Because the figures are preliminary and unaudited, there is a possibility of retroactive revisions. The report presents YoY sales by all stores, company-operated stores, and existing stores, along with movements in openings and closures.\n\n### Impact on shareholders and outlook\nFrom the monthly trend, there is a growth tendency at the all-store level, and the increase in openings suggests ongoing business expansion. However, given the preliminary nature of the data, it is not final and carries revision risk in future earnings announcements. Investors should note that store strategy and sales performance may influence future profitability.","jir_financial_highlights":"Sales YoY comparison: 104.4% - 109.9% (monthly range) (Month-over-month range of +104.4% to +109.9%)\nTotal store sales YoY comparison: 106.9% (Cumulative for the first half)\nNumber of stores opened: 16\u201319 (trend) (Month-over-month increasing trend)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#WattsIR, #MonthlyTrend, #StoreCountTrend","jir_key_figures":"Sales YoY: 104.4%\u301c109.9% (monthly)\nTotal store sales YoY: 106.9%\nNumber of stores opened: 16\u301c19 (trend)","jir_meta_title":"Watts Monthly YoY Sales and Store Count Trend Published | August 2026","jir_meta_description":"Watts announces monthly YoY sales and store count trend for August 2026.
