Performance\nTakashimaya's same-store sales for March 2026 increased by 7.8% YoY, tax-free sales rose by 6.9%, and in-store sales excluding tax-free showed a 7.9% increase. February results, affected by sales adjustments, reflected an effective YoY growth of 2.1%, while March achieved 6.9%. Same-store sales through April 14 remained robust at a 6.4% increase compared to the prior year. Domestic customers outperformed the previous year due to strong sales of spring apparel and food events. While inbound sales from China were impacted by travel suspension requests, growth from other countries led to overall improvements over last year.\n\n### Business Segment Trends and Future Outlook\nThe corporate business fell below the previous year's results due to the absence of large orders recorded last year, while the cross-media business saw steady performance in mail order catalogs but weakness in other segments, resulting in a year-over-year decline overall. By product category, apparel, men's and women's clothing, accessories, and art\/jewelry performed well, whereas fresh foods, household goods, and electronics showed a downward trend. Looking ahead, the company plans to strengthen existing stores while closely monitoring domestic and international customer trends.","jir_financial_highlights":"Sales (Same-Store Comparison): +7.8% (YoY +7.8%)\nTax-Free Sales: +6.9% (YoY +6.9%)\nSame-Store Sales through April 14: +6.4% (YoY +6.4%)\nCorporate Business Sales: Unknown (Below previous year's results)\nCross-Media Business Sales: Unknown (Below previous year's results)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Takashimaya, #MonthlySales, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Same-store Sales YoY: +7.8%\nTax-Free Sales YoY: +6.9%\nSame-store Sales through April 14 YoY: +6.4%","jir_meta_title":"Takashimaya March 2026 Same-Store Sales Up 7.8% | Strong Momentum Continues into April","jir_meta_description":"Takashimaya's March 2026 same-store sales rose 7.8% YoY, supported by a 6.9% increase in tax-free sales.
