The retail segment posted net sales of 45.573 billion yen (up 17.9% YoY) and operating income of 2.601 billion yen (up 21.0% YoY); despite temporary opportunity losses due to the relocation of EC logistics warehouses, new customer acquisition led to increased revenue and profit. The global segment achieved net sales of 3.998 billion yen (up 31.0% YoY), but the opening expenses related to the Hong Kong flagship store resulted in an operating loss of 327 million yen (a loss of 70 million yen in the same period last year).
