Front Retailing Co., Ltd. discloses segment-level trends for September 2026. In the department store business, sales continued to decline year-over-year due to impacts such as floor area reductions at the Umeda store, while duty-free sales remained firm; overall domestic sales decreased. In the SC business, PARCO stores benefited from the Golden Week holiday effect, renovation effects, and capturing inbound visitors, resulting in a 11.5% year-over-year increase across all stores. The developer, payment, financial and other segments produced mixed results with differing impacts across divisions.\n\n### Outlook and Impact for Shareholders\nGrowth in duty-free sales and renovation effects at some stores are expected to provide short-term promotional benefits, while negative impacts from floor area reductions at the Umeda store are likely to continue. Monitor demand trends across segments. The official materials do not provide specific dated numerical indicators, so additional information is necessary for investment decisions.","jir_financial_highlights":"Consolidated Revenue (IFRS): Unknown (Unknown)\nSegment Revenue (Year-over-Year change): Unknown (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#JFrontRetailing, #EarningsRelease","jir_key_figures":"Revenue (IFRS): Unknown\nDuty-free sales: Unknown\nPARCO store tenant transaction volume: Unknown","jir_meta_title":"J.
