Summary of operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2025
In the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Japanese economy has shown a gradual recovery trend due to improvements in the employment and income environment and increase in inbound tourism demand resulting from an increase in the number of foreign visitors to Japan. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to market volatility over the U.S. trade policies and heightened geopolitical risks in the Middle East, etc. In the retail industry, personal consumption activities continue to face difficult conditions as the positive trend in real wages has not become firmly established due to the continuous price hikes, especially for food products, and consumer sentiment is declining due to a growing trend of belt-tightening. In the mail-order industry, where a slowdown in the growth rate is seen, competition between companies across industries and business categories has been intensifying due to an increasing number of companies entering the industry.
In this environment, the Group has set our Medium- to Long-Term Vision as "To become a true Marketing Solution Company (MSC), we will hone our uniqueness in Marketing Solution domain," and aims to enhance profitability by expanding our business domain without limiting ourselves to the direct marketing market
while pursuing highly unique business models. In FY2025, we are working to improve the Group's corporate value by focusing on two main policies of "strengthening earning power by pursuing uniqueness" and
"promoting of agile 'responsibility' management" by dedicating management resources to LPB (Logistics, Payment, and BPO).
As a result, net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to ¥21,698 million (up 3.2% from the three months ended June 30, 2024). As for profits, operating profit was ¥1,689 million (down 25.6% from the three months ended June 30, 2024), ordinary profit was ¥1,836 million (down 20.8% from the three
months ended June 30, 2024), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥1,231 million (down 21.5% from the three months ended June 30, 2024).
Operating results by segment are as follows.
Effective from the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the Company has partially changed the classification of its reportable segments, and in the following year-on-year comparisons, figures from the same quarter of the previous fiscal year have been compared based on the segment classification after such change. For
details, please refer to "2. Quarterly consolidated financial statements and significant notes thereto (3) Notes to quarterly consolidated financial statements (Notes on segment information, etc.)."
Net sales for each segment include intersegment sales or transfers.
Solutions Business
In the Solutions Business, we are working to expand our market by targeting all types of businesses without limiting our service offerings to the direct marketing market, capitalizing on our strength in providing the functions essential for direct marketing business operations on a one-stop basis. In addition to this, we will strengthen our profitability by developing high value-added businesses tailored to customer needs. With regards to distribution agency services, in response to growing logistics needs in the Kanto region, we have
been working to develop our business foundation, including preparations for the opening of a third base in the Kanto area. In the marketing support business, the Group is leveraging its expertise to expand in-house retail development. In payment agency services, while transaction volumes remain steady, we are making efforts to rebuild the credit management system to reduce the risk of bad debts.
As a result, net sales amounted to ¥8,663 million (up 25.0% from the three months ended June 30, 2024), and segment profit was ¥275 million (up 76.3% from the three months ended June 30, 2024).
Mail-order Business
In the Mail-order Business, net sales decreased due to the difficulty in obtaining orders for spring and high-
summer products. Aiming to generate maximum profit under these circumstances, we are promoting business efficiency by controlling inventory and reducing and restraining various costs, including sales promotion
expenses.
As a result, net sales amounted to ¥10,172 million (down 8.0% from the three months ended June 30, 2024), and segment profit was ¥1,583 million (down 23.0% from the three months ended June 30, 2024).
E-commerce Business
In the E-commerce Business, we are promoting the completion of business restructuring, which has been underway since FY2024, and the transformation of the business model to build a new revenue base.
As a result, net sales amounted to ¥3,148 million (down 7.8% from the three months ended June 30, 2024), and segment loss was ¥77 million (segment profit of ¥29 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024).
Group Jurisdiction Business
In the Group Jurisdiction Business, the Group's rental of real estate including its own logistics facilities, and Group logistics operations have been conducted. In its logistics operations, we reinforced its center operations in the Tokai, Kansai, and Kanto areas and strove to create a stable operating system. In addition to transactions within the Group, we are also engaged in sales activities to acquire external customers.
As a result, net sales amounted to ¥929 million (up 5.6% from the three months ended June 30, 2024), and segment profit was ¥52 million (down 30.7% from the three months ended June 30, 2024).
