Tokyo Lifestyle Co., Ltd. Reports Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

TOKYO, July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tokyo Lifestyle Co., Ltd. ("Tokyo Lifestyle" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: TKLF), a retailer and wholesaler of Japanese beauty and health products, sundry products, luxury products, electronic products, collectible cards, trendy toys as well as other products in Hong Kong, Japan, North America, Thailand and the United Kingdom, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 ("fiscal year 2025"). Mr. Mei Kanayama, Principal Executive Officer of Tokyo Lifestyle, commented: "We are pleased to present a robust performance report for fiscal year 2025. Our total revenue increased by 7.4%, accompanied by a 2.3% increase in gross profit, reflecting the steady and healthy growth of our overall business. Throughout the year, we accelerated our expansion efforts by both strengthening our existing network and venturing into new territories. We successfully opened five new directly operated stores in the United States, Canada, and Hong Kong, reinforcing our business footprint and enhancing brand recognition in these key markets. Notably, revenue from directly operated physical stores increased by 14.4% during fiscal year 2025. "Simultaneously, we adopted a flexible and targeted approach to support our global expansion by integrating franchise stores and wholesale customers. Specifically, during fiscal year 2025, we added three new franchise stores and 54 new wholesale customers to our sales network. Revenue from franchise stores and wholesale customers increased by 9.1%. As part of this expansion roadmap, we have made selective and targeted adjustments to our online presence, including the closure of certain online stores, in line with our efforts to enhance operational efficiency and focus on higher-performing channels. "Overall, thanks to our ambitious yet well-planned expansion strategy, we remain confident in our business potential and long-term growth prospects. We believe that our profitability will continue to improve steadily as our global footprint becomes more established with the addition of further distribution outposts. "To better support this long-term vision, we continue exploring opportunities in new territories and emerging business sectors. Recently, we have established a new subsidiary in Australia, and planned store openings in Vietnam, Australia, and the Middle East, which we believe to be vibrant markets that are integral to a balanced global strategy. "Concurrently, we have expanded into new product categories, including collectible cards and trendy toys, now offering over 1,300 stock keeping units ("SKUs") within our sales network. Signature products such as Pokémon cards and BE@RBRICK figures not only enrich our product portfolio but also reflect our commitment to stay ahead of evolving consumer trends. We believe these additions will appeal to a broader young consumer base, becoming a promising new revenue stream that injects strong momentum into our growth trajectory. "We believe that our diligent efforts and operational excellence have earned widespread recognition from both the market and investors. With a robust cash reserve and strong financing capability, we are well-positioned to support our ongoing expansion, an achievement that is particularly noteworthy amid the current macroeconomic environment. "Looking ahead, we remain committed to our core strategies, focusing on disciplined execution to drive sustainable growth and deliver greater value to our stakeholders, who continue to be our steadfast supporters and partners in success." Mr. Youichiro Haga, Principal Accounting and Financial Officer of Tokyo Lifestyle, remarked: "We are proud to report the Company's solid financial performance for fiscal year 2025. Despite our continued expansion and globalization efforts, we have maintained a strong financial position to support both current operations and future growth. "As of March 31, 2025, we held $4.8 million in cash, a significant increase from $2.5 million as of March 31, 2024. Additionally, we had approximately $107.3 million in accounts receivable from third parties. Approximately 31.9% of this balance has already been collected as of today, and the majority of the remaining balance is expected to be collected by December 31, 2025. This continued cash inflow further strengthens our financial capability to support our strategic growth initiatives. "Our cost of revenue increased by 8.1%, generally in line with revenue growth, primarily reflecting the ongoing expansion and associated increases in payroll and operational costs in new regions. At the same time, we implemented rigorous cost control measures, notably by reducing online sales-related expenses, such as transaction fees to third-party e-commerce platforms, as well as promotion and advertising costs. "Thanks to these disciplined efforts, we managed to maintain a moderate 9.1% increase in total operating expenses, keeping pace with our expansion. This result highlights the effectiveness of our operational management and prudent cost discipline, supporting our broader strategic blueprint. "For fiscal year 2025, we reported net income of $6.6 million. "Looking forward, we will continue adhering to disciplined cost management and sound investment strategies to further enhance our financial foundation and drive sustainable long-term growth."

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results Revenue Revenue increased by 7.4%, to $210.1 million for fiscal year 2025, from $195.7 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase in the Company's revenue consisted of increased revenue from directly-operated physical stores and franchise stores and wholesale customers.

The increase was mainly due to increased revenue from franchise stores and wholesale customers by 15.1%, to ¥28,215.6 million for fiscal year 2025, from ¥24,524.6 million for fiscal year 2024, as well as increased revenue from directly-operated physical stores by 21.3%, to ¥2,597.6 million for fiscal year 2025, from ¥2,142.0 million for fiscal year 2024.

The increase was mainly due to increased revenue generated from the United States and Canada, which resulted from full year operations of the Company's existing directly-operated physical stores in these countries, as well as three newly-opened physical stores in the United States. Meanwhile, revenue generated from Hong Kong also increased since the Company opened one physical store during fiscal year 2025. In addition, the Company offered promotion activities and price discounts to the Company's customers, which attracted more customers to make purchases at the Company's physical stores, and revenue from the Company's existing physical stores in Hong Kong also increased in fiscal year 2025 as compared to the same period last year. The above-mentioned increase was partially offset by decreased revenue from directly-operated physical stores in Japan. Revenue from franchise stores and wholesale customers increased by 9.1%, to $185.5 million for fiscal year 2025, from $170.0 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase was mainly due to the Company's continuous effort in extending the Company's products offering as the Company's total SKUs increased from approximately 151,700 SKUs during the fiscal year 2024, to approximately 201,300 SKUs during fiscal year 2025. In addition, there was increased revenue from the new wholesale customers because the Company continued to develop the Company's customer base by entering into business relationships with new wholesale customers during fiscal year 2025. Cost of Revenue Total cost of revenue increased by 8.1%, to $186.2 million for fiscal year 2025, from $172.3 million for fiscal year 2024. Gross Profit and Gross Margin Gross profit increased by 2.3%, to $23.9 million for fiscal year 2025, from $23.4 million for fiscal year 2024. Gross margin remained relatively stable at 11.4% for fiscal year 2025. Operating Expenses Operating expenses consist of selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, which primarily include payroll, employee benefit expenses and bonus expenses, shipping expenses, promotion and advertising expenses, and other facility-related costs, such as store rent, utilities, and depreciation. Operating expenses increased by 9.1%, to $19.2 million for fiscal year 2025, from $17.6 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the following factors: a decrease in net recovery of credit losses by 89.2%, to $(220,368) for fiscal year 2025, from $(2,043,939) for fiscal year 2024. The decrease in net recovery of credit losses was mainly due to the collection of long-term receivables and accounts receivable, causing a large net recovery of credit losses during fiscal year 2024; an increase in payroll, employee benefit expenses, and bonus expenses by 15.2%, to $6.5 million for fiscal year 2025, from $5.7 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase was mainly due to increased payroll, employee benefit expenses, and bonus expenses of $1.3 million in Hong Kong, the United States and Canada, which was due to the increased headcount caused by the expansion of the Company's business operation in these regions. The increase was partially offset by the decreased payroll, employee benefit expenses, and bonus expenses of $0.4 million in Japan, which was attributable to the decreased headcount resulting from the implementation of cost control as well as the transformation of the Company's directly-operated physical stores in Japan; an increase in lease expenses by 24.0%, to $2.5 million for fiscal year 2025, from $2.0 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase was mainly due to the full year operations of the Company's existing directly-operated physical stores in the United States and Canada, as well as the opening of new physical stores in the United States and Hong Kong in fiscal year 2025; a decrease in transaction commission paid to third-party e-commerce marketplace operators by 31.9%, to $1.3 million for fiscal year 2025, from $1.9 million for fiscal year 2024. The Company paid third-party e-commerce marketplace operators transaction commission ranging from 1.8% to 3.0% based on the Company's sales amount. The decrease in transaction commission was in line with the decrease in the Company's online sales; a decrease in promotion and advertising expenses by 77.8%, to $0.2 million for fiscal year 2025, from $0.8 million for fiscal year 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the Company's effort in cost control as well as decreased promotion and advertising expenses for the Company's physical stores as the Company has transformed some of the Company's physical stores into franchise stores; and a decrease in professional service fees by 8.8%, to $3.2 million for fiscal year 2025, from $3.5 million for fiscal year 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased professional fees paid to the Company's lawyers for services incurred for the consumption tax examination and issuance of shares. Interest Expenses, net Interest expenses, net included interest expenses calculated at interest rate per loan agreements and loan service costs, which were directly incremental to the loan agreements and amortized over the loan periods. Interest expenses, net increased by 7.0%, to $1.7 million for fiscal year 2025, from $1.6 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase was mainly due to an increase in interest expenses of $441,203, which was mainly due to the increased weighted average interest rate for fiscal year 2025, which was partially offset by the decrease in amortized loan service costs in relation to the Company's syndicated loans by $328,525. Other Income, net Other income, net primarily includes tax refund, disposal gain or loss from property and equipment, government subsidy, and other immaterial income and expense items. Other income, net decreased by 52.1%, to $364,294 for fiscal year 2025, from $760,435 for fiscal year 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased gain from disposal of property and equipment as compared to the same period of last year. Gain (loss) from Foreign Currency Exchange Loss from foreign currency exchange was $440,055 for fiscal year 2025, as compared to a gain from foreign currency exchange of $3,065,971 for fiscal year 2024. The loss from foreign currency exchange was mainly due to the fluctuations of foreign exchange rates on the Company accounts receivable that denominated in foreign currencies such as U.S. dollar during the fiscal year 2025. It was also due to the loss from foreign currency exchange by the Company's Hong Kong subsidiary, which was mainly due to the significant fluctuations of foreign exchange rate on its payables that were denominated in Japanese Yen during the fiscal year 2025. Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes Benefit for income taxes was $1.9 million for fiscal year 2025 as compared to provision for income taxes of $0.5 million for fiscal year 2024. Provision for income taxes decreased by 512.3%. The decrease in provision for income taxes was mainly due to the decreased current income tax expenses resulted from decreased taxable income for fiscal year 2025 and the refund of tax after the ruling from the National Tax Tribunal, dated February 12, 2025. Net Income Net income decreased to $6.6 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to $7.5 million for fiscal year 2024, primarily due to loss from foreign currency exchange and change in fair value of warrants. Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share was $0.16 for fiscal year 2025, compared to $0.20 for fiscal year 2024. Diluted earnings per share was $0.19 for fiscal year 2025, compared to $0.20 for fiscal year 2024. Financial Condition As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $4.8 million in cash as compared to $2.5 million as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Company also had approximately $107.3 million of account receivable balance due from third parties. Approximately 31.9% of the March 31, 2025 balance has subsequently been collected, and the majority of the remaining balance is expected to be collected by December 31, 2025. The collection of such receivables made cash available for use in the Company's operations as working capital, if necessary. Net cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million for fiscal year 2025, mainly derived from a net income of $6.6 million for the year, and net changes in the Company operating assets and liabilities, which mainly included increased prepaid expenses and other current assets of $10.8 million, and decreased taxes payable of $8.9 million, which was partially offset by the increased deferred revenue of $8.0 million, increased accounts payable of $2.9 million and a decrease in compensation receivable for consumption tax of $0.7 million as the Company has received payments from the debtors according to the collection plan. The Company entered into a sales agreement with a wholesale customer and received advance payment of $6.9 million during fiscal year 2025. In order to fulfill the sales agreement, the Company made advance payments to the Company's suppliers to secure the products. Therefore, the Company's prepaid expenses and other current assets and deferred revenue increased significantly during fiscal year 2025. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $964,193 for fiscal year 2025, mainly due to purchases of property and equipment in the aggregate amount of $992,068, partially offset by proceeds from disposal of property and equipment of $39,367. Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.0 million for fiscal year 2025, which primarily consisted of proceeds from short-term borrowings of $5.8 million, partially offset by repayments of short-term borrowings of $1.4 million, repayments of long-term borrowings of $0.2 million and repayment of obligations under finance leases of $0.2 million.
