Gross profit was 71,578 hundred million yen, and operating income improved to 8,409 hundred million yen. Contributions from newly consolidated subsidiaries Right-on and World Style Labels were positive. However, weak performance in World Apparel impacted overall profitability, making continued MD reforms and efficiency improvements in inventory and SG&A urgent priorities. The full-year plan remains unchanged on the assumption of a recovery in the second half.\n\n### Growth Engines and Outlook\nThrough the VISION-W growth engines (M&A, IP alliances, overseas expansion), we aim to balance profitability and growth. Strengthening the supply chain centered on MC Fashion, leveraging IP such as Narumiya, and expanding overseas are in progress. In the second half, we will promote B2C recovery and structural reforms in B2B to improve ROIC and capital efficiency.","jir_financial_highlights":"Revenue: 142,489 (YoY: -1,011 (vs. prior period 99%))\nGross Profit: 71,578 (YoY: -2,622 (vs. prior period 96%))\nOperating Income: 8,409 (YoY: +409 (vs. prior period 105%))\nIncome Taxes: -1,357 (YoY: Unknown)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 5,877 (YoY: Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#GlobalRetailGroup, #Earnings, #SecondHalfPlan","jir_key_figures":"Revenue: 142,489 hundred million yen\nOperating Income: 8,409 hundred million yen\nNet Free Cash Flow: 5,296 hundred million yen\nVs. prior period: Revenue 99%, Operating Income 105%","jir_meta_title":"World Co., Ltd.
