TOKYO, May 01 (Pulse News Wire) – AOKI Holdings Inc. (8214.T) revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, citing challenges in the fashion sector despite strong performance in entertainment and wedding businesses.
According to the revision, the company now expects a net income per share of ¥148.90, down from the previous estimate of ¥151.00. Sales are projected at ¥14.78 billion, operating profit at -¥1.500 billion, and ordinary profit at -¥1.500 billion. The decrease reflects lower sales in existing stores due to weather factors and changing consumer trends in the fashion industry during the fourth quarter.
Cost increases and higher tax expenses also contributed to the downward adjustment in profitability. Despite efforts to manage costs and reduce expenses, the overall gross margin declined due to rising procurement prices and marketing strategies implemented in the fashion division. AOKI Holdings notes that while the revised figures are based on currently available information, actual results could differ significantly.
The company will promptly disclose any significant developments impacting its forecasts.
