Tokyo Lifestyle Co., Ltd. Reports First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Revenue Increased by 94.3% YoY; Gross Profit Increased by 29.8% YoY
TOKYO, Dec. 19, 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, Vietnam, the United Kingdom and Australia, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first six months of the fiscal year 2026 ended September 30, 2025.
Mr. Mei Kanayama, Principal Executive Officer of Tokyo Lifestyle, commented: "The first half of fiscal year 2026 delivered broad-based, double-digit growth across our core business lines, with revenue from (i) franchise stores and wholesale customers and (ii) directly operated physical stores increasing by 102.5% and 47.1%, respectively. This growth was driven by our continuous efforts to expand our product offerings, acquire new retail and wholesale customers, and grow our global network of directly operated stores.
"During the period, we continued to enrich our product portfolio with a clear strategic focus on core categories such as beauty, luxury, and electronic products. Supported by our deliberate global expansion strategy and disciplined execution, sales to wholesale and retail customers in key regions accelerated, reflected in a 59.4% increase in total stock keeping units ("SKUs"), as well as revenue growth from additional physical stores and expanded operations in Hong Kong, the United States, and Canada.
"As commercial and retail environments continued to recover across our core markets, we amplified this momentum through targeted promotional initiatives and proactive pricing strategies built upon our mature membership system. Onsite promotions, including mall events, gifts with purchase above certain thresholds, and foot-traffic-driven activities, effectively boosted sales in our physical stores, particularly in the beauty product category.
"These combined efforts led to a 94.3% year-over-year increase in total revenue and a 29.8% increase in gross profit. We also sustained a stable and healthy overall gross margin of 8.3% across our business lines, underscoring our ability to balance scale with profitability.
"Despite the impact of prior-period tax adjustments and foreign exchange fluctuations, we remain optimistic and confident in our strategy and execution capabilities. To optimize resource allocation, we are placing greater emphasis on preparations for future expansion and making necessary investments in site evaluation, talent and customer retention and acquisition. At the same time, we are adopting more flexible collaboration models to strengthen our multi-channel sales network to stay aligned with evolving consumer behavior and industry trends.
"While steadily expanding our global physical store network, we are also actively exploring and piloting new technologies and partnership models to accelerate our online sales capabilities, which we believe will be an integral driver of our future growth. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our strategic direction and growth trajectory and expect to deliver sustained, profitable growth and long-term value for our shareholders."
Mr. Youichiro Haga, Principal Accounting and Financial Officer of Tokyo Lifestyle, commented: "We are pleased that the Company maintained robust and healthy growth during the first half of fiscal year 2026, supported by solid financial performance metrics. Alongside revenue growth that nearly doubled, our accounts receivable increased by 42.4% while the receivables turnover ratio declined only moderately, reflecting the effectiveness of our disciplined controls and balanced growth strategy. The period's net loss, primarily attributable to tax and foreign exchange impacts, does not reflect our operational performance. In fact, operating profit grew, highlighting ongoing enhancements in our core business fundamentals. We believe that stronger revenue and gross margin performance will lay a solid foundation for a sustained recovery in overall profitability.
"At the same time, merchandise inventories decreased by 27.6% despite the 59.4% increase in total SKUs offered, raising our inventory turnover ratio from 13 to 35. This demonstrates a healthy and orderly growth trajectory, too.
"We also optimized our liability structure by adjusting the mix of short- and long-term borrowings. The addition of new long-term borrowing not only reduced our financing costs and strengthened cash flow stability, but also signaled increased confidence from lenders and investors in our track record and long-term growth prospects.
"Looking ahead, we will continue to enhance our financial strength through disciplined cost management to support our global expansion strategy and deliver increasing long-term value for our shareholders."

Revenue from franchise stores and wholesale customers increased by 102.5%, to $176.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $86.9 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to the Company's continuous effort in extending its products offering as its total SKUs increased from approximately 165,200 SKUs during the six months ended September 30, 2024, to approximately 263,400 SKUs during the six months ended September 30, 2025. Especially, revenue from beauty products, luxury products and electronic products increased significantly during the six months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period last year. In addition, the increase was also due to revenue from new wholesale customers because the Company continued to develop its customer base by entering into business relationships with new wholesale customers during the six months ended September 30, 2025.
Revenue from directly-operated physical stores increased by 47.1%, to $10.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $6.9 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase revenue generated by the Company's directly-operated physical stores in Hong Kong due to the increased customer visits, which resulted from 1) rebounded number of tourists from mainland China and overseas countries; 2) greater effort spent by its sales team to carry out face-to-face promotion of its products; 3) optimized promotion and price discounts strategies, together with increased SKUs which attracted more customers; and 4) addition of one new physical store. The increase was also attributable to revenue generated from directly-operated physical stores in the United States and Canada due to its continuous business expansion in those countries. The Company currently operates five directly-operated physical stores in the United States and two directly-operated physical stores in Canada during the six months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to four directly-operated physical stores in the United States and one directly-operated physical store in Canada during the six months ended September 30, 2024.
Revenue from online stores and services remained relatively stable, and was $4.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue increased by 103.4%, to $174.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $85.9 million for the same period of last year.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit increased by 29.8%, to $15.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $12.1 million for the same period of last year.
Gross margin decreased to 8.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from 12.4% for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to promotional activities at directly-operated stores, as well as a higher proportion of lower-margin luxury and electronic product sales at franchise stores and wholesale customers.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by 35.8%, to $12.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, from $8.9 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher shipping expenses in line with the significant growth in sales from franchise stores and wholesale customers; increased travel expenses related to site inspections for new physical stores; higher payroll, employee benefits, and bonus expenses for talent incentivization; as well as rental and other expenses associated with business expansion.
Additional and Delinquent Tax due to Consumption Tax Correction
During the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded approximately $1.8 million in additional consumption tax in accordance with the latest assessment issued by the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau. The amount has been fully reflected in the Company's financial statements for the period.
Loss from Foreign Currency Exchange
Loss from foreign currency exchange decreased to approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $0.8 million for the same period last year.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants Liabilities
Change in fair value of the warrants liabilities was $(508,128) for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $(1,121,968) for the same period last year.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $1.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to higher current income tax expenses resulting from increased taxable income generated by the Company's Hong Kong subsidiary.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, net loss was $0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net income of $1.3 million for the same period of last year.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.02 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.03 for the same period of last year.
Financial Condition
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $2.2 million as compared to $4.8 million as of March 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Company also had approximately $148.6 million of account receivable balance due from third parties. Approximately 26.4% of the September 30, 2025 balance has been subsequently collected, and the majority of the remaining balance is expected to be collected by June 30, 2026. 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 $8.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, mainly derived from the net loss of $0.9 million for the period, and net changes in the Company's operating assets and liabilities, which mainly included the increased accounts receivable of $40.5 million resulted from the increased revenue during the period, partially offset by increased accounts payable of $33.3 million which was due to increased purchases to fulfill the Company's customer orders.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, mainly due to investment in life insurance policy of $0.6 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, which primarily consisted of proceeds from short-term borrowings of $8.2 million, proceeds from long-term borrowings of $4.8 million, and advances received from related parties of $1.5 million, partially offset by repayments of short-term borrowings of $8.2 million.
