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.
