Notice on Monthly Sales Year-on-Year Comparison and Store Count Trend for August 2026 Interim Period

Performance overview

This notice summarizes monthly year-on-year sales comparisons and store-count trends for Watts, covering the first half and second half of the August 2026 period. Because the figures are preliminary and unaudited, there is a possibility of retroactive revisions. The report presents YoY sales by all stores, company-operated stores, and existing stores, along with movements in openings and closures.

Impact on shareholders and outlook

From the monthly trend, there is a growth tendency at the all-store level, and the increase in openings suggests ongoing business expansion. However, given the preliminary nature of the data, it is not final and carries revision risk in future earnings announcements. Investors should note that store strategy and sales performance may influence future profitability.
