Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

In Japan, skincare products such as "Rohto V5," "Hada Labo" and "CareCera," as well as eye drops for younger consumers and premium eye drops, performed well. Overseas, ユーヤンサン・インターナショナル, China, Vietnam and Malaysia, among others, performed well. Operating income increased due to the effect of higher sales, while the cost ratio improved as a result of price revisions for "Hada Labo" and a higher in-house production ratio. Ordinary income and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent declined due to a year-on-year decrease following the one-time dividend income recorded in the previous fiscal year.
