Domestic market growth buoys Pola Orbis results

摘要

The gradual recovery of the Japanese cosmetics market has seen Pola Orbis post modest growth figures for the first quarter of 2013. Despite slowdowns in personal spending in China and India, the rest of Asia continues to grow slowly, according to the company. Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 grew 5.9% year on year to ￥41.24bn primarily due to the acquisition of Jurlique last year. Both Jurlique and H2O~+ saw steady growth in Asia, contributing to a net income rise of 74.3% year on year to ￥1.26bn.
