Summary of the business performance in 1Q of FY 3/25
Sales grew 7.7% year on year, but operating profit dropped 138 million yen year on year, due to the skyrocketing ofmanufacturing expenses, the yen depreciation, and the augmentation of SGA, mainly marketing expenses, personnel expenses,
and expenditure for formulating a medium-term management plan and purpose.
＜Sales＞
・Regarding AIR Care products, “SHOSHURIKI－Premium Aroma” and “SHOSHURIKI－Clear Beads” sold well, but the sales of the newproduct “SHOSHURIKI COMPACT,” which was released this spring, did not reach the forecast, although it contributed to total sales,
and the sales of other existing products were sluggish. As a result, sales increased 4.0% year on year, but fell below the forecast.
・Regarding PET Care products, S.T. Corporation released “NYANTOMO CLEAN TOILET,” which was transferred from Kao Corporation,
in June, so the total sales of Pet Care products increased 562 million yen year on year.
・Regarding CLOTH Care products, the demand that is normally seen in February or March was observed from April, and the coreproduct “MUSHUDA FOR DRAWER,” “MUSHUDA FOR CLOSET,“etc. contributed to sales growth. As a result, sales increased 15.7%
year on year.
・The sales of THERMAL Care products declined 218 million yen, due to the increased return of products in the previous season.
＜Gross profit margin＞
・Gross profit margin rose 0.9 points year on year, thanks to the effects of the product mix, including the increase in sales volume of
CLOTH Care products, despite the augmentation of procurement costs caused by the rise in raw material prices and the yen
depreciation.
＜SG&A expenses＞
・Regarding marketing expenses, advertisement expenses augmented 161 million yen, due to the start of TV commercials for the newproduct “SHOSHURIKI COMPACT,” etc.
・Personnel expenses increased 108 million yen, due to the rise in salaries and active recruitment of mid-career workers.

・Other SG&A expenses rose 284 million yen, due to the costs for formulating a medium-term management plan and purpose.
