This month's domestic retail sales declined by 1% YoY, store sales remained steady, but e-commerce sales fell below the previous year to 94.0%.

The document also includes monthly data on openings\/closings and M&A impact.\n\n### Outlook and Implications for Investors\nAlthough weather-related factors have not fully reversed, the MD reform's effects stabilizing and the strength of general merchandise brands are expected to contribute to future growth. Ongoing importance lies in monitoring openings strategy and existing-store performance, with challenges including improving e-commerce sales and optimizing MD quality and quantity. Attention is also needed regarding the impact of consolidating subsidiaries from the fiscal year ending March 2026.","jir_financial_highlights":"Domestic retail sales (monthly overview of domestic retail sales): Unknown (YoY \u25b31 (reference))\nStore sales: Unknown (YoY Unknown (not disclosed in monthly overview))\nE-commerce sales: Unknown (YoY 94.0% (for the month))\nStore openings: Unknown (Openings this month 41, closings 17)\nStores (end of period): Unknown (Revised in the second half)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#WorldCoLtd, #sales_update, #JPStock","jir_key_figures":"Domestic retail sales monthly overview: This month = Unknown\nStore sales: This month = Unknown\nE-commerce sales: This month = 94.0% YoY","jir_meta_title":"World Co., Ltd.
