The return of tax penalties of $8.9 million significantly reduced tax expenses, contributing to a substantial net profit increase of 106.6% in Q4 2025 [9]. Retail Business - The retail business experienced revenue pressure due to same-store sales declines and increased discounts. In Q4 2025, revenue fell by 3.9%, primarily due to ongoing store closures and weak customer traffic. The gross margin decreased by 1.2 percentage points to 33.5%, and the operating profit margin dropped by 2.9 percentage points to 1.5%, mainly due to e-commerce-related expenses. The net profit margin for Q4 2025 was 0.9%, down 2.4 percentage points year-on-year [9]. Future Outlook - Overall, the manufacturing business is expected to face short-term pressure, but new capacities in Indonesia and India are anticipated to contribute positively in the future.

The forecast for net profit attributable to shareholders is $360 million in 2026 and $421 million in 2027, with corresponding P/E ratios of 9 and 8 times, respectively [9].
