Qualitative Information / Financial Statements
1. | | Qualitative Information Regarding Consolidated Business Results |
During the first quarter of the current fiscal year, a stagnation in corporate profits due to the economic slowdown in the U.S. and steep rises in the price of crude oil have led to a deceleration of the Japanese economy. Consumer activity also continued to struggle as consumer confidence has been hit by increases in gasoline and food prices. Domestically, business results have been sluggish across many sectors, including department stores and mass merchandisers, due to a decline in consumer spending as a result of a growing anxiety among consumers and focus on their basic living needs. Results in the women’s fashion and clothing industry have also been slow.
In this environment, our group (primarily Wacoal Corp., which is the core operating entity in our group) sought to improve the strength of its products and endeavored to develop products that are sensitive to market trends.
In Wacoal Corp.’s Wacoal brand business department, sales of our spring campaign product, LALAN, were below plan. Although LALAN products launched during the summer showed performance that was more in line with expectations, sales of LALAN products overall were significantly below our initial plan due to the poor spring results. On the other hand, we prepared a sales plan based on the results of the previous fiscal year for our new functionality underwear Style Science series, the sales of which declined significantly during the previous fiscal year. As a result, sales of our Style Science series exceeded our expectations. The overall sales of our high value-added brand products, however, which target the middle-aged and senior markets, were weak. As a result of these factors, the overall sales of our Wacoal brand business department were below the results from the previous fiscal year due to the overall decline in the sales of our core brassieres products, including the campaign products.
In our Wing brand business department, although our spring campaign products, V-Style Bra and New Natural Up Bra, achieved our sales plan, the sales of our summer campaign product Sara Hada Bra were below our initial sales plan, and sales of other brassiere products were weak as well. Our Style Science series exceeded our initial sales plan, but did not achieve the same level of sales as the previous fiscal year. The Cross-Walker, a Style Science product for men, showed favorable sales and achieved our initial annual sales plan within approximately three months of launch. For this reason, we expect this line to expand in the future. Assisted by the favorable Cross-Walker performance, the overall sales of the Wing brand business department remained unchanged from the results of the previous fiscal year.
Regarding our specialty retail store business conducted through Wacoal Corp.’s direct retail store business and our Une Nana Cool subsidiary, both exceeded the results from the previous fiscal year.
As for our catalog sales business, sales significantly exceeded the results from the previous fiscal year due to strong Internet sales and success in our catalog promotion which resulted in the acquisition of new consumers and an increase in average spending per customer.
During the previous fiscal year, Peach John Co., Ltd. (“Peach John”) became a wholly owned subsidiary. Although order intake numbers for the spring and summer catalogs declined, catalog sales exceeded the results from the previous fiscal year due to an improvement in the number of summer catalog products. On the other hand, with respect to direct retail stores, the sales of the existing shops were weak and fell below the results from the previous fiscal year. As a result, the overall sales of Peach John remained unchanged from the results of the previous fiscal year.
As for our overseas business, despite factors such as the economic slowdown, a decline in over-the-counter sales followed by a decline in consumer spending and inventory adjustments, sales in the United States were unchanged from the previous fiscal year on a local currency basis. However, U.S. sales declined on a yen basis due to the effect of foreign currency exchange. Earnings were thus down significantly due to the decrease in sales on a yen basis and decreased profitability as a result of store discounts. Our business in China continued to show steady performance as it did in the previous fiscal year. In addition to the expansion of Wacoal brand products, we have begun to expand our youth-oriented brand, Amphi, and endeavored to strengthen its product appeal. Furthermore, starting this July, we have signed up Ayumi Hamasaki, an artist who is popular in Japan, China and other Asian countries, as our new image girl for a joint marketing promotion in Asian countries. In China, in addition to the marketing promotion with Ayumi Hamasaki, we are also working to improve our brand recognition and expand market share by actively expanding our store spaces.
As a result, consolidated business results for the first quarter of the current fiscal year were as follows: sales were 42,004 million yen (an increase of 1.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year); operating income was 2,397 million yen (a decrease of 42.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year); income before equity in net income of affiliated companies and minority interests was 1,861 million yen (a decrease of 64.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year); and net income was 1,279 million yen (a decrease of 63.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year). The overall cost to sales ratio in the current first quarter improved 0.4% from the previous fiscal
4
year as a result of a reduction in Wacoal Corp.’s store inventory and a decrease of returned products. On the other hand, income has significantly decreased at each level compared to the results from the previous fiscal year. The decrease in our operating income was due to several factors, including an increase of approximately 20 million yen for pension expenses of Wacoal Corp., a decrease of approximately 70 million yen in sales for the first quarter of the current fiscal year because a slight delay in our promotional sale will push some of the resulting sales into the second quarter of the current fiscal year, a loss of approximately 60 million yen in connection with the dissolution of Tokai Wacoal Sewing Corp. as of the end of June and the effect of a one time gain of approximately 20 million yen during the first quarter of the previous fiscal year from the sale of fixed assets. Our income before equity in net income of affiliated companies and minority interests was affected mainly by approximately 1 billion yen of valuation loss on investment in securities as a result of the decline in stock prices of shares held by the Company as well as the effect of a one time gain of approximately 50 million yen from the sale of investment securities during the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. These special factors and one-time events have been incorporated into our forecast of consolidated business results released on May 9, 2008.
2. | | Qualitative Information regarding Consolidated Financial Condition |
(1) Status of Assets, Liabilities and Total Shareholders’ Equity
Our total assets as of the end of the current consolidated first quarter was 233,947 million yen, a decrease of 7,672 million yen from the end of previous consolidated fiscal year, as a result of a decrease in time deposits and certificates of deposit and a decrease in investments in affiliated companies due to currency exchange fluctuations.
In terms of liabilities, our current liabilities were 50,528 million yen, a decrease of 3,627 million yen from the end of previous consolidated fiscal year, as a result of decreases in accounts payable, accrued bonuses in connection with summer bonuses, and accrued taxes due to the payment of corporate taxes, etc.
Shareholders’ equity was 181,215 million yen, a decrease of 3,898 million yen from the end of previous fiscal year due to the payment of dividends and foreign currency exchange adjustments.
As a result of the above, our total shareholders’ equity ratio as of the end of the current consolidated first quarter was 77.5%, an increase of 0.9% from the end of previous fiscal year.
(2) Cash Flow Status
Cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the first quarter of the current fiscal year were 22,127 million yen, a decrease of 5,916 million yen from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year.
(Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities)
Cash flow used in operating activities was 1,123 million yen due to an increase in inventories and the payment of bonuses and corporate taxes which more than offset contributions from net income and depreciation and amortization.
(Cash Flow Provided by Investing Activities)
Cash flow provided by investing activities was 114 million yen due to proceeds from the redemption of marketable securities.
(Cash Flow Used in Financing Activities)
Cash flow used in financing activities was 4,283 million yen due to a cash dividend payment.
3. | | Qualitative Information regarding Forecast of Consolidated Business Results |
We have not amended our forecast of consolidated business results released on May 9, 2008.
The economic slowdown is gradually accelerating due to the sub-prime mortgage crisis, steep rises in the price of crude oil, foreign currency fluctuations and increased inflation concerns around the world, and we expect that we will continue to face a difficult business environment, including a decline in consumer spending.
As for our domestic business, we will continue to make efforts to develop and further expand the sales of our LALAN products and our Wacoal brand campaign brassieres despite the difficult business environment. As for our new functionality underwear Style Science series, we will develop Cross-Walker products for women and will aim to achieve
5
synergetic effect and try to continue expanding sales through television advertising to market the products both for men and women and conduct joint store campaigns.
During the autumn/winter season this year, we expect that the interest of consumers in saving energy and in thermal garments will be enhanced due to the inflating oil prices. Therefore, we plan to expand our Sugoi line, a line of lingerie which recorded sales largely exceeding our expectations during the previous fiscal year, to include garments for men and children, and will aim to exceed the level of sales recorded during the previous fiscal year.
As for our overseas business, Wacoal Luxe, our brand sold at upscale department stores, gained the support of our business partners and is showing steady sales in the United States. We will also make efforts to improve our profit margin and restore our business performance by reducing the cost of materials. We will also strengthen our efforts in China by opening shops for our youth orientated brand, Amphi, which has entered full-fledged development, through a three-brand structure, including the high value-added brand Salute. We will thereby meet the needs of our diversified consumers and further aim to penetrate the Chinese market with the Wacoal brand and expand market share by actively developing our advertising activities with Ayumi Hamasaki, the new image girl of Wacoal.
| (1) | | Changes in significant subsidiaries in the first quarter of the current fiscal year (change in scope of consolidation): Not applicable. |
|
| (2) | | Application of simplified accounting methods and specific accounting methods in preparing quarterly consolidated financial statements: Not applicable. |
|
| (3) | | Changes in accounting principles, procedures and indication method relevant in preparing quarterly consolidated financial statements: |
| (i) | | Fair Value Measurements |
|
| | | In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. FASB Standard No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FASB Standard No. 157 is applicable under other accounting standards which demand or accept fair value measurements and therefore is not intended to introduce new fair value measurements. FASB Standard No. 157 will be effective for our financial statements for the current consolidated fiscal year. The adoption of FASB Standard No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, business results or cash flow status. |
|
| (ii) | | Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FSAB Standard No. 115 |
|
| | | In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Standard No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Standard No. 115”. FASB Standard No. 159 permits an entity to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. FASB Standard No. 159 also prescribes the terms for indications and disclosures in order to simplify comparisons among entities that adopt different measuring method for similar assets and/or liabilities. FASB Standard No. 159 will be effective for our financial statements for the current consolidated fiscal year. However, the Company has chosen not to elect the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities and, for this reason, the adoption of this statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, business results and cash flow status. |

Wacoal Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) hereby announces that its board of directors (the “Board”) resolved at a meeting held on July 30, 2008 to issue and offer stock options in the form of stock acquisition rights as follows:
Note
I. | | Reason for Granting Stock Acquisition Rights |
|
| | The Company will issue stock acquisition rights to the directors of the Company (excluding outside directors) and the directors of Wacoal Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company, so that the directors can share in the potential benefit of an increase in stock value as well as bear the risk of a decline in stock value as a further incentive to improve the Company’s stock price and corporate value. |
|
II. | | Terms and Conditions of the Stock Acquisition Rights (Eligible Recipients: directors of the Company, excluding outside directors) |
| 1. | | Name of the Stock Acquisition Rights: Wacoal Holdings Corp. First Stock Acquisition Rights |
|
| 2. | | Total Number of Stock Acquisition Rights: 40 |
|
| | | The total number of stock acquisition rights above is the expected number to be granted. If the number of stock acquisition rights to be granted turns out to be less than the number shown above because of a shortage of applications or other circumstances, the number of stock acquisition rights issued will be the actual number of stock acquisition rights to be granted. |
|
| 3. | | Class and Number of Shares to be Issued upon the Exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights |
|
| | | The class of shares to be issued upon the exercise of the stock acquisition rights will be the common stock of the Company, and the number of shares to be issued for each stock acquisition right (the “Conversion Ratio”) will be 1,000. |
|
| | | In the event that the Company conducts a stock split (including the gratis allocation of shares of common stock of the Company; hereinafter the same) or a reverse split of its common stock, the Conversion Ratio will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: |
| | | | | | | | |
Adjusted Conversion | | | | Conversion Ratio | | | | Ratio of stock split |
Ratio | | = | | prior to adjustment | | X | | or reverse stock split |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | This adjustment will apply from the day following the record date in the case of a stock split and from the day on which the reverse stock split becomes effective in the case of a reverse stock split.
