Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Net sales declined due to disruptions to logistics systems and other infrastructure caused by the ransomware attack and the temporary suspension of order intake. The gross profit margin declined due to the priority shipment of low-margin products and sales promotion activities, while the selling, general and administrative expense ratio rose due to lower net sales and manual processing. Fixed costs were also incurred in connection with the launch of the ASKUL Kanto Distribution Center.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The main factor was the temporary suspension of order intake after the ransomware attack on 19 October 2025 disrupted logistics systems and other infrastructure. Other factors included a decline in the gross profit margin due to the priority shipment of low-margin products and sales promotion activities, an increase in the selling, general and administrative expense ratio due to lower net sales and manual processing, and fixed costs associated with the launch of the ASKUL Kanto Distribution Center.
