Shiseido Company, Limited Revises Consolidated Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025 Shiseido Company, Limited revised consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. For the year, the company expects net sales of JPY 965,000 million, operating loss of JPY 42,000 million, loss attributable to owners of parent of JPY 52,000 million and basic loss per share of JPY 130.17 against previous guidance of net sales of JPY 995,000 million, operating profit of JPY 13,500 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 6,000 million and basic earnings per share of JPY 15.02. Net sales for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 are expected to fall short of the previous forecast, primarily reflecting the deceleration of inbound tourism consumption in Japan, a market slowdown in the U.S., as well as continued weakness with Drunk Elephant.

While there may be an impact of certain factors including a decline in gross profit due to lower sales and the U.S. tariff policy, these will likely be largely offset by the benefits of company-wide structural reforms and cost management. The operating profit, profit before tax and profit attributable to owners of parent are expected to fall short of the previous forecasts as the Company has recognized a goodwill impairment loss of ¥46.8 billion. The operating profit, profit before tax and profit attributable to owners of parent are expected to fall short of the previous forecasts as the Company has recognized a goodwill impairment loss of ¥46.8 billion in the third quarter of the year, in light of the results of an impairment test conducted due to the declined profitability in the Americas Business.
