    2. On July 1, 2025, we conducted a 4-for-1 split of common stock. In the above table, the dividend amounts reflect the impact of this stock split. We have omitted the full-year dividend for the year ended December 31, 2025. If the stock split were not taken into account, the year-end dividend would have been 52.00 yen and the full-year dividend would have been 98.00 yen.

  • Advice relating to appropriate use of financial forecasts and other relevant information Disclaimer on forward-looking statements

This document contains performance forecasts and other forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on information available at the time and, in part, on what are deemed to be reasonable assumptions. They are not guarantees of future performance.

      During the fiscal period under review (January 1 to March 31, 2026), the Japanese economy traced a moderate recovery path, with improved corporate earnings, employment situation, and personal income. However, the economic outlook was mired by economic uncertainties related to the situation in the Middle East, US policy, the recession in China, and inflationary pressures.

      Against this backdrop, we made a start on Unite for Growth 2027, our fourth medium-term plan aligned with our long-term vision, CCC 2030. Unite for Growth 2027 sets out a strategy of combining the knowledge assets in each of our businesses with the strengths that our group has cultivated to date to create inter-business synergy, grow our existing businesses, and expand the reach of the business fields. The business climate had changed dramatically, but we maintained our competitiveness by flexibly adapting to the changing business conditions and shifting customer needs.

      Net sales reached ¥108.0 billion (up 8.7% year on year). This year-on-year growth reflects the success of the furniture business in closing deals, the success of the business supply distribution business in expanding the purchase-management platform Benri Net, and the success of the stationery in expanding overseas. Gross profit increased to ¥45.3 billion (up 6.8% year on year), while gross profit ratio amounted to 41.9% (down 0.7 points year on year) because profitability dipped temporarily as a result of discounts offered in a major sale campaign in the business supply distribution business. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to ¥31.4 billion (up 8.8% year on year), reflecting strategic expenditures and organizational bolstering for expanding the business fields. Expense ratio (selling, general, and administrative expenses to net sales) came to 29.1% (no year-on-year change).

      Reflecting these results, operating income reached ¥13.8 billion (up 2.7% year on year). Ordinary income reached ¥14.5 billion (up 11.4% year on year), reflecting recognition of foreign exchange gain. Profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥10 billion, up 0.8% year on year, with the increase ordinary income offsetting what would have otherwise been a decrease relative to a spike in the comparative period, when gain on sales of investment securities was recognized.

      Segment

      As part of our long-term vision, CCC 2030, we have redefined our role in society as that of a "Work & Life Style Company," and committed to being an organization that creates life-affirming solutions, alongside tangible stationery and furniture, in the domain of work and the domain of learning and daily life.

      The following table shows the segment-specific results for the period under review.

      • Furniture

        For our furniture businesses, we target the burgeoning demand for office renovation in Japan, which is driven by the diversification of working styles. We are also channeling our resources in Mainland China and Hong Kong and our Japanese excellence in spatial design to drive business expansion overseas. In this way, the business drives earnings growth for our organization as a whole.

        In Japan, there is brisk demand for new office builds (office relocations) and office renovations. To capitalizing on this demand, we are working to expand sales and improve profitability by tailoring workstyle solutions to

        customers' strategic issues more effectively and by streamlining workflows. In China, the market remained sluggish amid the economic slowdown.

        In ASEAN, we stepped up marketing efforts among middle-and high-market segments, but progress was slower than expected. Net sales and operating income benefitted from the inclusion of Kokuyo Workplace India Limited in the scope of consolidation.

        Under such circumstances, the segment's net sales increased to ¥57.2 billion (up 6.4% year on year). Operating income increased to ¥12.7 billion (up 1.4% year on year).

      • Business supply distribution

        In this business area, we use technological innovation to deliver personalized shopping experiences through Benri Net, a platform for purchase-management services.

        During the period under review, we made headway in expanding Benri Net. As for our e-commerce website Kaunet, we attracted more users, but profitability decreased, dampening earnings growth. The decrease in

        profitability represented a temporary dip resulting from discounts we offered in a major sale. We organized the sale to head off a surge in competition that occurred when the market, having previously been affected by a

        shut-down in a distribution system within the industry, returned to normality.

        Under such circumstances, the segment's net sales increased to ¥29.9 billion (up 12.7% year on year).

        Operating income decreased to ¥1.3 billion (down 3.0% year on year).

      • Stationery

        In this business area, we are shifting to a strategy that involves capitalizing on the global momentum for positive study/learning experiences. To this end, we are positioning our Campus brand as a brand that delivers value in study/learning.

        In Japan, we deployed a brand strategy for Campus in which we offer study solutions ("study recipes") that combine stationery products with study methods and launch new products aligned with such. This strategy led to an increase in B2C sales. We actively allocated expenditures to driving our Campus brand strategy and writing tools strategy.

        In China, the market remained sluggish amid the economic malaise, but we achieved success with our strategy focusing on stationery demand among secondary school girls, launched more products, opened more retail outlets in conjunction with these product launches, expanded our e-commerce business, and attracted more fans.

        In India, performance was in line with expectations. While performance was adversely affected by an increase in competition, we continued expanding the range of new products and launched value-added products.

        Under these circumstances, the segment's net sales increased to ¥23.7 billion (up 8.8% year on year). Operating income increased to ¥2.5 billion (up 18.1% year on year).

      • Interior retail

        In this business area, we are working to grow our offline retail business and e-commerce business, channeling the customer connections and marketing prowess developed in our existing interior retail businesses. We are also working closer with partners to expand our business reach in the B2B sector as part of a business portfolio shift that will contribute to long-term growth.

        During the period under review, performance was in line with expectations. For offline retail and e-commerce, we achieved success in an end-of-year sale and other sales promotion efforts.

        Under these circumstances, the segment's net sales increased to ¥5.5 billion (up 2.7% year on year). Operating income decreased to ¥0.1 billion (down 9.6% year on year).

    2. Financial Performance During Period Under Review

      1. Assets, liabilities, and net assets

        Total assets as of March 31, 2026, amounted to ¥352.1 billion, down ¥2.9 billion from December 31, 2025, the end of the previous fiscal year.

        Current assets decreased by ¥4.7 billion to ¥238.1 billion.

        The main factors were an increase of ¥13.3 billion in notes and accounts receivable and contract assets, reflecting an increase in net sales in the furniture business during a busy demand season, and an increase of

        ¥0.5 billion in merchandise and finished goods. These factors were partially offset by a decrease of ¥19.5 billion in cash and deposits, which was a result of measures to ensure compliance with the Act Against Delay in Payment of Fees to Small and Medium-sized Entrusted Business Operators in Manufacturing and Other Specified Fields.

        Non-current assets increased by ¥1.8 billion to ¥113.9 billion.

        One factor was an increase of ¥0.9 billion in property, plant and equipment, much of which was associated with the construction of the Tohoku IDC. Another factor was an increase of ¥0.6 billion in investment securities.

        Liabilities as of March 31, 2026, amounted to ¥91.0 billion, down ¥8.5 billion from December 31, 2025, the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factor was an increase of ¥2.3 billion in provision for bonuses, partially offset by a decrease of ¥10.3 billion in notes and accounts payable - trade.

        Net assets as of March 31, 2026, came to a total of ¥261.0 billion, up ¥5.5 billion from December 31, 2025, the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factors were an increase of ¥4.4 billion in retained earnings and an increase of ¥0.7 billion in valuation difference on available-for-sale securities.

      2. Cash Flows

      On a consolidated basis, cash and cash equivalents (hereafter referred to as cash) as of March 31, 2026, totaled ¥90.9 billion, a decrease of ¥19.6 billion from the previous fiscal year-end.

      Cash flows from operating activities

      Net cash used from operating activities was ¥9.9 billion (up ¥2.0 billion year on year).

      The main positive cash flows were ¥14.7 billion in profit before income taxes, ¥2.3 billion in increase in provision for bonuses and an increase in reconciliation of non-cash profit/loss, which included ¥2.1 billion in depreciation. The main negative cash flows were ¥13.3 billion in increase in notes and accounts receivable -trade and ¥10.4 billion in decrease in notes and accounts payable - trade, the latter of which was partly a result of measures to ensure compliance with the Act Against Delay in Payment of Fees to Small and Medium-sized Entrusted Business Operators in Manufacturing and Other Specified Fields. Other negative cash flows were ¥3.6 billion in income taxes paid, ¥1.1 billion in increase in inventories, ¥0.4 billion in increase in real estate for sale, and ¥0.2 billion in gain on sales of investment securities not included in

      operating cash flows.

      Cash flows from inves ting activities

      Net cash used in investing activities was ¥4.4 billion (compared to ¥0.3 billion earned in the comparative period). The main positive cash flow was ¥0.4 billion in proceeds from sales of investment securities. The main negative cash flow was ¥4.9 billion in capital expenditure.

      Cash flows from financing activities

      Net cash used in financing activities was ¥5.4 billion (up ¥0.9 billion year on year). The main positive cash flow was ¥0.5 billion due to increase in short-term loans payable. The main negative cash flows were ¥5.5 billion in cash dividends paid and ¥0.3 billion in repayments of lease obligations.

    3. Qualitative Information Related to Consolidated Forecasts

    The forecasts for the fiscal period ending December 31, 2026, remain unchanged from those announced on February 13, 2026.

    The situation in the Middle East has potential ramifications for procurement and distribution costs, but much remains uncertain. We are currently investigating what the specific effects will be.

    If any disclosable forecasts change, we will disclose the details without delay.
