(3) Reason for the amendment

In the first quarter report of the fiscal year ended December 2020, which was announced on May 12, 2020, we did not predict the results forecast and the distribution forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2020 because there is no prospect for the restriction of beauty room operations due to the issuance of an emergency declaration accompanying the spread of the spread of the new corona viruses or for the convergence of the decline of customers coming to the store, and it is difficult to calculate the results forecast and the distribution forecast rationally. At this point in time, there is uncertainty about the future, but we have made forecasts for operating results and dividends assuming that the spread of the new coronavirus will gradually converge from the third quarter of the fiscal year under review.

The forecasts of operating results and dividends cannot be denied that unexpected changes may occur due to exogenous factors, such as the spread and convergence of the new coronavirus. Therefore, the forecasts will be revised promptly if significant fluctuations are anticipated.

  1. Reasons for dividends
    We regard returning profits to shareholders as an important management issue, and our basic policy is to distribute profits in accordance with business performance while strengthening our corporate structure through internal reserves to improve profitability in the future.
    In the period ending December 2020, the Company has decided to make an interim distribution for the period. However, as a result of comprehensive consideration of the announced performance forecast and the policy mentioned above, we have decided to set the value at 27 per share, which is the same as that of the previous period.
