In December 2025, total store sales increased 103.4% YoY, while existing stores recorded 99.8% YoY. Sales of winter merchandise remained firm, though existing stores fell slightly short of the previous year. On March 1, 2025, Adastria absorbed Today's Special Co., Ltd., resulting in a net increase in total store sales. Brands such as Global Work, niko and..., LEPSIM, and HARE performed well, with strong demand for cold-weather outerwear, knit tops, boots, household goods including blankets, and collaboration products.\n\n### Store Expansion and Influencing Factors\nIn fiscal 2025, store openings totaled 56 while closures were 24, resulting in an increasing store count. There were 1,267 directly managed stores, 6 franchise stores, and 62 WEB store locations as of February 2026. The earthquake off the east coast of Aomori Prefecture in December 2025 caused temporary closures or shortened hours at 8 stores, but the impact on sales was minimal. The effect of having one fewer holiday compared to the prior year was also estimated to be minor due to the year-end and New Year holiday period.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total Store Sales YoY Growth (December 2025): 103.4% (Year-over-Year)\nExisting Store Sales YoY Growth (December 2025): 99.8% (Year-over-Year)\nNumber of Stores (Directly Managed): 1,267 stores (As of February 2026)\nNumber of Stores (Franchise): 6 stores (As of February 2026)\nNumber of WEB Store Locations: 62 stores (As of February 2026)\nNumber of Openings (Full Fiscal Year 2025): 56 stores (Unknown)\nNumber of Closures (Full Fiscal Year 2025): 24 stores (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#AdastriaCoLtd, #MonthlySalesYoYGrowth, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"December 2025 Total Store Sales YoY Growth: 103.4%\nDecember 2025 Existing Store Sales YoY Growth: 99.8%\nFebruary 2026 Number of Directly Managed Stores: 1,267 stores","jir_meta_title":"Adastria Co., Ltd.
