Timing to see profitability gains led by upfront investments.
Implications from FY6/24Q3
- Since the 4Q of FY6/24 will be investment-oriented, market attention will focus on FY6/25 and beyond.
- Based on the FY6/24 WARC forecast, we expect an annualized operating profit CAGR of +27% over the next three years. Now that the company has broken away from its operating deficit position, which lasted until FY6/22, and is able to accumulate solid cash flow, the company has factored in its forecast to make upfront investments for the future.
- The stock market should look beyond the short-term earnings squeeze caused by upfront investment. The timing of the realization of operational cost efficiencies and the strength of offering both marketing solution and retail businesses may be the catalyst for valuation expansion.
Based on istyle ("the company")'s 3Q results for FY6/24, we have set our forecasts for FY6/24-FY6/27. We expect the company to achieve its forecasts for FY6/24. The CAGR for the next three years, starting from FY6/24, is expected to be 10% for net sales and 27% for operating profit.
The retail business will continue to be the earnings driver. Although our forecast only includes the opening of one new store each fiscal year, we expect profit growth of +19% per year based on growth in sales per sales floor space at existing directly managed stores. If the company were to accelerate the pace of new store openings, there may be a time lag between investment and contribution to sales, depending on the size of the stores, but we intend to carefully assess the contribution to sales over the medium term.
The company intends to continue to invest aggressively in FY6/25. In particular, it will continue to invest in human resources and systems. In FY6/23, the company broke out of its operating deficit, which had persisted until then, and free cash flow has finally stabilized. As a result, the company has been unable to invest in systems to support its marketing solution business and retail business, but it appears that the fundamentals are finally in place to allow such investment.
In the short term, the company's operating profit margin improvement will be limited due to continued upfront investments. However, it is more important to carefully assess the potential for this investment to lead to operational cost efficiencies and increased synergies between the marketing solution business and the retail business in FY6/26 and beyond.
Our forecast is based on the assumption that a certain amount of upfront investment will continue. Since we are minimizing our plans to open new stores in the retail business, it is conceivable that further investment will increase.

The company reported sales of 40.9 billion yen (+32% YoY) and operating profit of 1.5 billion yen (+168% YoY) in cumulative 3Q results for FY6/24, exceeding the company plan. The company raised its full-year forecasts (sales 50.0 billion yen -> 55.0 billion yen, operating profit 1.2 billion yen -> 1.7 billion yen) in light of the results. Based on this plan, the company expects a 17% increase in sales and a 10% decrease in operating profit in 4Q, due to a one-time charge of 147 million yen in 3Q, as well as investments to strengthen the business fundamentals in the retail business and the company as a whole in 4Q.
The retail business continued to be the driver of performance in 3Q. In the store business, sales per square meter at directly managed stores grew by 38% y-o-y, recording a 49% y-o-y increase ( same-store sales were up 23% y-o-y). There was also a rush demand for some products before price hikes. In addition, the directly managed flagship store @cosme OSAKA, which opened in September 2023, performed better than their expected. The EC business grew 32% YoY due in part to the success of the @cosme BEATY DAY held in 2Q, which fostered customer loyalty. The Amazon store also appears to be expanding steadily, although its contribution to sales is still low. On the other hand, the Global Business posted a YoY sales decline in 3Q following 2Q, and its operating loss widened. In addition to the difficult macro environment, the adoption of a sales strategy focused on highly profitable products appears to have resulted in lower sales in the China cross-border EC business.
Earnings forecast
In response to the above, we have developed a forecast of the company's earnings. Please note that although this is a sponsored report, the forecasts are based on WARC's analysis of publicly available information and the macro environment.
For FY6/24, we forecast net sales of 55,237 million yen (+29% y-o-y) and operating profit of 1,827 million yen (+124% y-o-y). Operating profit is expected to reach 7% of the revised company plan. Momentum in each segment is expected to remain largely unchanged. The retail business has achieved a high level of growth so far, but the tailwind effect of the return of human flow since the beginning of 2023 has not been small, and it should be remembered that the launch pad has been raised since the 4Q. In terms of profits, the operating profit margin for 4Q (April-June) is expected to remain at 2.6%, due to planned upfront investments to strengthen the business foundation.
For FY6/25, we forecast net sales of 60,258 million yen (+9% YOY) and operating profit of 2,324 million yen (+27% YOY). The domestic retail business will continue to be the driver of overall performance, backed by strong domestic and inbound demand. Plan for new store openings is set at one standard store in 3Q. Although the company has not announced specific store opening plans, it should be kept in mind that it will aggressively open new stores and refurbish existing stores over the next several years, given that its directly managed flagship stores have begun to perform well and that monthly sales per floor space at existing directly managed stores have remained strong.
Considering the effect of increased sales and other factors, we would expect an improvement in the operating profit margin. However, given the company's investment in the 4Q and its past management stance, it is best to assume that the company will continue to make a certain amount of upfront investment for the time being. Given that the company has clearly broken away from the operating losses it had been incurring until FY6/22, investment in core systems, which had been a longstanding issue for the company, seems an urgent priority. While the aggressive investment will put pressure on earnings for the time being, the company should look to future improvements in operating cost efficiency and the expansion of synergies between the marketing support business and the retail business.
Sales CAGR of +10% per year is assumed for FY6/26 and beyond. The marketing solution business is expected to grow +10% annually, while the retail business is expected to grow +12%. In the marketing solution business, growth in the advertising solutions business will continue to be the driving force. Advertising expenditures by the cosmetics and toiletries industry in the four mass media continue to decline, which we believe is partly due to the ongoing shift to Internet advertising. The company has always sought to generate synergies with its advertising solutions business by not only operating its own specialized media but also managing its own stores and e-commerce sites. Whether or not the company's investment in infrastructure systems will lead to maximization of these synergies will be an important point in the future. In addition, the company has recently strengthened its efforts in new business areas through collaboration with Trenders, which has strengths in SNS marketing. The current forecast

includes a certain amount of only these investments, but does not expect them to contribute to sales. If the company's future efforts are able to produce solid results, the contribution to earnings is likely to be even higher. In the retail business, the company has not announced specific plans or pace of new store openings, so the current forecast is based on the assumption that the company will open one standard store each fiscal year. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that the growth rate may accelerate depending on the realization of the store opening plan.
Although there are many uncertainties, what we must firmly recognize is that if we can solidify our foundation during the up-front investment period up to FY6/26, we can expect quadratic growth with improved profitability in FY6/27 and beyond (or as early as FY6/26). We forecast an operating profit CAGR of +27% per year from FY6/26 onward. We anticipate that the effect of revenue growth will be offset by aggressive investments. The assumption is that upfront investments will mainly affect the marketing solution business and corporate expenses. If the company decides to aggressively open new stores, upfront investments related to store openings will also be incurred, but the increase in sales due to the increase in floor space should be able to absorb a certain amount of the increase in sales.
We would like to discuss specifically the future of operating profit and operating profit margin for the main businesses.
In the marketing solution business, we expect a certain level of recovery from the deterioration in profitability due to the recording of software amortization expenses in 3QFY6/24. However, we do not expect any increase in revenue for the time being, as we expect to continue investing in the renewal of the core system. We believe that the probability of improving future growth potential will increase as the company becomes able to factor in upfront investments, operational cost efficiencies, and sales growth in its forecasts.

In the retail business, although the company is on track to secure profitability, investments in new store openings and remodeling of existing stores may continue to offset the effect of increased revenues. Our forecast is to open one new store each fiscal year, so a concentration of new store openings may cause a temporary imbalance in profitability. The company's retail business tends to overly factor in inbound effects. However, since the inbound ratio is stable at just over 10%, we do not believe there is any need to be overly concerned about the impact.

Global business will continue to struggle. While Hong Kong and Taiwan have posted stable profits, China cross-border e- commerce and Korea continue to slump. The segment profit deficit is slowly but surely narrowing, and the first step will be to return to operating profitability. Since there are many uncertainties regarding future business strategies, we do not believe that excessive expectations should be placed on this business.
Source: Company data, WARC
The operating profit to sales ratio has been on a positive trend since the beginning of FY6/23, as the recovery of the mainstay marketing solution business and retail business has been able to absorb corporate expenses and cost increases in the global business. As a result, ROE is expected to improve to 11.7% in FY6/24, and is expected to rise to over 20% in FY6/25 and beyond, assuming moderate forward investment. We assume a redemption of 4,000 million yen in convertible bonds with stock acquisition rights in FY6/26, but even taking this into account, free cash flow is expected to increase every fiscal year. The market may be concerned about the possibility of more aggressive investment given the company's past management strategy. In terms of dialogue with the market, we expect the company to present its stance on cash allocation, including dividends, in the near future.
Goodwill recorded on the balance sheet at the end of March 2024 was 1,233 million yen. The majority of the goodwill was related to the acquisition of Glowdayz, Inc. of South Korea, which plans and operates the beauty platform service "GLOWPICK" and provides related advertising services. This company became a wholly owned subsidiary in August 2023, so there is no need to be aware of impairment charges in the short term. However, the Korean business is underperforming, so we should always be aware of the status of the business just in case.
Investment securities also increased to 3,629 million yen at the end of March 2023. This was due to the acquisition of shares in Trenders (6069). As a listed stock, it is subject to impairment risk in the event of a significant decline in its value. If the capital and business alliance will materialize the earnings impact of new solutions in the marketing solutions business, the concern about impairment will be unfounded.
