「This fiscal year, the Company is pursuing 4 key initiatives: “turning around its existing wholesale business,” “strengthening its retail business,” “planning and proposing distinctive product lines,” and “collaborating with companies in other industries.” As a result, revenue for the 9-month period ended 31 December was ¥43,271 million, up 14.8% year on year.」

「Revenue for the cumulative second quarter of the current consolidated fiscal year was ¥26,903 million, up 17.1% year on year. However, operating loss was ¥548 million, compared with an operating loss of ¥699 million in the same period of the previous year, ordinary loss was ¥449 million, compared with an ordinary loss of ¥632 million, and quarterly net loss attributable to owners of the parent was ¥563 million, compared with a net loss of ¥726 million. Losses narrowed, but the company did not return to profitability, mainly because of higher raw material prices, excess capacity resulting from the forced shift of production back to China due to lockdowns in ASEAN countries, and higher costs caused by customers' demands for shorter lead times and lower prices.」

「Against this backdrop, we are pursuing the following priority measures for the current fiscal year: “recovery of the existing wholesale business,” “strengthening the retail business,” “planning and proposing distinctive product lines,” and “collaboration with companies in other industries.” Specifically, we are beginning to achieve results through total casualwear planning for women and men being developed with a major GMS, e-commerce sales of internally developed products, and coordination-planning initiatives using influencers with a major specialty-store chain. However, we believe that these efforts need to be strengthened further and that products capable of communicating shared values must be developed. Meanwhile, supported by increased sales of medical isolation gowns by an affiliated company and the addition of logistics operations from other companies, group revenue was ¥14,650 million, up 25.0% year on year; operating income was ¥124 million, compared with an operating loss of ¥173 million in the same period of the previous year; ordinary income was ¥195 million, compared with an ordinary loss of ¥142 million; and profit attributable to owners of the parent for the quarter was ¥132 million, compared with a loss of ¥249 million.」

「Going forward, under the theme of “Back Home (Back to Basics),” we will strengthen proposals for high-value-added product lines and make every effort to recover sales and improve and raise earning power.」

「To restore earning power, it is essential to increase sales of high-value-added product lines.」

「Rather than pursuing revenue growth alone, we will use the information systems upgraded last fiscal year to carefully determine the appropriate balance between selling prices and costs at each stage from order receipt through ordering and procurement, and work to secure appropriate profit for each product and customer.」

「For the OEM and ODM businesses that have traditionally been our strengths, we will focus on providing products that communicate individuality and distinctive features to consumers. We will work on planning and proposing products with high value in terms of materials, design, functionality and, above all, fashion appeal, with the aim of recovering market share.」

「Under these circumstances, during the current fiscal year, first, to expand our share of sales, we have worked to develop new accounts and deepen relationships with highly growth-oriented specialty retailers and others, led by the women's sales group launched in the previous fiscal year.」

「First, to expand our share of sales, the women's sales group launched last fiscal year is taking the lead in developing new accounts and deepening relationships with high-growth specialty stores and similar customers. We expect these efforts to produce full-scale results going forward.」

「We have worked to increase revenue.」
