KOSÉ Corporation is a prominent player in the cosmetics industry, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and known for its diverse range of beauty products and innovative approaches to skincare and makeup.
In its latest earnings report for the first quarter of 2025, KOSÉ Corporation reported a modest increase in net sales, despite facing various economic challenges globally. The company continues to navigate through a slow economic recovery in Japan and uncertain market conditions in Asia and North America.
Key financial highlights include a 1.8% increase in net sales to 78,998 million yen, driven by strong performance in Japan, particularly with the ALBION brand. However, the company faced a decline in operating profit by 15.7% and a significant drop in ordinary profit by 49.8%, attributed to higher costs and foreign exchange losses. The cosmetics segment saw a 2.2% increase in sales, while the cosmetaries segment remained flat.
Looking ahead, KOSÉ Corporation remains focused on its Vision for Lifelong Beauty Partner–Milestone 2030, aiming to enhance profitability and expand its market presence in Asia. The company is cautiously optimistic, maintaining its full-year forecast and continuing to adapt to evolving market conditions.
