Gradually Achieving Seamlessness Within Our Group to Provide Unique Value Leveraging Our Group’s Competitive Advantage

Record Highs in Each Consolidated Profit Category

The Takashimaya Group announced our Grand Design in the last fiscal year. The Grand Design is the vision for our group for 2031 when we will celebrate the milestone of the 200th anniversary since our foundation. We took this opportunity to newly publish the Integrated Report in December. This Integrated Report shared our value creation story and growth strategy. In addition, we worked on management issues as it was the initial fiscal year of our Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2024 to FY2026). I would like to talk now about our business performance. Sales increased mainly in department stores in Japan. In addition, we kept cost increases to a minimum. As a result, both revenue and profit increased. Moreover, we exceeded our planned figures and recorded highs in each consolidated profit category.

Creating Value Unique to Our Company by Combining Our Three Strengths

This fiscal year marks the second year of our Medium-Term Management Plan. We believe it is essential to create value unique to our company for sustainable growth by combining our three strengths: store location characteristics, excellent group companies and a broad customer base. We aim to provide our customers with stress-free and inspiring shopping experiences by connecting all our information, services and products in a streamlined system. Accordingly, we will gradually work from this fiscal year to realize a state in which group business is equidistant from the customer’s perspective (in other words, seamlessness).

Maximizing the Appeal of Commercial Facilities by Shifting to Next-Generation Shopping Centers

We will promote the switch to next-generation shopping centers as an important initiative in our group-wide Machi-dukuri strategy. Mutually using the know-how and management resources of each group business will lead to us maximizing the appeal of our commercial facilities. At the same time, we will create diverse incentives for our broad customer base to visit our stores both commercially and non-commercially. We will also contribute to the local community by playing a role as a part of regional infrastructure. For example, commercial facilities will serve as terminals for a recycling-oriented society and as evacuation sites in the event of a disaster.

Enhancing the Appeal of Our Product Lineup Focused on Our Five Large Stores to Strengthen Our Sales Capabilities in Department Stores in Japan

We will enhance the appeal of our product lineup focused on our five large stores that are well-balanced in the east and west to strengthen the sales capabilities of our core business of department stores in Japan. Furthermore, we will enhance our items spaces and self-curated sales spaces and develop products and services that leverage our curating capabilities. Together with this, we will strive to help achieve fulfilling lifestyles for our customers by providing one-stop experience value that takes advantage of our physical stores.

Expanding Business Domains by Devoting All the Efforts of Our Group in the Growing Market of Vietnam

We will expand our business domains by devoting all the efforts of our group focused on development led by Toshin Development in the growing market of Vietnam for our overseas business. Moreover, we will further accelerate the pace of our initiatives to exert Group synergies by taking on challenges new domains in addition to the card business in the finance business that we have positioned as the third pillar of our group.

We will continue to endeavor to meet the expectations of all our stakeholders in the future. We appreciate your continued support and patronage.
