Items this document does not state (14)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.For the fiscal year ended March 2026, the bookstore division faced challenging conditions, but the trading card, Surugaya, and stationery, general merchandise and food divisions performed well, resulting in higher sales. SG&A expenses increased due to higher personnel expenses and sales commissions, but the increase in gross profit was greater. Net profit included an impairment loss of ¥50 million and a deferred income tax adjustment loss of ¥61 million, while a gain on the sale of investment securities of ¥182 million was recorded. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company expects continued investment in Surugaya and trading card stores and smart unmanned operations, higher SG&A expenses, and challenging sales in its core bookstore division.
