Fiscal Year Ending February 2027 First-Quarter Earnings Briefing <Reference Materials>

In the first quarter of FY2027/2, gross sales and business profit exceeded the same period of the previous year, while operating profit and profit for the quarter attributable to owners of the parent declined. The decrease in operating profit was due mainly to the absence of gains on the sale of fixed assets recorded in the same period of the previous year.

The reasons the company gives

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

The department store business increased revenue as growth in sales to sales associates and duty-free sales offset the closure of sales floors during the large-scale renovation of the Umeda store and the decline following the Expo-related sales recorded in the previous year. Operating profit declined due mainly to the absence of the approximately ¥1.8 billion gain on the sale of fixed assets recorded in the same period of the previous year and the absence of gains from winding down the former Matsumoto PARCO business in the SC business.
