[Summary]

In the month under review, although the number of customers visiting physical stores started off well at the new year's first sale, due to the spread of Omicron variant and the subsequent implementation of priority measures such as for prevention of the spread of disease, the number of customers visiting physical stores decreased sharply after the middle of the month. As a result, net sales at like-for-like stores (total) were 116.1% of the same month of the previous year. Net sales at all stores (total) were 110.4% of the same month of the previous year due to the impact of the closure of unprofitable stores, implemented in the previous fiscal year as part of the global business reforms.

In the apparel business segment, sales of winter clothing such as knitwear and coats were brisk thanks to the decline in temperature, while those of suits increased for job-hunting, entrance and graduation ceremonies. In the lifestyle business segment, sales of pet-related products and comfort goods grew at Creative Yoko, while KOKOBUY, which is engaged in the beauty and cosmetics business, continued to see an upward trend in sales.
