Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

In the B2C Business, growth in Circular revenue and the newly consolidated Right-on and ワールドスタイルレーベルズ contributed to higher revenue and profit, while sluggish summer apparel sales had a negative impact. In the B2B Business, the expansion of external sales by エムシーファッション and TCN Co.,Ltd. drove profit. In the Common Division, costs associated with the leaseback and enhanced shareholder benefits, as well as upfront investment in human capital and new business development, became factors behind the decline in profit. Profit before finance and income taxes declined due to the absence of the gain on the valuation of the option value related to Right-on 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.

Revenue benefited from the growth of Circular businesses other than apparel and the revenue contribution from the newly consolidated Right-on and ワールドスタイルレーベルズ. On the profit side, the expansion of external sales in the B2B Business and improved profitability at the 2 newly consolidated companies contributed positively, while sluggish summer apparel sales and upfront investment by the Common Division had a negative impact. Profit before finance and income taxes declined due to the absence of the gain on the valuation of Right-on's option value recorded in the same period of the previous year.
