▲(22.46% Upside)
The score is driven primarily by solid profitability and manageable leverage, tempered by weakening free cash flow and slowing revenue. Technically, the uptrend is strong versus moving averages, but overbought indicators increase near-term risk. Valuation is supportive with a modest P/E, though the dividend yield is not a major cushion.
Positive Factors
High Profitability Margins
Sustained high gross and operating margins provide structural pricing power and buffer against retail volatility. These margins support reinvestment in service, store experience and partnerships, helping preserve earnings and competitive positioning even if top-line growth softens.
Manageable Leverage & Improving ROE
Moderate leverage combined with a sizable equity base and improving ROE indicates better capital efficiency and financial flexibility. This structural setup allows the company to fund investments, withstand moderate downturns, and pursue strategic initiatives without immediate balance-sheet stress.
Diversified Retail Revenue Streams
A mix of department stores, concessions, food & beverage, e-commerce and luxury partnerships reduces single-channel risk and smooths revenue seasonality. Structural diversification supports customer retention, higher-margin channels and long-term resilience as consumer shopping shifts.
Negative Factors
Slowing Revenue Trend
A declining top line over the trailing period signals persistent demand or competitive challenges. Structurally, weaker revenue constrains investment capacity, pressures margins over time, and raises execution risk for initiatives aimed at offsetting secular retail headwinds.
Weakened Free Cash Flow
A large drop in free cash flow and low conversion versus net income reduce durable financial flexibility. Persistently weak FCF can limit capex, shareholder returns and debt repayment options, forcing reliance on working capital or external funding in adverse conditions.
Large Absolute Debt Load
Even with moderate leverage ratios, a high nominal debt burden increases sensitivity to revenue shocks or rising rates. Structurally, sizeable debt can raise interest costs, limit strategic optionality and increase refinancing risk if cash generation stays pressured.

Takashimaya Company Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Income statement is strong with improved profitability (TTM net margin ~9.7%, EBIT margin ~12.1%) and revenue growth, while the balance sheet shows manageable leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.71) and growing equity. The main drag is cash-flow quality: free cash flow is positive (TTM ~¥24.8B) but conversion is weaker (FCF ~38% of net income), indicating potential working-capital/investment pressure.
Income Statement
72
Positive
Profitability has improved meaningfully versus earlier years, with TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) net margin at ~9.7% and EBIT margin at ~12.1% on solid gross margins (~56.9%). Revenue is growing, with TTM showing a strong pickup (+~5.0) and annual revenue rising from 2023 to 2025. The main weakness is volatility in the longer trend: results were materially weaker/loss-making in 2021 and saw a sharp revenue drop in 2022, highlighting cyclicality and sensitivity to demand conditions.
Balance Sheet
68
Positive
Leverage looks manageable with debt-to-equity around ~0.71 in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), and equity has steadily grown over the past several years, supporting balance-sheet resilience. Returns have improved (TTM return on equity ~8.8% vs ~6–8% in recent annual periods), reflecting healthier profitability. The key watch-out is still a meaningful absolute debt load, which can limit flexibility if operating conditions soften.
Cash Flow
57
Neutral
Cash generation is positive, with TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) operating cash flow of ~¥64.5B and free cash flow of ~¥24.8B, and TTM free cash flow growth is strong (+~56.3). However, cash conversion is a weaker point: free cash flow is only ~38% of net income in TTM (and down from ~60% in FY2025), suggesting working-capital swings and/or higher investment needs can pressure cash flow despite improving earnings.

Takashimaya Extends Tender Offer Period for 2028 Convertible Bond Buyback
Jan 13, 2026

Takashimaya Company, Limited has amended the terms and timetable of its previously announced tender offer for its Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2028, following a board resolution on January 13, 2026. To accommodate investors who require more time to prepare their bond tenders, the company has extended the tender period from January 15, 2026 to January 29, 2026 and pushed back the planned purchase and cancellation date from February 20, 2026 to February 26, 2026, while also moving the early tender premium deadline and the reference share price calculation period to later dates. These changes are intended to broaden investor participation in the buyback and proceed with the planned cancellation of purchased bonds and related treasury share measures without altering other previously disclosed terms, potentially aiding Takashimaya’s capital structure management and signalling a continued focus on shareholder-oriented financial policies.

Takashimaya Steadies Q3 Outlook as Finance Arm Gains Traction and Domestic Shoppers Offset Inbound Risk
Jan 13, 2026

Takashimaya reported that all business segments are broadly tracking its FY2025 third-quarter forecasts, with particularly strong momentum in its Finance segment driven by a revamped card reward program, robust new member growth, and higher transaction volumes, alongside expansion into private banking and M&A-led investment and lending. In its domestic department stores, solid spending by Japanese customers is offsetting emerging pressure on inbound sales due to China’s travel discouragement and potential flight cuts around Chinese New Year, prompting the company to hold its full-year guidance while working to lift margins by shifting its sales mix toward higher-margin fashion products and maintaining tight control of SG&A, even as it continues to invest in human capital, ESG and digital transformation to underpin its FY2026 profitability and longer-term earnings ambitions.

Takashimaya Warns of Profit Hit From Buyback and Cancellation of 2028 Convertible Bonds
Jan 6, 2026

Takashimaya Company’s board has approved the purchase and cancellation of its Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds due 2028 through a tender offer, a move that will generate an extraordinary loss equal to the difference between the bonds’ purchase price and their book value. Because the final loss will depend on how many bonds are tendered, the company cannot yet quantify the impact, but it expects consolidated profit attributable to owners of parent and non-consolidated net profit to decline by roughly 70% of the extraordinary loss after tax effects, and it plans to announce finalized figures and revise its earnings forecast if necessary once the amounts are determined.

Takashimaya to Buy Back and Cancel ¥60 Billion in Convertible Bonds, Delaying Treasury Share Cancellation
Jan 6, 2026

Takashimaya’s board has approved a tender offer to purchase the entire ¥60 billion outstanding issue of its zero coupon convertible bonds due 2028 and subsequently cancel them, aiming to execute large-scale shareholder returns more quickly while eliminating future dilution risk now that the share price is trading above the bonds’ conversion price. In connection with this move, the company has decided to postpone a previously scheduled cancellation of treasury shares acquired through buybacks, and it warns that the difference between the purchase price and book value of the bonds will be recorded as an extraordinary loss that could reduce profit attributable to owners of parent and non‑consolidated net profit by roughly 70% of that loss, with earnings forecasts to be revised once the final figures are known.

Takashimaya Maintains Full-Year Outlook as Nine-Month Profit Rises Despite Softer Revenue
Jan 6, 2026

Takashimaya reported consolidated results for the nine months ended 30 November 2025 showing a slight decline in operating revenue and profits year on year, with total operating revenue down 1.3% and operating profit down 10.3%, while profit attributable to owners of parent rose 14.0% due mainly to share-related factors and other non-operating items that lifted earnings per share to ¥99.00. The retailer maintained its full-year forecast, expecting a modest 1.7% decline in total operating revenue and an 8.7% drop in operating profit, but a slight increase in full-year profit attributable to owners of parent, alongside a planned annual dividend of ¥34 per share; the company also continued its shareholder return measures through treasury share buybacks and the purchase and cancellation of convertible bonds, moves that support per-share metrics and signal a focus on capital efficiency despite softer top-line growth.
