Shiseido Company, Limited (OTCPK:SSDOY) Q2 2025 Earnings Conference Call August 6, 2025 3:45 AM ET Company Participants Ayako Hirofuji - CFO, Corp. Exe.

Ltd.
I'm upgrading Shiseido to Buy, as the company's new compensation scheme aligns the interests of management and minority shareholders. Key brands ELIXIR and ANESSA have untapped potential, which can be realized through pricing adjustments and geographic expansion, respectively. SSDOY is attractively valued at below 1x P/S, which also represents a huge discount to its peer.
Shiseido Company, Limited (OTCPK:SSDOY) Q4 2024 Results Conference Call February 10, 2025 3:30 AM ET Company Participants Kentaro Fujiwara - President and COO Ayako Hirofuji - Chief Financial Officer Conference Call Participants Akiko Kuwahara - JPMorgan Securities Wakako Sato - Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Mitsuko Miyasako - Mizuho Securities Hisae Kawamoto - Jefferies Katsuro Hirozumi - Daiwa Securities Takashi Miyazaki - Goldman Sachs Kentaro Fujiwara Today, I will first explain the key points of the results for 2024 and the outlook for 2025. And then CFO, Hirofuji, will explain the details of the results, and I will then explain the main issues to be addressed in 2025.
Shiseido's Q3 2024 results missed expectations, as the net sales decline for its travel retail segment worsened from -15% YoY in Q2 2024 to -38% YoY in Q3 2024. A medium-term valuation re-rating catalyst for SSDOY is the potential expansion in its operating margin that could allow it to command a higher multiple closer to that of its peer. I retain a Hold rating for Shiseido, considering the company's near-term financial underperformance and the presence of a potential mid-term catalyst.
