Business Details
An SPA (Speciality store retailer of Private label Apparel) company that handles the planning, manufacturing, and sale of jewelry products (precious metals, gemstones, and accessories) in an integrated manner. Domestically, it operates 78 stores (as of end of May 2026) mainly in department stores and shopping centers, and also runs EC Business, wholesale, and Affluent Business operations. Overseas, it holds a retail business in Taiwan and a production base through its own factory in Vietnam (D&Q JEWELLRY Co., Ltd). As the first year of its medium-term management plan "festaria 2030," the company is pursuing a transformation from "No. 1 SPA company in spiritual value" to "a community company connecting feelings to the future."
Recent Overview
Sales increased, but profit declined sharply due to soaring raw material prices, higher costs, and the recording of prior-period corporate taxes
In the nine months of the third quarter of FY2026 (ending August 2026) (September 2025 to May 2026), net sales achieved growth, reaching ¥7,483 million (up 8.9% year on year), but the gross profit margin declined by 1.85 percentage points due to rising costs from a 63.4% year-on-year increase in gold prices and a 104.8% year-on-year increase in platinum prices. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.4% year on year due to higher personnel costs, sales promotion expenses, and outsourcing costs, causing operating income to fall to ¥87 million (down 41.3% year on year). In addition, the recording of ¥63 million in prior-period corporate taxes, etc. contributed to a sharp decline in quarterly net income, which fell to ¥21 million (down 81.7% year on year). Borrowings increased by ¥1,236 million, with short-term borrowings expanding to ¥2,900 million. The full-year earnings forecast (net sales of ¥10,100 million, operating income of ¥330 million) remains unchanged.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Increased domestic store sales (up 8.0% year on year) driven by the expansion of bridal-related products under "Wish upon a star" and steady sales of standard and bullion products
- High growth in EC sales (up 46.7% year on year) through the use of "Staff DX" and expansion into third-party malls, along with the new ZOZOTOWN storefront
- Improvement in sales per customer (up 6.2% year on year) through CRM strategy promotion
- Expansion of the customer base in the Affluent Business through strengthened collaboration with department store outside sales and financial institution wealth management divisions
- Enhanced supply chain management sophistication, inventory optimization, and improved competitiveness of the SPA model through the launch of the new core system (planned during FY2026)
- Improved capital efficiency through a shift to a stable procurement structure positioning ingots as a strategic asset and the introduction of "substantive CF"
Risks
- Decline in gross profit margin due to soaring raw material prices such as gold and platinum (in the nine months of the third quarter, gold prices rose 63.4% year on year and platinum prices rose 104.8% year on year), as well as shortages in platinum material procurement and delays in the timing of price revisions
- More cautious purchasing behavior driven by consumers' heightened cost-of-living awareness and increasing polarization of consumption amid prolonged price increases
- Increase in selling, general and administrative expenses (up 7.4% year on year) due to higher personnel costs, sales promotion expenses, and outsourcing costs
- Increased outsourcing costs and risk of operational delays associated with the introduction of a new core system (final preparations underway for operation to begin during FY2026)
- Rising financial leverage and declining equity ratio (20.5%) due to increased borrowings (short-term borrowings of ¥2,900 million)
- Pressure on net income from temporary expenses such as prior-period corporate taxes, etc. recorded (¥63 million in the nine months of the current third quarter)
- Uncertainty in the business environment due to geopolitical and macro risks such as conditions in the Middle East, US trade policy, and financial and capital market volatility
