→Pricing Power: If it were truly luxury, inbound tourists wouldn't flock to buy simply because ‘it's cheaper in Japan

Answer : the company aims for ‘Timelessness.’ But the market doesn't see it that way.

→ When the boom fades, the luxury veneer peels away

sales correlate at 0.9 with search volume for ‘retro sneakers’. This proves ‘boom dependency’, not ‘brand strength

The breakdown of these expenses is as follows:

  • Impairment loss on goodwill, etc.: ¥13,458 million
  • Impairment loss on store assets, etc.: ¥6,230 million
  • Loss related to extra retirement payments at overseas subsidiaries, etc.: ¥1,453 million
