Duty-free sales significantly declined due to travel restrictions for visitors from China and operational differences during the Lunar New Year, resulting in about a 30% decrease compared to the same month in the period from March 2024 to February 2025, which recorded the highest sales on record. Conversely, visitors from other countries, such as Taiwan, Korea, and Thailand, increased sales partly due to the weak yen. Sales to domestic customers were strong, with luxury brands up about 6% and women's apparel up about 8%, achieving overall sales comparable to the previous year.\n\n### Future Challenges and Measures\nIt is important to continue strengthening customer engagement from a broad range of countries while promoting measures to encourage visits from the core domestic customer base to drive sales expansion. Various initiatives aimed at recovering duty-free sales and expanding domestic demand are expected to impact future performance.","jir_financial_highlights":"Ginza Flagship Store Sales: -16.3% (Approximately 16% decrease year-over-year)\nGinza Flagship Store Domestic Customer Sales: Unknown (Approximately 6% increase YoY (luxury brands), women's apparel approximately 8% increase)\nGinza Flagship Store Number of Visitors: -6.4% (Year-over-year)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Matsuya, #MonthlySalesReport, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Ginza Flagship Store Sales Year-over-Year Change: -16.3%\nGinza Flagship Store Domestic Customer Sales Growth: Luxury brands approximately 6% increase, women's apparel approximately 8% increase\nGinza Flagship Store Number of Visitors Year-over-Year Change: -6.4%","jir_meta_title":"Matsuya Co., Ltd.
