We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our shareholders for your continued support.
KURAUDIA Group has been reforming its business for 50 years, since the founding of Kyoto Order Sewing, the predecessor of KURAUDIA HOLDINGS Co., Ltd., to become a comprehensive bridal service corporation.
This progress is attributable to the steadfast support of our shareholders, our valued customers, and the dedicated efforts of all employees within the Group.

As part of the Group’s growth strategy, we are committed to develop high-quality and attractive products within our core Wholesale Business Division as a leading manufacturer of wedding apparel. We will also enhance our brand value through the active dissemination of information.
Next, in our Consumer Business Division, which is a growth business, we will aim to expand our network of locations by establishing new partnerships and opening new stores, while also carefully examining the profitability of each location and promoting a scrap-and-build approach.
Our objective is to achieve medium- to long-term growth by leveraging the strengths of both business divisions and capitalizing on the synergies that arise from their collaboration.

In addition, one of our business strategies in recent years has been to expand our business domains through M&A.
While the bridal market faces challenges due to a decline in the number of marriages among other factors, there is also an increasing momentum for business restructuring in the market.
Our Group is also working proactively with other companies that share our vision of revitalizing the bridal industry as a whole and enhancing corporate value.
Furthermore, we believe that securing and developing talented human resources is essential for the growth of the Group. We are enhancing our recruitment measures in line with our business strategy and enhance employee training as we focus on developing human resources that can respond to the diversifying needs of our customers.
We will continue to aim to create a flexible organization that can respond to the rapidly changing environment.

Lastly we remain focused on achieving consistent profits above a certain level and maintaining stable dividends. We are targeting a dividend payout ratio of 30% and a dividend on equity ratio (DOE) of 2.5% or higher while securing a certain level of profit over the medium to long term.
The Group is committed to working collaboratively to meet its objectives and enhance business performance. We kindly request the continued support and guidance of our shareholders.
