Riso Kyoiku posts wider Q1 loss despite record sales

Riso Kyoiku reported a consolidated net loss of JPY383 million for the three months ended May 31, 2025, compared to a JPY208 million loss in the prior year, despite net sales reaching a first-quarter record of JPY7,110 million.

The wider loss was attributed to increased fixed costs from salary raises, higher rents, and strategic investments in a holding company transition, digital transformation, and new store openings.
