19.4%(37.5%)(32.1%)(41.3%)In its FY2022-2024 Medium-term Management Plan, the Oji Group has set the basic policy of "Growth to Evolution" as theLong-term Vision for 2030, and is promoting "Initiatives for Environmental Issues -Sustainability-", "Initiatives for Profitability
Improvement -Profitability-" and "Initiatives for Product Development -Green Innovation-" to achieve the consolidated
operating profit of ¥150.0 billion or more by FY2024 and stably maintain consolidated profit attributable to owners of parent of¥100.0 billion or more.
Based on this basic policy, we will continue our efforts on environmental issues by promoting greenhouse gas reduction andexpanding net CO2 absorption by forests, as countermeasures against climate change. At the same time, we will enhance thevalue of our business by deepening the existing businesses through the establishment of an optimal production system, andexpanding the highly-expected businesses including overseas packaging business and eco-friendly products. Furthermore, wewill develop and quickly commercialize new wood-derived products and materials such as eco-friendly materials and products,
based on a range of core technologies we have cultivated through paper manufacturing and forestation. We will continue tocontribute to society as a company that "grows and manages the sustainable forest, develops and delivers the products fromrenewable forest and brings this world a brighter future filled with hope”.
Consolidated net sales for the first nine months of FY2022 increased by ¥211.1 billion to ¥1,296.7 billion (year-on-yearincrease of 19.4%) due to a recovery in demand, resulting from the resumption of economic activities that had been stagnant
due to the spread of COVID-19, a rise in the pulp market, and the implementation of price revision in response to the impact of
the recent sharp rise in raw material and fuel prices. Overseas sales ratio increased by 6.4 points from the previous year to38.7%.
Consolidated operating profit decreased by ¥35.8 billion to ¥59.5 billion (year-on-year decrease of 37.5%) due to the significant
impact of higher raw material and fuel prices in spite of the price revision mentioned above and an increase in sales volume.
Ordinary profit decreased by ¥32.3 billion to ¥68.5 billion (year-on-year decrease of 32.1%) despite foreign exchange gains
from revaluation of foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables. Profit before taxes decreased by ¥37.4 billion to ¥64.2 billion (year-on-year decrease of 36.8%), and profit attributable to owners of parent decreased by ¥27.5 billion to ¥39.1
billion (year-on-year decrease of 41.3%) .
