Are there any differences in the method of recording sales between the past and the present?
Effective from the financial year ended February 2023, the Company adopted the "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, 31 March 2020).
Major changes are as follows:
- Shops handling purchase-as-sold consignment sales in department stores records retail sales as "net sales," and sales commissions (amount equivalent to rents) for department stores as "SG&A". (Under the old revenue recognition standard, the amount of retail sales minus sales commissions was recorded as "net sales".)
- For its purchase-as-sold consignment products, the Company records income from sales commissions only as "net sales". (Under the old revenue recognition standard, retail sales were recorded as "net sales".)
- The entire fee for applying loyalty programme points is deducted from "net sales". (Under the old revenue recognition standard, part of it was recorded as "SG&A".)
