Financial Results Presentation for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Performance Overview

For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue was 21,183 million yen, operating income was 868 million yen, and interim net income attributable to owners of parent was 504 million yen, representing year-on-year decreases of 1.4% in revenue, 37.2% in operating income, and 40.6% in net income. Although standalone 2Q profit was roughly on par with the same period last year, the first half overall recorded declines in both revenue and profit. By segment, the men's segment saw revenue growth driven by increased new customers, while the women's segment struggled to acquire new customers. As progress on the new medium-term management plan, the company is prioritizing investments to strengthen its customer base, production base, and human capital.

Outlook and Capital Policy

The second half is also positioned as a "preparation period," with continued prioritization of strategic investments. Measures to expand sales include launching key products, strengthening promotions, continuing trials of the Life Concierge service, and examining overseas expansion. Under capital policy, the company will conduct a share buyback totaling 300 million yen (up to 420,000 shares) to improve capital efficiency and support sustainable growth. The dividend policy is based on a consolidated payout ratio of 40% or more, with an annual dividend floor of 28 yen; if ROE exceeds 10%, the company will maintain a payout ratio of 50% or higher.
