Future Inventory, New Store Policy
Normalize inventory levels through FY2021
・We expect to experience bloated levels of Spring Summer inventory due to the rapid fall in sales from February onwards.
・We are working closely with partner factories to control the manufacture of Fall Winter ranges.
・We intend to gradually normalize excess inventory through FY2021.
Maintain medium, long-term store opening policy
・Owing to delays in shopping mall development following the outbreak of COVID-19, we now expect to open a total of approximately 78 new stores in Greater China in FY2020. We are currently scheduled to open 40 new stores in South, Southeast Asia
- Oceania in FY2020. Some store openings may be delayed depending when theCOVID-19 threat can be resolved.
・However, these two regions represent our pillar growth areas, so we do not intend to change our medium- to long-term new store opening strategy.
・We intend to build a network of prime-located, profitable stores by pursuing our scrap and build policy of replacing smaller, less profitable stores, with larger ones in superior locations.
