TOKYO, May 08 (Pulse News Wire) – Istyle Inc. reported strong revenue growth in its fiscal third quarter ending March 2026, reaching ¥45.573 billion, up 12.4% year-over-year.
Operating profit stood at ¥2.601 billion, marking a 13.7% increase compared to the same period last year. Despite challenges such as delays in warehouse transfers impacting e-commerce sales and struggles at regional stores, the retail division continued to achieve revenue and profit increases. The marketing support segment saw robust performance due to expanded brand partnerships, contributing significantly to overall results. However, the global segment faced operational hurdles, particularly with the Hong Kong flagship store, leading to lower-than-expected revenues and losses.
In the coming quarters, management expects improved operations at the Hong Kong flagship store and sustained growth across domestic segments to drive further profitability. The company also highlighted plans to expand into new beauty-related sectors beyond cosmetics, aiming to enhance its position as a unique platform in the industry. Istyle's capital structure remains stable, with ongoing efforts to attract more stable shareholders through dividend payments resuming in fiscal year 2025. The firm continues to focus on strategic investments and expansion initiatives to bolster long-term growth and shareholder value.
