AI Summary
2026-06-23 11:15
FY2025 revenue declined 9.8% to ¥2.64B, operating profit fell 53.8% to ¥195M due to weak new product sales and sluggish distributor expansion. Net income rose 282.5% to ¥165M due to lower extraordinary losses. Equity ratio improved to 72.4%, enabling dividend resumption after 8 years.
KEY POINTS
- Revenue down 9.8%, operating profit down 53.8%, with Q3-Q4 volatility revealing high operating leverage—core weakness in sales organization expansion despite 238 distributors
- Equity ratio reaches 72.4% (target 60%+), net profit rebounds to ¥165M, 8-year dividend resumption planned to enhance shareholder returns
- Distributor inventory normalized and field sales recovery signs emerge, but young customer/salesperson acquisition and DX transformation remain critical growth challenges in shrinking visit-sales market
📊 Revenue
Revenue -9.8% (¥2.93B → ¥2.64B)
💰 Operating profit
OP -53.8% (¥423M → ¥195M)
🔮 Outlook
FY2026 outlook: Revenue -0.1%, OP +2.4%, Net profit -14.9%. Focus on ¥9.2B revenue target and KPI recovery (inventory turnover 6mo, OPM 15%, equity ratio 60%).
📈 Growth outlook
📈 Growth 2/10
Cosmetics market barely growing (+1.2% YoY). Visit-sales channel faces structural decline due to lifestyle changes, intensifying competition, and young customer acquisition challenges. Company plans 5-year system overhaul but execution risk remains high.
Growth drivers
- New product launches (peeling lotion, moisture sheet, Chulie premium set) driving customer satisfaction
- International expansion (continued Taiwan export, new market entry planned)
- Patent licensing for pharmaceutical/cosmetic applications (TGF-β inhibitor, etc.) as new revenue stream
- Sales organization training reinforcement targeting 100,000 loyal users
