Qualitative Information on Consolidated Performance for the Three Months of Fiscal 2026
- Explanation of Consolidated Operating Results
During the three months of fiscal 2026 (January 1-March 31, 2026), the Japanese economy continued to show a gradual recovery, however, it is necessary to keep a close eye on the impact of the situation in the Middle East and other factors. Despite signs of recovery in personal consumption backed by a recovery in the real wage income of employees, consumer sentiment has remained weak recently.
In the domestic cosmetics market, while recent performance has been generally stable, the market size excluding inbound demand has remained slightly below year on year. Regarding inbound demand, while the number of visitors to Japan remains high, changes in consumer behavior have led to a recent decline in duty-free sales, particularly at department stores. In the Chinese cosmetics market, consumer spending has continued to grow year on year, and demand has remained generally steady.
Within this market environment, as part of its medium-term management plan (from 2024 through 2026) that started in 2024, the POLA ORBIS Group (the "Group") implemented four business growth strategies, namely, "strengthen the customer base in the domestic business to achieve sustainable growth and improve profitability," "further grow the overseas business and establish business bases in new markets," "achieve profitability through growth in brands under development, contributing to sustainable earnings," and "enhance the brand portfolio and expand business domains." At the same time, in an effort to sustainably strengthen the management foundations that will support these strategies, the Group has worked to "strengthen R&D capabilities for new value creation" and "strengthen sustainability combining the resolution of social issues with uniqueness."
As a result of the above, the Group's consolidated operating results for the three months of fiscal 2026 were as follows.
Consolidated net sales for the three months of fiscal 2026 fell 1.2% year on year to ¥40,829 million, due mainly to a decrease in sales from the flagship POLA brand. Operating profit increased 18.7% year on year to ¥4,925 million due to appropriate expense control, while ordinary profit surged 153.2% year on year to ¥6,257 million due to foreign exchange gains and losses. As a result of the factors noted above, affected by the recording of expenses involved in the business restructuring expenses and other factors, profit attributable to owners of parent increased 88.0% year on year to ¥2,463 million.

Beauty Care
The Beauty Care segment consists of the flagship brands POLA and ORBIS, the overseas brand Jurlique, and the brands under development DECENCIA, THREE and FUJIMI.
POLA is working to establish a business base to return to a growth trajectory. In the domestic business, we are working to improve profitability by accelerating further growth of stores on a growth track through enhancing customer experience value in the salon channel, and by completing the full renewal of the premium series, B.A. While sales of stores on a growth track in the salon channel, the e-commerce channel, and the hotel amenities channel performed strongly, overall performance in the domestic business fell below that of the previous year due to factors such as improved precision of restraints placed on shipping for secondary distribution aimed at strengthening branding, and a decrease in the number of inbound tourists. In the overseas business, we are continuing to establish our brand presence in China, our priority market, by expanding contact points with high-prestige customers and strengthening CRM. Net sales for the overall overseas business decreased, partly due to differences in shipment timing in the duty-free channel. Meanwhile, in the China business, strong performance of new products in B.A series contributed to growth in net sales, primarily in the online channel. As a result, POLA brand net sales and operating profit decreased year on year.
ORBIS is working to expand its customer base through diversification of touchpoints and strengthen its profit structure centered on high-value-added skincare products as it aims for an even higher profit structure. In the domestic business, we are pursuing approaches to new customer segments and markets with growth potential, while also building a foundation centered on customers with high retention rates and high lifetime value through enhancing brand value. In the direct selling channel, unit purchase price rose as a result of efforts to promote active customers and propose highly functional, higher-priced products. In the external channels, we expanded customer contact points and maintained a high sales growth rate, and overall performance in the domestic business exceeded that of the previous year. In the overseas business, while overall performance fell below that of the previous year due to the impact of the liquidation of our Chinese subsidiary, we are seeing signs of a recovery and expansion in demand in ASEAN and East Asia. As a result of the above, ORBIS brand net sales and operating profit exceeded those of the previous year.
