TOKYO, Apr 06 (Pulse News Wire) – And ST HD CO.,LTD. (2685.T) announced today that it recorded an impairment loss of ¥23 billion for its fiscal year ending February 28, 2026.
The impairment loss was recognized due to discrepancies between the initial business plan and actual performance following the acquisition of two brands—Today's Special and George's—from Adastria Corporation, which was previously Today's Special until its absorption merger in July 2024. Despite recognizing ongoing potential in the acquired brands, slower store expansion rates led to deviations from the anticipated business plans, necessitating the recognition of the impairment loss in the consolidated financial statements.
The impact of this special loss is reflected in the company’s interim earnings announcement released today.
