1. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

1. Results of operations
   In the three-month period of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 (April 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021), the economic environment has continued to be harsh as a result of constraints on economic activities brought about by the declaration of a state of emergency to counter the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and the outlook at present continues to be unclear.
   The three-month-period performance was as follows.

				(Unit: Millions of Yen)
	Three months ended	Three months ended	Change	%
	June 30, 2020	June 30, 2021
Operating revenue	133,330	148,102	14,771	11.1
Operating profit	4,231	6,095	1,863	44.0
Ordinary profit	4,197	6,381	2,183	52.0
Profit attributable to owners of	2,526	3,608	1,081	42.8
parent

Amid signs that cargo volumes are recovering in the Logistics business, we made group-wide efforts to expand sales, improve cost efficiency and enhance productivity, as well as promote M&A, and as a result, consolidated operating revenue, consolidated operating profit, consolidated ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent all increased year on year.

The three-month-period operating revenue by segment was as follows.

Logistics

				(Unit: Millions of Yen)
	Three months ended	Three months ended	Change	%
	June 30, 2020	June 30, 2021
Operating revenue	91,593	102,553	10,959	12.0
Segment income	3,751	5,839	2,087	55.6

Amid an apparent recovery in cargo volumes, which declined drastically in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, we strived to expand sales, improve cost efficiency and enhance productivity while reaping the contribution of revenue from M&A we conducted in the previous fiscal year. As a result, operating revenue increased ¥10,959 million year on year to ¥102,553 million, and segment income rose ¥2,087 million year on year to ¥5,839 million.

Trading & commerce

				(Unit: Millions of Yen)
	Three months ended	Three months ended	Change	%
	June 30, 2020	June 30, 2021
Operating revenue	38,171	37,090	(1,081)	(2.8)
Segment income	820	782	(38)	(4.7)

In addition to making household paper wholesale distributor AZFIT CO., Ltd. a consolidated subsidiary in April, we worked on expanding sales, improving cost efficiency among other initiatives. However, in part as a result of applying the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition and relevant revised ASBJ regulations, and in part due to rising purchase prices in fuel sales, among other factors, operating revenue decreased by ¥1,081 million year on year to ¥37,090 million and segment income fell ¥38 million year on year to ¥782 million.

Others

				(Unit: Millions of Yen)
	Three months ended	Three months ended	Change	%
	June 30, 2020	June 30, 2021
Operating revenue	3,565	8,459	4,893	137.2
Segment loss	(242)	(310)	(68)	-

In addition to making membership-based general wholesale and retail business operator TERAUCHI CO., LTD. a consolidated subsidiary in January 2021, we worked on expanding sales, improving cost efficiency among other initiatives. However, in part due to the continued impact of COVID-19, operating revenue rose ¥4,893 million year on year to ¥8,459 million while segment loss was ¥310 million, a deterioration of ¥68 million year on year.

   Current assets amounted to ¥149,505 million, down ¥14,386 million from the end of the previous fiscal year.

   Non-current assets totaled ¥280,883 million, up ¥9,514 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was primarily due to increases of ¥5,494 million in property, plant and equipment and ¥2,877 million in investments and other assets.

   Non-current liabilities totaled ¥159,127 million, up ¥3,336 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly attributable to increases of ¥1,786 million in long-term borrowings and ¥955 million in other non-current liabilities.
