy is expected to pick up, supported by the effects of various policies and improvement in overseas economies while economic and social activities are moving toward normalization. However, full attention should be given to further downside risks due to supply-side constraints and the trend of raw material prices." It also states that firms' judgments on business conditions "show movements of picking up."

Fuji Media Holdings Group (the "Group"), as in the same period of the previous fiscal year, was affected by the lasting impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), including a drop in travel and tourism demand. However, the Group was able to improve its performance thanks to a recovery in advertising revenue and efforts to cut back on operating expenses.

Amid this economic environment, consolidated net sales of the Group increased overall during the nine months ended December 31, 2021, up 1.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥395,271 million, thanks to an increase in the Urban Development, Hotels & Resorts segment, despite a decrease in the Media & Content segment due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, etc. and the sale of the Cecile business.

In terms of earnings, operating income increased 78.3% year-on-year to ¥26,334 million, as there were revenue increases in both the Media & Content segment and the Urban Development, Hotels & Resorts segment. Recurring profit increased 66.2% year-on-year to ¥36,588 million and net income attributable to owners of the parent increased 27.1% year-on-year to ¥26,509 million, despite a reactionary decrease in gain on sales of investment securities recorded under extraordinary gain in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, etc., net sales decreased ¥17,284 million, cost of sales decreased ¥15,020 million and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased ¥2,395 million, while operating income, recurring profit and income before income taxes increased ¥131 million, respectively.

Results by operating segment are as follows.
