      (Notes) 1.Net sales and Segment income or loss by segment (operating income or loss) are figures before the elimination of intersegment transactions.

  2. In the past, when leasing part of the Company's retail real estate to other companies, real estate leasing revenues and real estate leasing expenses were included in the "Business Wear Business" Segment. However, from the first three months of the current fiscal year, they are now included in the "Real Estate Business" Segment.

This change was made in order to more appropriately present the actual state of each business, because real estate rental income is expected to increase due to an increase in some rental properties in retail real estate, and the division that centrally manages and operates the Company's rental real estate has decided to appropriately manage the profitability of some rental properties in retail real estate.

Segment information for the third quarter of the previous fiscal year has been prepared based on the new classifications.

During the third quarter of the fiscal year (from April 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025), the Japanese economy showed a moderate recovery, partly due to improvements in the employment and income environment and the effects of various government policies.

On the other hand, there are concerns about the risk of a downturn in the economy due to a decline in consumer sentiment caused by the continued rise in prices.

Under these circumstances, the performance of the group was strong mainly in Credit Card Business, Total Repair Service Business and Franchisee Business, while it was weak in Business Wear Business and Printing and Media Business. The results of the group for the third quarter of the current fiscal year are as follows.

Net sales: 128.799 billion yen (96.8% YoY) Operating income: 2.297 billion yen (60.3% YoY) Ordinary income: 2.555 billion yen (63.9% YoY)

Profit attributable to owners of the parent: 413 million yen (24.7% YoY)

The operating results by segment are as follows.

Segment sales and income (loss) figures are before the elimination of inter-segment transactions.

Sales were 80.438 billion yen (93.5% YoY) and segment loss (operating loss) was 1.805 billion yen (segment profit [operating profit] was 338 million yen for the previous fiscal year).

In the Aoyama Trading Co., Ltd. Business Wear Business, which is the core division of this business, the main items of suits (excluding set-up suits.), the number of units sold was 553 thousand units, (88.7% YoY), and the average unit sales price was 36,180 yen, (104.3% YoY). As a result, sales at existing stores were 96.0% YoY.

High temperatures continued until mid-October, and sales of winter clothing such as autumn and winter suits and coats remained sluggish. Although sales fell year on year for the above reasons, the “Minna - no - Suit” launched in November contributed to the development of a new customer base. In addition, the gross profit ratio improved due to measures such as a review of appropriate prices.

Among the three policies set out in the Medium-term Management Plan, under the "OMO promotion" and "DX promotion," in October, we will introduce "DIGI-lab," a system that combines online and in-store inventory, to all "Yofuku-no-Aoyama" stores to accelerate the efficiency of in-store inventory and respond flexibly to changing consumers' lifestyles and purchasing behavior.

In this segment, sales were 4.065 billion yen (104.5% YoY) and segment profit (operating profit) was 1.944 billion yen (111.3% YoY) due to an increase in shopping transaction value and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses centered on outsourcing expenses.

  1. Overview of Financial Positions for the Current Consolidated Cumulative Quarter

    At the end of the third quarter of the fiscal year under review, current assets amounted to 170.24 billion yen, a decrease of 23.635 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease of 18.576 billion yen in Cash and deposits,

    4.135 billion yen in notes receivable - trade and accounts receivable - trade, and 1.1 billion yen in short-term investments.

    Non-current assets were 126.654 billion yen, an increase of 2.138 billion yen. This was mainly due to an increase of 2.371 billion yen in plant and equipment, 352 million yen in intangible assets, and 146 million yen in other under investments and other assets, despite a decrease of 766 million yen in property, leasehold and guarantee deposits.

    As a result, total assets decreased by 21.502 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 296.901 billion yen.

    Current liabilities decreased by 13.407 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 55.302 billion yen. This was mainly due to a decrease in notes and accounts payable - trade by 1.404 billion yen, electronically recorded obligations - operating by 2.967 billion yen, short-term loans payable by 9.872 billion yen, income taxes payable by 1.742 billion yen, provision for bonuses by 901 million yen, and other under current liabilities by 1.602 billion yen, despite an increase in current portion of bonds payable by 5 billion yen.

    Non-current liabilities were 68.257 billion yen, an increase of 52 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase of 5.163 billion yen in long-term borrowings, despite a decrease of 5 billion yen in bonds payable.

    As a result, total liabilities decreased by 13.355 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 123.56 billion yen.

    Total net assets were 173.34 billion yen, a decrease of 8.147 billion yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. This was

    mainly due to an increase of 605 million yen in valuation difference on available-for-sale securities, 613 million yen in foreign currency translation adjustment, and 909 million yen in remeasurements of defined benefit plans, despite a decrease of 7.367 billion yen in retained earnings and an increase of 2.963 billion yen in treasury shares, which is a contra-asset item.

  3. Notes to the Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements

(Notes Concerning Going Concern Assumption) Not applicable.

(Application of Special Accounting Methods for Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements)

Calculating Tax Expense

Tax expenses are calculated by reasonably estimating the effective tax rate after the application of tax effect accounting to net income before taxes for the consolidated fiscal year including the third quarterly consolidated accounting period, and multiplying profit before income taxes by the estimated effective tax rate.

(Additional Information)

(Change in presentation method)

In the past, when leasing part of the company's real estate for retail use to other companies, the net amount of real estate rental income and real estate rental expenses was recorded in "Selling, general and administrative expenses." However, from first quarter of the current consolidated cumulative period, the method has been changed to record it in "Net sales" and "Cost of sales".

This change was made in order to more appropriately present the actual state of each business, because real estate rental income is expected to increase due to an increase in some rental properties in retail real estate, and the division that centrally manages and operates the company's rental real estate has decided to appropriately manage the profitability of some rental properties in retail real estate.

To reflect this change in presentation, the quarterly consolidated financial statements for the previous consolidated cumulative third quarter have been reclassified.

As a result, in the consolidated statement of income in the third quarter of previous fiscal year, "Net sales" increased by 691 million yen, "Cost of sales" increased by 365 million yen, and "Selling, general and administrative expenses" increased by 325 million yen, respectively.

(Notes to Statement of Cash Flows)

The quarterly consolidated statement of cash flows for the third quarter of the current fiscal year has not been prepared. Depreciation (including depreciation related to intangible assets, excluding goodwill) and amortization of goodwill for the third quarter of the current fiscal year are as follows.

For the nine months of FY3/2025 (Apr. 1, 2024 to Dec. 31, 2024)

For the nine months of FY3/2026 (Apr. 1, 2025 to Dec. 31, 2025)

Depreciation 5,378 million yen 5,241 million yen

Amortization of goodwill 423 million yen 399 million yen

(Notes on Significant Changes in the Amount of Shareholders' Equity)

The company acquired 1,244,000 shares of board of directors based on the resolution of treasury shares at the meeting held on November 11, 2025.

As a result, treasury shares increased by 2.963 billion yen during the cumulative third quarter to 7.147 billion yen at the end of the period.

In the interim review conducted by the audit corporation, there were no matters in any material respect that would lead one to believe that the quarterly consolidated financial statements referred to above have not been prepared in accordance with Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Standards for Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements, etc. of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc., or in accordance with accounting standards for quarterly financial statements that are generally accepted in Japan. (However, the omission specified in Article 4, Paragraph 2 of the Standards for Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements, etc. is applied.)

Basis of the auditor's conclusions

We conducted our interim review in accordance with the standards for interim review generally accepted in Japan. Our responsibilities under the interim review standards are described in "Auditor's Responsibilities in the Interim Review of Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements." We are independent of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics in Japan (including the provisions applicable to the audit of financial statements of entities with a high degree of social influence) and carry out our other ethical responsibilities as an auditor. We believe that we have obtained the evidence on which our conclusions are based.

This includes designing and operating such internal controls as management deems necessary to prepare quarterly consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the quarterly consolidated financial statements, the management evaluated whether it was appropriate to prepare the quarterly consolidated financial statements based on the going concern assumption, and have responsibility to disclose the matters relating to the going concern when necessary based on the quarterly consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Standards for Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements, etc. of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. and the accounting standards for quarterly financial statements that are generally accepted in Japan (however, that the omission of a statement prescribed in Article 4, Paragraph 2 of the Standards for Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements, etc. was applied.)

  • We will mainly ask questions to the management, persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, etc., and conduct analytical procedures and other interim review procedures.

  • In cases where it is determined that there are material uncertainties regarding events or circumstances that may give rise to material doubts with respect to matters concerning the going concern assumption, based on the evidence, we will conclude whether a matter is inadmissible as not having been made in accordance with the quarterly consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Standards for Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements, etc. of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. and the accounting standards for quarterly financial statements that are generally accepted in Japan(However, the omission specified in Article 4, Paragraph 2 of the Standards for Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements, etc. is applied.).

The auditor's conclusions are based on evidence obtained up to the date of the interim review report. However, future events or circumstances may render the entity unable to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate whether there are matters that would lead one to believe that the presentation and notes of the quarterly consolidated financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Standards for Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements, etc. of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. and accounting standards for quarterly financial statements that are generally accepted in Japan (However, the omission specified in Article 4, Paragraph 2 of the Standards for Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements, etc. is applied.).
