Global Kids Company Corp. (6189) Consolidated Financial Results for the Second Quarter of FY9/21

1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance

(1) Explanation of Results of Operations

During the first six months of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021 (hereinafter, "the period under review"), while the situation in the Japanese economy continues to be severe due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection, there have been signs of recovery, including a partial recovery in corporate earnings. However, with no prospects of an end to the pandemic, including the third declaration of a state of emergency in April 2021, the outlook is becoming increasingly uncertain.

As for the child-rearing support business in this economic environment above, a change in awareness of the social advancement of women and government efforts to encourage them to take active roles have helped to maintain high levels in the number of double- income households and the employment rate of women. Accordingly, demand for childcare services has remained at a high level. In the period under review, despite the second declaration of a state of emergency in January 2021, the attendance rate for nursery school children remained generally unchanged, and the impact of the novel coronavirus infection was minor.

In response to this increase in demand for childcare services, both the central and local governments are implementing measures to secure childcare workers and develop nursery schools to expand service capacity. Specifically, free early childhood education and preschool programs began in October 2019, and in December 2020, the government announced the New Child-rearing Security Plan, setting a goal of securing additional capacity for approximately 140,000 children over the four years from fiscal 2021 to the end of fiscal 2024.

Due to these measures undertaken by the government, demand for establishing new nursery schools is expected to continue for the time being, which reflects a continued growth in demand for childcare services in central Tokyo, where we have focused our efforts. Given the concern over Japan's declining workforce due to its aging population and a decrease in its total population, the development of a sound child-rearing environment and improvement of the quality of childcare services are issues to be addressed in the course of promoting the social advancement of women to boost the country's economic vitality. In this context, the child-rearing support service providers are playing an increasingly important social role.

At the end of the period under review, the Group operates a total of 176 facilities: 125 central government licensed nursery schools (91 in Tokyo, 25 in Kanagawa, three in Chiba, one in Saitama and five in Osaka); 23 local government licensed nursery schools or centers for early childhood education and care; 11 employer-sponsored nurseries; 13 after-school day care centers or children's houses; and four child developmental support facilities.

Meanwhile, we arranged to open new facilities during the period under review, and opened nine central government licensed nursery schools on April 1, 2021, as listed below. In addition, we are planning to open one central government licensed nursery school in September.

(Central government licensed nursery schools) Tokyo

Global Kids Morishita 5-Chome Global Kids Hirano

Global Kids Shimo No. 2 Kanagawa

Global Kids Mitsukyo

Global Kids Hiyoshi 5-Chome

Chiba

Global Kids Urayasu

Net sales for the period under review increased attributable to a rise in the number of nursery school children mainly due to an increase in the number of facilities under operation. In addition, the cost to sales and selling, general and administrative expenses ratios improved due to the promotion of online internal events and training, as well as enhanced efficiency in hiring childcare workers. Consequently, the Group reported net sales for the period under review of 11,640 million yen (up 6.0% year on year) with operating profit of 336 million yen (up 71.5% year on year), ordinary profit of 324 million yen (up 34.4% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of 196 million yen (up 33.3% year on year).
