Net income fell 10.6% to ¥3.9bn on a one-off ¥1.23bn special payment to two retiring directors.

  • JapanDomestic apparel and goods sales rose 5.4% to ¥70.8bn, 88% of the group; the company credits warm weather lifting casual demand, TV ads and point promotions, plus Karrimor, acquired in April 2025.
  • JapanAdastria's physical-store sales rose 6.6%; Repsim grew 18.5%, but the largest brand, GLOBAL WORK (¥14.9bn), managed only 2.4%, a recovery management calls 'halfway'.
  • StoresAND ST opened 23 stores in Japan and closed five, ending May with 1,462 domestic stores, a count that includes 111 web stores; 12 stores were refitted group-wide.
  • One-offThe company puts the net-income decline down to a one-off ¥1.23bn special merit payment to two retiring directors, booked as an extraordinary loss alongside ¥71mn of store impairments.
  • BasisOverseas sales fell 12.6% only because the US business was exited in July 2025; excluding the US they rose 20.2% in yen and 13.3% in local currency, with Taiwan leading.
  • OutlookFull-year guidance of ¥314.0bn revenue and ¥17.2bn operating profit was kept even though first-quarter operating profit ran about ¥1.5bn ahead of plan, citing second-half currency and cost risks.
