Q1 2027 Financial Results for the Year Ending March 2027 (Japanese GAAP) (Consolidated)

Overview of results

As the first year of the new medium-term management plan, we promoted initiatives such as 'building an organization with a strong sense of ownership' to maintain and improve customer value per visit. Although new customers visited slightly fewer times, retention of existing customers remained solid. By implementing a 60-minute trial and revising trial pricing (1,500 yen → 3,500 yen) to pursue enhanced customer service opportunities and quality, revenue rose only slightly while costs increased, squeezing profits. Consolidated net sales for the first quarter were 2,229,819 thousand yen, operating loss was △6,299 thousand yen, and net loss attributable to owners of the parent was △19,077 thousand yen.

Outlook and financial position

Direct-operated store sales reached 2,080,042 thousand yen, up 1.0% year over year, while increases in selling, general and administrative expenses continued to press on profits. Current assets were 4,729,750 thousand yen, liabilities 2,947,549 thousand yen, and net assets 5,617,476 thousand yen. The equity ratio remained high at 65.5%. However, there are no revisions to the initial full-year and current-year forecasts. We will continue to pursue cost optimization and higher profitability.
