World Co., Ltd.: Domestic Retail Monthly Sales Overview (Fiscal Year Ending February 2027)

Performance Overview

This document provides a monthly sales overview for the domestic retail business covering the full-year period from March 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027. An increase in the number of holidays compared with the same month last year was viewed as approximately a 2.4% positive factor. Demand for autumn merchandise strengthened, and the main brands' merchandise planning reforms and promotional measures contributed. EC saw growth in preorders, while promotional sale volumes lagged due to price restraint and light inventory.

Future Sales Composition and Impact for Shareholders

Store sales growth was driven by the introduction of autumn and new items and the promotion of fairs, and same-store sales remained solid year-over-year. E-commerce continues to be an important channel, and next fiscal year's growth potential depends on capturing preorder demand and optimizing inventory management. For shareholders, it is important to maintain a balance between the store network and EC while continuing brand strengthening and merchandise planning reforms.
