Business

HOUSE OF ROSE Co., Ltd. is a private-brand cosmetics manufacturer founded in 1982, whose core operations are the Directly-Operated Store Product Sales Business (net sales of ¥8,957 million) and the Wholesale Business (net sales of ¥1,376 million), selling skincare, bath, and body care products through three channels: directly-operated stores, e-commerce, and wholesale. In addition, the company operates the Directly-Operated Store Service Business (net sales of ¥1,208 million), which runs British-style reflexology salons and the women-only fitness club "Curves". Leveraging brand value centered on "Suhada Migaki" (skin polishing/refinement) and experience-based customer service as its strengths, the company reaches a wide range of female customers through directly-operated stores nationwide, e-commerce sites, mass retailers, and individually-owned stores. Listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Business Model

The company manufactures in-house developed private brand (PB) products (Milcure, Oh!Baby, barrierise, and others) via OEM production, and sells them through multiple channels: experience-based customer service (hand washing) at directly-operated stores, its own e-commerce site, third-party malls, wholesale to mass retailers, and general wholesale. The Directly-Operated Store Service Business (Curves Business, Relaxation Salon Business) supplements stable revenue through monthly membership fees and treatment fee income. In April 2025, the company acquired the "MAMA BUTTER" brand business, aiming to expand sales as a brand for wholesale and e-commerce channels.

Company Strengths

'Fureru Sekkyaku' (hands-on customer service), centered on hand-washing (a proprietary sales technique in which the customer's hand is used as a stand-in for the face to demonstrate facial cleansing methods while explaining how to use the product), constitutes the company's own sales strength that competitors find difficult to imitate in the short term. The introduction of unified ID (point integration) has increased the number of registered members and opportunities for LINE information distribution, and E-Commerce Business (Company-Operated Site) sales achieved a 2.6% year-on-year increase.

The company maintains diverse sales channels including directly-operated stores, its own e-commerce site, third-party malls such as Amazon, wholesale to major mass retailers, wholesale to individually-owned stores, and cross-border e-commerce in China. Of the company's total sales of ¥11,542 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026), the Directly-Operated Store Product Sales Business accounted for 77.6%, the Wholesale Business for 11.9%, and the Directly-Operated Store Service Business for 10.5%, achieving risk reduction through channel diversification and a wider variety of customer touchpoints.

Curves, a fitness club exclusively for women, achieved a membership count of 10,490 as of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) (an increase of approximately 770 from the end of the previous fiscal year), and the Directly-Operated Store Service Business boasts an operating margin of 14.1%, the highest profitability level among all segments. Combined with the TV commercial effect from the franchisor, the number of new members and merchandise sales have remained solid, and the stable cash flow from monthly membership fee income underpins the company's overall earnings.

ENVALITH's Perspective

The operating loss of the Directly-Operated Store Product Sales Business worsened to ¥124 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026), from a loss of ¥116 million in the previous period. Company-wide operating profit fell to ¥69 million (down 43.7% year on year), and net income attributable to owners of parent came to ¥1 million (down 97.9% year on year), effectively amounting to a disappearance of profit. This resulted from a combination of factors: a decline in new customers due to accelerated closure of unprofitable stores and a review of sales promotion measures, ¥31 million in initial costs recorded for MAMA BUTTER, and rising personnel expenses. Structural deterioration in earning power continues.

The earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) projects a substantial recovery, with net sales of ¥12,100 million (up 4.8% year on year) and operating profit of ¥160 million (up 129.7% year on year). The main drivers of this recovery are expected to be expanded sales to wholesale and e-commerce channels following the completion of MAMA BUTTER's production infrastructure, improved earnings structure after the rationalization of unprofitable stores, and growth in Curves Business membership (target of 11,200 members). However, given that results have fallen short of plan for two consecutive periods, a cautious view is warranted regarding the achievability of this forecast.

Cash flow from operating activities in FY2026 (ending March 2026) turned negative to ¥(144) million (versus a positive ¥63 million in the previous period), while the annual dividend was maintained at ¥25.00 per share (¥117 million in total), pushing the payout ratio to 7,036.9%. Funds were supplemented by proceeds from the sale of investment securities (¥208 million in income), but the remaining balance of such securities has declined to ¥6 million. Cash and cash equivalents remain substantial at ¥2,240 million, but continued negative operating cash flow would gradually erode financial flexibility. Externally, weak consumer sentiment amid rising prices and yen depreciation also remains a headwind.

Growth Strategy

Under a three-year medium-term management plan, aim for earnings recovery through cosmetics business restructuring, MAMA BUTTER brand development, and digitalization

With "exfoliating care" positioned as the brand's symbolic domain, brand value is being enhanced through integrated strengthening of the hand-wash experience, product value, and store environment. Unprofitable stores are being closed ahead of schedule based on profit-and-loss criteria in order to improve the earnings structure. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the number of store closures has already exceeded the initial plan.

For MAMA BUTTER, whose business was acquired in April 2025, the company has established its own production system and entered the full-scale operation phase. Sales expansion is being accelerated as a brand for the wholesale division and E-Commerce Business, targeting sales growth in cross-border e-commerce, major mass retailer, and general wholesale channels. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), initial costs of ¥31 million have already been recorded.

The unification of store points (single-ID integration), fully introduced in the second half of FY2025 (ended March 2025), is being further deepened to promote the integration of the members systems for directly-operated stores and the E-Commerce Business. Through strengthened promotional measures such as LINE membership integration, expanded payment options, and SNS live commerce, the company aims to maintain the growth trajectory of its company-operated e-commerce site while increasing the number of customers who use both physical stores and e-commerce.

Membership at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) reached 10,490 members. As the business marks its 20th anniversary in the next fiscal year, store renovations, relocations, and new store openings are under consideration, with a target of 11,200 members by fiscal year-end. Staffing optimization, curbing membership cancellations, improving enrollment rates, and increasing merchandise sales such as protein products are also being promoted in parallel.
