Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Sales of planners in Japan and overseas increased as the Hobonichi Techo product lineup and collaborations were expanded, the app was launched, new users were acquired, and external e-commerce and wholesale sales were expanded. Sales of products other than the planners declined because of the difference in the timing of the Seikatsu no Tanoshimi-ten lifestyle event and lower sales of fashion-related products. The cost ratio improved for both planners and other products, and related expenses also declined because of the difference in the event's timing.

The reasons the company gives

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

Planner sales in Japan and overseas increased as the Hobonichi Techo lineup was expanded, collaborations were carried out with brands, IP properties and artists, new users were acquired through the app, and sales through external e-commerce sites and wholesale channels were expanded. In addition, the cost ratio improved for products other than the Hobonichi Techo, while related expenses declined because of the difference in the timing of the Seikatsu no Tanoshimi-ten lifestyle event.
