Takashimaya reports 1.1% August sales increase amid mixed segment performance

Takashimaya Co., Ltd. announced its operating results for August 2025, reporting a total sales increase of 1.1% year-on-year for Takashimaya stores and its domestic department store subsidiaries. This figure includes sales from all Takashimaya stores, corporate business, and cross-media business.

Store-specific performance varied, with Osaka and Omya stores showing significant sales growth of +8.6% and +13.7% respectively. EC sales also saw a robust increase of +14.6%. However, corporate business experienced a substantial decline of △34.4%, and cross-media business fell by △20.2%, attributed to a planned reduction in catalog pages.

Domestic customers contributed positively, driven by new events, leading to a strong performance in food, summer apparel, and miscellaneous goods. While inbound customer sales for cosmetics, women's clothing, and sports goods increased year-on-year, high-end luxury items performed negatively, impacting overall inbound results. As of September 15, store sales for September are tracking at +6.5% year-on-year.
