The Japanese economy in the fiscal year under review showed signs of a gentle recovery overall with capital investment strengthening against the backdrop of robust corporate earnings and spending by foreign visitors to Japan, which expanded despite being affected by recent developments in Japan-China relations, which together offset the impact of U.S. trade policies. Although prices saw further increases, personal consumption remained resilient due to asset and other effects, in an environment of improving employment and income conditions.
On the other hand, conditions remained uncertain due to such factors as heightened geopolitical risk driving anxiety about the outlook for domestic and overseas economies, and intensifying concern about the downward pressure on consumer sentiment caused by rising prices.
Under these circumstances, with the aim of achieving our goal of transforming into a “Value Co-creation Retailer” by 2030, the Company is focusing on further deepening the retail businesses, evolving Group synergies, and strengthening the Group’s management foundation in the Medium-term Business Plan (FY2024-FY2026).
As part of efforts to further deepen the retail business, we focused on enhancing the appeal of stores as key customer touchpoints. In the Department Store Business, we advanced a large-scale renovation of the Matsuzakaya Nagoya store aimed at cultivating loyalty among existing customers and attracting next-generation customers, and finished the renewal of the Main Building and North Building. We embarked on a large-scale renovation of the Daimaru Umeda store in October 2025, aiming to assert a new presence in Umeda, which is the largest commercial area in western Japan, and to improve profitability.
In terms of strengthening our response to the affluent market, in addition to broadening the area of out-of-store activities aimed at growing the customer base, we worked to expand content through such initiatives as planning new campaigns and experiences. The official store opened at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, was well received by customers due to a spatial design that allows visitors to experience Japanese culture, as well as original products developed and expanded through the discernment of our employees.
In the SC Business, we promoted strategic renovations, focusing mainly on flagship stores such as Shibuya PARCO, Hiroshima PARCO, and Sendai PARCO. In particular, at Shibuya PARCO we completed the first large-scale renovation since it was rebuilt, working to create a store that embodies the “global niche” theme through such measures as expanding luxury and up-and-coming brands, and strengthening the development of the IP content store.
In order to grow our domestic and overseas customer base, we continued to expand app membership and card membership in the Department Store Business and SC Business. Also, to better cater for our overseas customer base, we strengthened our efforts to convert foreign visitors to Japan into members in
the Department Store Business and worked on mutual customer referrals through collaboration with other companies.
As for evolving Group synergies, in terms of maximizing area value, in addition to moving forward with preparations to open the new “HAERA” commercial facility, which is a fusion of our department stores and PARCO, with the aim of further enhancing our competitive superiority in the Nagoya Sakae district that we have positioned as a key area, we made efforts to generate buzz through events held jointly with the community and other initiatives. In Kobe, we took the decision to invest in the Kyukyoryuchi 25bankan large-scale complex in the former foreign settlement district in which Daimaru Kobe is located, with the aim of enhancing the attractiveness of the area.
In order to expand the Group’s customer base, following the launch of the GINZA SIX Card and PARCO Card in FY2024, we launched the Hakata Daimaru Kujaku Card and completed the consolidation of card issuance operations as planned. Taking advantage of these opportunities, we worked to leverage the cooperation between our companies to expand the Group customer member base.
With regard to ownership and development of in-house content for new growth in the retail business, we entered the reuse business through a joint venture with Komehyo Co., Ltd., and gradually opened “MEGRUS” branded product repurchasing specialist shops in our department stores and PARCO stores. As well as the Department Store Business developing a next-generation sweets brand in collaboration with another company, the SC Business established PARCO GAMES and made full-scale entry into the game publishing business, which includes the development and sale of original games.
With regard to the strengthening of the Group management foundation, to prepare for the realization of the Group vision we established a new human resource strategy that aims to develop the human resources and organizations that are the source of value co-creation, and transform the organizational culture. Based on this, we promoted active participation by diverse human resources through such measures as strengthening the recruitment of specialist staff, encouraging personnel exchanges within the Group, and empowering female employees, while also working to improve the skills and mindset of management.
As for the system strategy, we worked on the standardization of systems within the Group, such as by beginning full-scale operation of an accounting system to enhance business management and improve operational efficiency. In addition, we promoted IT governance through such measures as enhancing system investments and asset management, and handling information security.
In terms of financial strategy, with the aim of enhancing return on capital over the medium to long term, optimizing equity, and improving shareholder returns, we maintained a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 40% or more and conducted purchases of treasury shares totaling ¥15.0 billion. Additionally, to promote business growth based on sustainability management, we issued “Sustainability Bonds.”
In terms of corporate governance, based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board of Directors, we worked to further enhance oversight functions by monitoring the Medium-term Business Plan, strengthening audit functions, and other measures.
As a result of implementing the aforementioned measures, sales revenue for the current fiscal year was primarily driven by strong performance in domestic customer sales in the Department Store Business, as well as steady sales in the SC Business. However, there was a significant decrease in duty-free sales in the Department Store Business, which grew significantly in the previous fiscal year. As a result, sales revenue was ¥445,094 million, up 0.7% year on year, and business profit was ¥50,597 million, down 5.4% year on year. Additionally, due to the reactionary decrease following the gain on step acquisition recorded in the previous fiscal year from the acquisition of shares (subsidiarization) of Shinsaibashi Kyodo Center Building, K.K., operating profit was ¥49,015 million, down 15.8% year on year, profit before tax was ¥44,515 million, down 20.2% year on year, and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥28,282 million, down 31.7% year on year.
Business results by segment are as follows.
Due to reorganization within the Group as of September 1, 2024, a part of the management business of J. Front One Partner Co., Ltd., which had been included in “Other,” was transferred to PARCO SPACE SYSTEMS Co., Ltd. that is included in the “Developer Business” and another company. As a result, results have been retroactively adjusted as if the transfer took place at the beginning of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 (as of March 1, 2024).

Amid fluctuating inbound demand, we steadily promoted key strategies based on the Medium-term Business Plan. Specifically, we continued to promote a large-scale renovation of the Matsuzakaya Nagoya store, aiming to cultivate loyalty among existing customers and capture next-generation customers, and finished the renewal of the Main Building and North Building. In October 2025, a partnership of three companies, including ourselves, embarked on a large-scale renovation of the Daimaru Umeda store aimed at asserting a new presence in Umeda, which is the largest commercial area in western Japan, and improving profitability.
To establish competitive superiority in the affluent business fields that are our strength, we also worked to grow the customer base in each area by enhancing customer acquisition, and events and experience planning, etc. The official store opened at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, was well received due to a spatial design that allows visitors to experience Japanese culture, as well as original products and works of art by famous artists and designer brands developed using the discernment of our employees.
In preparation for new growth in the retail business, we worked on the development and ownership of in-house content that integrate our organizational capabilities, such as discernment, procurement capabilities, and networks. Specifically, we collaborated with a partner company to develop next-generation sweets brands, and opened two of these brands in October 2025. We also established a company managing and selling original sweets through a joint investment and opened a new sweets brand in October 2025.
As a result of implementing the aforementioned measures, in the current fiscal year, although domestic customer sales remained strong, the decrease in duty-free sales, which had grown beyond initial expectations in the previous fiscal year, led to sales revenue of ¥268,175 million, up 1.7% year on year, and business profit decreased to ¥30,900 million, down 9.1% year on year.

Based on a key strategy of the Medium-term Business Plan, we are primarily promoting large-scale renovation and building frame restructuring that will structurally evolve store operations. Specifically, after completing a large-scale renovation of Shibuya PARCO in September 2025, we sought to gain support widely among customers in Japan and overseas by strengthening content originating from Japan, based on the “global niche” theme, by implementing such initiatives as opening the world’s first official experiential shop for “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure,” as well as opening the first flagship store in Japan for SEGA CORPORATION, which has generated abundant IP over its 65-year history. Additionally, taking into account the successful outcomes at Shibuya PARCO, we opened an entertainment floor at Hiroshima PARCO and implemented a large-scale renovation of Sendai PARCO, the largest of its kind since the building was opened.
Aiming for expansion of contents business, we made a full-scale entry into the game publishing business by utilizing our unique discernment ability and creativity, and network cultivated so far. Our new PARCO GAMES label launched three new titles as the first phase of our publishing program.
As a result of various measures including those mentioned above, in the current fiscal year, revenue increased to ¥67,277 million, up 4.4% year on year, due to the growth in store leasing revenue driven by the continued strong performance of domestic and inbound transaction volume, as well as an increase in payment fee income, among other factors. Consequently, business profit rose to ¥14,007 million, up 9.9% year on year. Operating profit was ¥13,669 million, up 6.4% year on year, despite the recording of a loss on liquidation of business following the decision to cease operations of Shizuoka PARCO (scheduled for the end of January 2027).

Based on a key area strategy, we announced we will open “HAERA,” a new commercial facility in “The Landmark Nagoya Sakae” currently under development in Nishiki 3-chome, Naka-ku, Nagoya City in June 2026, and we have advanced preparations for the opening. In the Kobe area, we made the decision to invest in Kyukyoryuchi 25bankan complex, which consists of a commercial facility and a hotel. Anchored by cooperation with Daimaru Kobe and other parts of the Department Store Business, we will help enhance the attractiveness of the former foreign settlement district as a whole. The local community and each company of the Group have been working together to advance participation in “QUARTZ SHINSAIBASHI” in the Osaka Shinsaibashi area and the redevelopment plan for the “Tenjin 2-chome South Block Station Area Tozai Zone Project” in the Fukuoka Tenjin area. We will continue to work together as a Group to enhance our presence and improve the attractiveness of key areas with the retail business at the core.
Despite various measures including those mentioned above, revenue was ¥81,393 million, down 10.2% year on year, and business profit was ¥7,386 million, down 11.6% year on year, mainly due to a reactionary decline following the gain on the sale of properties held and large-scale construction orders in the building interior business in the previous fiscal year.

Based on our key strategy, we completed the consolidation of card issuance operations in accordance with the Medium-term Business Plan, with the new issuance of the Hakata Daimaru Kujaku Card in March 2025 following the PARCO Card in February of the same year. Taking these opportunities, we launched a new service for Daimaru Matsuzakaya Cards that allows for immediate issuance and usage, and promoted acquisition measures in collaboration with each company, aiming to expand card membership. Furthermore, we implemented credit limit expansion and optimization to expand card transaction volume. In the Affiliated Store Business, we worked on acquiring affiliates mainly in key areas, and transaction volume increased due to the expansion of acquiring operations at the Group commercial facilities. Regarding our initiative to combat the unauthorized use of credit cards, a challenge for the industry, the effect of various measures has led to a reduction in unauthorized use, and we have continued to implement measures.
As a result of various measures including those mentioned above, sales revenue increased to ¥13,504 million (up 2.8% year on year) mainly due to an expansion in card transaction volume and transaction volume in the affiliate business. On the other hand, business profit decreased to ¥962 million (down 41.2% year on year), mainly due to an increase in costs for acquiring members associated with the issuance of new cards, as well as higher advertising expenses and personnel expenses.

Total assets as of February 28, 2026 was ¥1,141,567 million, down ¥22,580 million compared with February 28, 2025. This was mainly due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents and right-of-use assets. Total liabilities was ¥713,544 million, a decrease of ¥27,367 million compared with February 28, 2025. This was mainly due to decreases in bonds and borrowings and lease liabilities.

The balance of cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter “cash”) as of February 28, 2026 was ¥36,099 million, down ¥18,876 million compared with February 28, 2025 (¥54,975 million).
Cash flow positions in the current fiscal year and the factors for these are as follows.
Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥66,992 million. In comparison with the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, cash provided decreased by ¥18,820 million, mainly due to a decrease in profit before tax and an increase in income taxes paid.
Net cash used in investing activities was ¥15,154 million. In comparison with the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, cash used decreased by ¥13,154 million, largely reflecting a reactionary decline following the purchase of shares of Shinsaibashi Kyodo Center Building, etc. in the previous year.
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥70,782 million. In comparison with the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, cash used decreased by ¥3,219 million mainly due to proceeds from issuance of bonds, despite an increase in purchase of treasury shares.

- Overview of operating results for the current fiscal year
Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the closing stock price at the end of the period by the number of issued shares at the end of the period (excluding treasury shares).
The figure used for cash flow is “net cash from (used in) operating activities.”
Interest-bearing debt consists of current borrowings, commercial papers, current portion of bonds, lease liabilities (short-term), bonds, non-current borrowings and lease liabilities (longterm) recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position. Furthermore, regarding the paid interest, we use the interest paid recorded on the consolidated statement of cash flows.
- Cash dividends
- Consolidated earnings forecasts
In our full-year consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2027, we project gross sales of ¥1,347,000 million, sales revenue of ¥469,000 million; business profit of ¥52,000 million; operating profit of ¥47,000 million; profit before tax of ¥42,000 million; and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥29,000 million. Our forecast for basic earnings per share is ¥118.16.
- Basic policy on profit distribution for the current fiscal year and dividends for the current fiscal year and the next fiscal year
The Company’s basic policy is to return profits appropriately by striving to provide a stable dividend and purchasing treasury shares in a flexible and agile manner, with the aim of maintaining and enhancing the Company’s sound financial standing while keeping profit levels, future capital investment, free cash flow trends and other such factors in consideration.
In accordance with this policy, the Company will strive to optimize shareholder’s equity by providing dividends with a targeted consolidated dividend payout ratio of 40% or more and purchasing treasury shares during the period of its FY2024–FY2026 Medium-term Business Plan.
With respect to internal reserves, the Company intends to enhance corporate value by using them for such purposes as investing in store refurbishments to further strengthen the retail businesses (Department Store Business and SC Business), making upfront investments in the Developer Business aimed at realizing Group synergies, and implementing growth investment.
In the current fiscal year, the Company plans to pay an annual dividend of ¥54 per share, comprising an interim dividend of ¥27 per share and a year-end dividend of ¥27 per share.
In the next fiscal year, the Company plans to pay an annual dividend of ¥56 per share, comprising an interim dividend of ¥28 per share and a year-end dividend of ¥28 per share.
