Notice Regarding January Monthly Sales Year-over-Year Comparison (Preliminary Figures)

Overview of Monthly Sales

Consolidated group sales for January 2026 amounted to JPY 15,554 million, representing a 10% increase compared to the same month last year. Although the hotel business saw a decline in ADR due to price drops in the Kansai area caused by a decrease in Chinese tourists visiting Japan, sales increased by 51% year-over-year to JPY 3,413 million thanks to higher occupancy rates and the operational and acquisition effects of 'Sapporo Hotel by Granbell', 'Hotel Zuiho', and 'Akiu Grand Hotel'. The wine business also performed well with strong new customer acquisition through e-commerce channels, achieving sales of JPY 845 million, an 11% increase year-over-year.

Segment Trends and Future Outlook

The hotel business achieved revenue growth driven mainly by contributions from newly acquired hotels, implementing a rate control strategy focused on occupancy rates. The wine business continues its growth trend supported by e-commerce channel expansion. However, the impact of reduced Chinese inbound tourism is observed in some regions, requiring careful monitoring going forward. Overall, the group’s sales base remains solid, and the company intends to continue promoting growth across each segment.
