Key Points of Performance
The consolidated full-year earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending August 2026 has been revised downward. Net sales are projected at 6,364 hundred million yen, operating income at 163 hundred million yen, ordinary income at 147 hundred million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent at 32 hundred million yen. All major indicators have declined compared with the prior forecast. Rising cost of goods sold and increases in selling, general and administrative expenses, including personnel expenses, have weighed on profits. The dividend policy remains unchanged, with a planned year-end dividend of 70 yen per share.
Outlook and Impact
Sluggish sales growth and rising costs have led to downward pressure on profit levels. While the POPKIT consumer subscription service and digital/SNS-related service offerings remained solid, sales of the POPGALLERY product line and custom-ordered products fell below the prior-year period, affecting overall revenue. The dividend will be maintained. Cost management focusing on raw materials and personnel expenses will be a priority going forward.
