Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Revenue increased due to expanded demand for “FREEZE TECH” through sports e-commerce channels and strengthened sales channels centered on home-improvement stores in functional apparel; initial adoption of “ヘドロトルネード” by major chains and the promotional effects of “さよならダニー” in toiletries; and the effects of major promotions for “デンティス,” new flavors, 20th-anniversary commemorative products, e-commerce hits and expanded sales of limited-edition products for Don Quijote in other brands, in cosmetics.
