In the consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies, MAKE HOUSE, a consolidated subsidiary, achieved strong results in receiving orders for the high-definition architectural space simulation service "MAKE ViZ," which was launched in October 2021, resulting in a significant increase in sales of 155.3% compared to the same period last year. Furthermore, MUJI HOUSE, an equity method affiliate, recorded an equity method investment loss in the first quarter of the consolidated accounting period, as the delivery timing of properties is concentrated in the second and fourth quarters. However, starting from the second quarter, in addition to single-family home sales, the delivery of two wooden retail stores that are already under construction is also planned, which is expected to turn the company into a profit.

The full-year consolidated performance forecast for the fiscal year ending in March 2025 remains the same as the initial plan, with sales expected to increase by 12.2% to 8.976 billion yen compared to the previous year, operating profit expected to increase by 168.6% to 0.223 billion yen, ordinary profit expected to increase by 497.0% to 0.285 billion yen, and net income attributable to parent company shareholders expected to be 0.208 billion yen.
