Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
3Q (September–November) saw steady sales and business profit growth, slightly exceeding plan, despite uncertainties from declining Chinese visitors.
Sales revenue for the nine months ended November 30, 2025, rose 3.8% year-over-year to ¥328,127 million, driven by domestic customer sales in the Department Store and SC Businesses, despite a sharp drop in duty-free sales and a reactionary decrease from prior year one-time gains.
Business profit declined 7.4% year-over-year to ¥41,511 million, and operating profit fell 20.4% to ¥40,692 million, mainly due to the absence of last year's gain on step acquisition and increased operating expenses.
Profit attributable to owners of parent dropped 33.4% year-over-year to ¥24,684 million.
Group reorganization in September 2024 led to retroactive adjustments in prior-year results.
Financial highlights
3Q gross sales were ¥317.7B (+4.6% YoY), revenue ¥108.2B (+1.5% YoY), and business profit ¥13.3B (+¥0.9B YoY).
Gross sales for the nine months were ¥940,365 million, up 2.9% year-over-year.
Basic earnings per share for the period was ¥98.33, down from ¥143.04 in the prior year.
Free cash flow remained positive at ¥40B, despite a ¥13.7B YoY decrease.
Cash and cash equivalents at period end were ¥32,610 million, a decrease of ¥22,365 million from the previous fiscal year-end.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year sales revenue forecast is ¥452,000 million (+2.3% year-over-year), with profit attributable to owners of parent projected at ¥26,000 million (-37.2% year-over-year).
Second-half outlook aims to meet October’s forecast, though the impact of fewer Chinese visitors remains uncertain.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
