Qualitative Information on Consolidated Final Results

 

  (1)

Explanation of Business Performance

During the first six months of the current fiscal year, the Japanese economy showed a moderate recovery due to improvements in corporate earnings and the employment and income environment. Meanwhile, uncertainty remains in overseas economies such as movements in the trade dispute between China and the United States and the slowdown of the Chinese economy.

In the restaurant industry, the business environment remains harsh due not only to the increase in personnel expenses, distribution expenses and the cost of ingredients, but also to a rise in consumers’ preference to save.

Under such circumstances, according to the basic precept of our group, “to enjoy rapid growth and become a local, public institution that acts in all good faith, with a sense of humility,” we are working to expand our business with the goal of opening 25 new Pepper Lunch restaurants and 210 new Ikinari! Steak restaurants, but sales of existing stores decreased compared to our plan due to the impact of factors such as competition between Ikinari! Steak restaurants in some regions.

As a result, net sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year were ¥35,122 million (an increase of 25.6% over the same period of the previous year), operating income was ¥403 million (a decrease of 73.0% from the same period of the previous year), ordinary income was ¥352 million (a decrease of 76.2% from the same period of the previous year), and net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company was ¥516 million (a decrease of 27.8% over the same period of the previous year).

Performance by segment is as follows:

 

  (i)

Pepper Lunch Business

In the Pepper Lunch Business, we conducted a campaign offering five times the points using both d-POINTs and Rakuten Points to commemorate the company’s 25th anniversary. Furthermore, we focused on home delivery services that are expected to have increased demand, and expanded the number of stores supported by Uber Eats to 15.

The Pepper Lunch Business overseas had sales of ¥204 million (an increase of 13.1% over the same period of the previous year) due to the sale of equipment, etc. associated with the launch of new stores and royalty revenue.

As a result, net sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year were ¥4,137 million (an increase of 13.7% over the same period of the previous year), and segment income was ¥586 million (a decrease of 8.9% from the same period of the previous year). In addition, the opening of 39 new stores (25 of which are located overseas) brought the total number of Pepper Lunch restaurants to 493.

 

  (ii)

Restaurant Business

In the Restaurant Business, we have been working to improve sales and profits in existing stores through initiatives such as brushing up main products and introducing seasonal products on the menu in individual stores to promote various business lines such as Sumiyaki Steak Kuni in the steak line, Kodawari Tonkatu Katsukitei in the pork cutlet line, and Gyutan Sendai Natori in the tender beef line.

As a result, net sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year were ¥675 million (a decrease of 12.1% over the same period of the previous year), and segment income was ¥23 million (a decrease of 60.3% from the same period of the previous year). In addition, the total number of restaurants in the Restaurant Business is now 15.

 

  (iii)

Ikinari! Steak Business

In the Ikinari! Steak business, we implemented movie tie-ups with campaigns for Avengers: Endgame in April, Godzilla: King of the Monsters in May and Spider-Man: Far From Home in June.

In addition, to commemorate the beginning of the Reiwa era, we held a Sirloin Steak Festival for three days (April 19-21), and offered a gift of a 500-yen Meat Money Coupon to all customers using Ikinari! Steak during the airing of television commercials for Ikinari! Steak (April 22-28).

In May, we introduced the Plus Menu for families in addition to the ordinary menu as a new initiative in the Ikinari! Steak Yashio Road Store, and also began the sale of oysters in three Ikinari! Steak stores (Ikinari! Steak Ginza 6-chome, Ikinari! Steak Shimbashi Hibiya and Ikinari! Steak Toranomon).

As a result, net sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year were ¥30,201 million (an increase of 28.6% over the same period of the previous year) due to the launch of new stores, but segment income was ¥1,681 million (a decrease of 26.6% from the same period of the previous year) due to the impact of competition between Ikinari! Steak stores in some regions. In addition, the opening of 82 new stores (1 of which is located overseas) brought the total number of Ikinari! Steak restaurants to 472.

 

  (iv)

Product Sales Business

In the Product Sales Business, we sold our tonkatsu sauce, frozen pepper rice, frozen hamburger steak and Ikinari! Steak set that customers can enjoy at home through the major e-commerce sites.

Furthermore, we began selling THE OTSUMAMI BEEF overseen by Ikinari! Steak in supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide in June, for a limited period (June 10 to August).

As a result, net sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year including royalty revenue from Ikinari! Steak collaboration products were ¥107 million (an increase of 34.1% over the same period of the previous year), and segment income was ¥14 million (an increase of 56.0% from the same period of the previous year).

Explanation of Financial Position

At the end of the first six months of the current fiscal year, total assets were ¥25,510 million, down ¥482 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was primarily due to a decrease of ¥3,257 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of ¥498 million in trade accounts receivable, an increase of ¥2,358 million in buildings and structures, net, and an increase of ¥209 million in lease deposits receivable.

Total liabilities were ¥21,377 million, down ¥869 million from the end of the previous year. This was mainly due to a decrease of ¥943 million in accrued corporate tax payable, a decrease of ¥934 million in allowances for business structure improvements, and an increase of ¥1,256 million in loans payable.

Net assets were ¥4,133 million, up ¥387 million from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was largely due to an increase of ¥516 million in net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company and ¥312 million in surplus distributed as dividends. Retained earnings increased by ¥204 million, and share capital and legal capital surplus increased by ¥71 million respectively due to the exercise of stock acquisition rights. Additionally, the capital equity ratio increased by 2.0 points from the end of the previous fiscal year to 15.6%.

(Changes in Accounting Estimates and Changes in Accounting Policies that are Difficult to Distinguish from Changes in Accounting Estimates)

(Changes in depreciation methods; changes in the number of years of useful life; changes in estimates of asset retirement obligations)

In the past, we used the declining balance method to depreciate key tangible fixed assets but as of the consolidated cumulative first quarter we have changed to the straight-line method.

This change in accounting policy has been triggered by the creation of long-term stability in our business environment, as we have determined an increase in the demand for our business lines thanks to changing consumer preferences. This has allowed us to review our store strategy and open significantly more restaurants, while at the same time withdrawing from fewer. In light of these internal and external environmental changes, we examined the consumption pattern of economic benefits related to store facilities, which constitute our main assets. The result of these examinations led us to expect that our assets would be used in a stable manner over a long period of time, with equal consumption over the course of their useful lives; thus we decided to change to the straight-line method of depreciation, as we believe it better reflects our consumption patterns.

Furthermore, the useful life for conventional store facilities, etc. was primarily based on the number of years stipulated under the Corporate Tax Law, but with the change in depreciation method we are reviewing the number of years of an asset’s useful life with effect from the consolidated cumulative first quarter. As a result, we have changed the useful life of buildings and structures such as store facilities—which was 18 years in the majority of cases—to 12 years in light of the estimated period of economic viability given the number of years that the store is expected to survive in operation.

In conjunction with that, we have also changed our estimates regarding the period of time before our store-related asset retirement obligations need to be fulfilled in order to take account of the number of years that a store is expected to survive in operation; note that these obligations are recorded as the obligation to restore a property to its original condition in line with store real estate lease contracts.

With the changes above, operating income, ordinary income, and pre-tax income for the first six months of the current fiscal year have each increased by ¥136 million compared to calculations under the previous depreciation method.

(Changes in Estimates of Business Structure Improvement Allowances)

The Company recorded reasonable estimates in the previous consolidated fiscal year for anticipated losses to be incurred in business structure improvements for consolidated subsidiaries. These mainly contained any lease payments that could not be canceled and that we did not expect to be able to recover through sales or sub-leasing, etc., i.e., payments stipulated in building lease agreements connected with unprofitable stores and stores scheduled for closure. Subsequently, we revised our accounting estimates as we obtained new information thanks to progress made in business structure improvements, through negotiations with landlords who had signed building lease agreements, etc.; information that allowed us to calculate more accurate estimates. In conjunction with this, we have recorded the difference between the previous estimate and the current estimate under Extraordinary Income for the first six months of the current fiscal year.

As a result, quarterly net income before taxes increased by ¥477 million in the first six months of the current fiscal year.

(Additional Information)

(Application of “Partial Amendments to Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting”)

“Partial Amendments to Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting” (ASBJ Statement No. 28; February 16, 2018) have been applied since the start of the first quarter of the current fiscal year. Deferred tax assets are shown under “Investments and Other Assets,” while deferred tax liabilities are shown under “Non-current Liabilities.”
