TOKYO, May 21 (Pulse News Wire) – AOKI Holdings Inc. (8214.T) reported strong revenue growth for the fiscal year ended March 2026, achieving ¥187.7 billion compared to its target.
However, operating profit came in below expectations at ¥13.8 billion, missing the projected goal. In the fashion division, despite expanding its ORIHICA brand with 20 new stores, the company faced challenges due to reduced customer traffic and higher costs, leading to a decline in profitability. Despite these setbacks, the entertainment sector saw robust performance, driven by key initiatives such as the expansion of fast-growing chain stores and increased membership at fitness centers.
Looking ahead, AOKI forecasts continued growth in the coming fiscal year, targeting a revenue increase of 102.8%. The company expects to achieve this through strategic expansions and improved operational efficiencies across all segments. Notably, the bridal services division also showed promising results, benefiting from higher average spending per couple and increased demand for corporate events.
Overall, while facing some headwinds in certain areas, AOKI remains optimistic about its future prospects and continues to focus on executing its long-term strategy aimed at sustainable growth and shareholder value creation.
