1. Summary of financial results for the 2nd quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025

Consolidated consolidated financial results for the 2nd quarter of the fiscal year ending 2025/3 are sales of 191986 million yen, down 2.8% from the same period last year; operating profit down 59.9% to 1838 million yen; ordinary profit down 60.9% to 1777 million yen; and interim net profit attributable to parent company shareholders fell 29.4% to 2196 million yen, sales of 198000 million yen, which is the earnings forecast for the second quarter announced at the beginning of the fiscal year. Profit was 4600 million yen, ordinary income 4600 million yen, and interim net income attributable to parent company shareholders of 3200 million yen, and it landed downward in all categories. In particular, the margin below operating profit has increased compared to sales, and this is due to the fact that the gross profit margin dropped 0.3 points from 26.8% to 26.5% compared to the same period last year, while the SG&A expenses ratio rose 1.0 point from 24.5% to 25.5%. Also, the biggest reason sales did not reach sales is the decline in sales in the entertainment sector such as white goods such as televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines, and games. Looking at the increase or decrease in sales by type, televisions fell 4.7% from the same period last year, refrigerators fell 7.1%, washing machines and cleaners fell 5.6%, microwaves/cookware fell 6.6%, which was negative across the board, and games, models, toys, and musical instruments fell 17.8% from the same period. The consumer electronics industry as a whole, including the company, has seen an advance in demand in the past few years due to an increase in the frequency of staying at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which are the main products handled, and it seems that adjustments were also affected by adjustments due to that reaction, but there are varieties with a large drop compared to the same period last year compared to other companies, and sales per store in the 2nd quarter also fell 2.9% from the same period last year, and it is somewhat worrisome that it is negative in consciously suppressing store openings .


It has sufficient financial security. In the second quarter, some ASICS shares were sold out of policy holdings, and a profit of 1831 million yen was recorded from the sale of investment securities. The trend of dissolving relationships is positive
