The employment and personal income environment in Japan remained stable, supporting a gradual economic recovery throughout the current consolidated fiscal year. However, personal consumption faced downside risks as the ongoing weak yen and labor shortages continued to drive up food, raw materials, and energy costs. The outlook for the global economy as a whole remains uncertain due to U.S. tariff policies and the international landscape.

Against this backdrop, the and ST HD Group aims to position our e-commerce site and ST, as the driving force to generate synergies across group companies, as outlined in Medium-Term Management Plan 2030, announced in April 2025. In doing so, we aim to evolve into a Play fashion! platformer that expands our reach through collaboration with customers and external partners.

Consolidated net sales amounted to 304,351 million yen (up 3.8% year on year), operating profit was 16,524 million yen (up 6.5%), while ordinary profit was 16,827 million yen (up 5.4%) and net income attributable to owners of the parent was 9,498

million yen (down 1.2%). Pursuing our growth strategy, we expanded brands and categories through M&A, opened our own ecommerce site to products from other companies, and opened physical stores overseas. As a result, sales increased while net income attributable to owners of the parent decreased due to extraordinary losses. Sales and profit performance did not meet our initial forecasts due to challenges in responding to climate change in Japan and overseas, as well as the impact of the performance of major brands.

Net sales for casual fashion in the Apparel and Sundries Related Business in Japan were affected by unseasonal temperatures in April and September, which slowed the start of seasonal clothing; however, demand for casual fashion remained firm. Net sales in Japan increased 4.0% year on year, supported by a diverse product lineup driven by the multi-brand, multi-company strategy, along with promotions including TV commercials and points-reward programs. M&A also contributed to a net increase of four months for two brands, TODAY'S SPECIAL and GEORGE'S, which joined the group in July 2024, and a net increase for

KARRIMOR International Ltd., which joined the group in April 2025.

Under our platform strategy, we expanded promotional initiatives linking and ST with physical stores, and developed collaboration products with well-known characters and popular staff. As a result, membership in the shared point system for ecommerce and physical stores grew by 2 million from the end of the previous fiscal year to 21.7 million, and the number of active members reached 7.8 million. The number of brands and gross merchandise value also increased under the open-mall model on and ST, which allows external brands to list their products.

Overseas net sales (converted to yen) increased 18.6% year on year in mainland China, driven by strong performance in our cross-channel strategy to raise brand recognition through the opening of cost-efficient standard-format stores and to generate earnings through e-commerce, despite ongoing pressure from the real estate downturn and weak consumer sentiment. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, new store openings and e-commerce under the multi-brand strategy continued to perform well, resulting in year-on-year sales growth of 1.3% and 25.2%, respectively. We completed the equity interest transfer of Velvet, LLC, an operating subsidiary (sub-subsidiary) in the U.S., on July 25, 2025, withdrawing from the business. As a result, sales in our

U.S. business declined 44.3%. New store openings in Thailand and the Philippines led to higher net sales, while the overseas business overall recorded a 0.3% year-on-year decrease in net sales, impacted by the decrease in sales in the U.S.

Sales in Other (food and beverage business) increased 1.1% year on year, despite continued challenges in the food service industry, including rising raw material and utility costs and labor shortages. This result was supported by steady performance at existing stores and a net increase in new stores, including overseas locations, contributing to the increase in sales, despite the negative impact of the change in fiscal year-end and fewer months included in our results.

Given the upward pressure on costs due to the depreciating yen, we endeavored to control inventory and reduce costs by offering products at the right time, right price, and right volume. We also expanded our highly profitable platform business in

line with our growth strategy. At the same time, gross profit margin in the Apparel and Sundries Related Business declined year on year due to lower-than-expected full-price sales due to the year-round impact of the weather. In Other (food and beverage business), rising costs of materials, etc., outpaced our efforts to revise prices and reduce costs, resulting in a lower gross profit margin. As a result, consolidated gross profit margin declined 0.1 percentage points year on year to 54.6%.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased due to factors including stepped-up promotions, advertising expenses for new flagship store openings, higher personnel expenses due to improved employee compensation, and an increase in depreciation and amortization in line with new store openings and M&A. However, overall efficiency gains helped us hold SG&A ratio to within 0.3 percentage points at 49.1%.

As a result, operating profit margin rose 0.1 percentage points to 5.4% while operating profit increased 6.5% year on year.

We recorded 2 million yen in foreign exchange gains as non-operating income, 3,446 million yen in gain on sale of non-current assets as extraordinary income in connection with the sale of the Fukuoka Distribution Center, and extraordinary losses that included 2,502 million yen in impairment loss on intangible assets associated with goodwill, 1,137 million yen in impairment loss related to stores, and 695 million yen in loss on sales of shares in subsidiaries and affiliates in connection with the transfer of interest in Velvet, LLC.

Business segment performance was as follows.

  1. Apparel and Sundries Related Business

    Net sales amounted to 289,770 million yen (up 4.0% year on year) and segment profit was 17,301 million yen (up 3.7%).

    We opened 108 new stores (including 35 overseas) and closed 53 locations (including 6 overseas). As a result, the segment operated 1,601 stores (including 157 locations overseas) as of the end of the current consolidated fiscal year.

  2. Other (Food and Beverage Business)

Net sales amounted to 14,759 million yen (up 1.0% year on year) and segment loss was 474 million yen (compared with a segment loss of 717 million yen in the previous fiscal year).

The segment operated 73 stores as of the end of the fiscal year. We opened 3 new locations and closed 6.
