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

Performance Overview

Group consolidated sales for February 2026 amounted to 15,814 million yen, representing a 3% increase compared to the same month last year. In the hotel business, despite sluggish sales growth due to rate control focusing on occupancy rates at urban hotels in the Hokkaido area, sales reached 3,235 million yen, up 43% year-over-year, driven by occupancy and acquisition effects from 'Sapporo Hotel by Granbell,' 'Hotel Zuiho,' and 'Akiu Grand Hotel.' Conversely, the apparel and accessories business experienced a decline, with sales totaling 4,358 million yen, down 11% year-over-year, affected by shipment delays caused by snowfall and restricted issuance of paper catalogues.

Segment Trends and Impact

The hotel business significantly benefited from contributions of newly acquired hotels, boosting overall sales. The apparel and accessories business saw declines as weather-related delays in the first half outweighed recovery in the latter half. Going forward, we plan to improve profitability by adapting to environmental changes in each business segment.
