Overview of Financial Results
Net sales for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending May 2026 were ¥286.877 billion, a decrease to 79.9% Year-over-Year. Operating income posted a substantial loss of ¥12.284 billion. The main factors were service disruptions caused by ransomware attacks and declining logistics efficiency. Gross profit margin also temporarily declined due to large-scale promotional activities. The ratio of logistics expenses worsened, and one-time costs were incurred for logistics center reorganization and core system replacements.
Outlook and Shareholder Returns
For the fiscal year ending May 2027, we anticipate recovery in customer numbers through continued large-scale promotions, aiming for increased net sales and improved gross profit margin. Efforts will also continue to improve logistics efficiency and reduce fixed costs, targeting a V-shaped recovery. The year-end dividend is planned at ¥10 per share, reflecting the shareholder return policy and financial position. To strengthen security, a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) position has been established to enhance information management systems.
