Premier Anti-Aging is a company that develops and sells skincare, haircare, and inner care products, as well as operates a recovery wear business that supports rest and recovery. The company offers a range of beauty and wellness products including cleansing balms, all-in-one cosmetics, supplements, and recovery wear.

The primary customer base is general consumers, with sales primarily driven through direct-to-consumer e-commerce. The company secures stable revenue through a subscription model, while also generating revenue from wholesale sales to retail partners and cross-border sales to overseas markets including China.

The business is divided into two main segments: the Anti-Aging business and the Recovery business. The Anti-Aging segment operates cosmetic product lines under brands including DUO, CANADEL, and CLAYENCE. The Recovery business operates through subsidiary VENEX, selling recovery wear and related products made with proprietary materials, appealing to a broad customer base ranging from professional athletes to general consumers.

The company prioritizes expanding corporate value as its core growth strategy, managing key metrics including revenue, operating profit, net income attributable to parent company shareholders, and operating profit margin. With Japan's domestic cosmetics market steady at approximately 3.245 trillion yen in 2024 and the cleansing market at approximately 142.5 billion yen, the company's flagship product "DUO The Cleansing Balm" has held the top category sales position for seven consecutive years. Leveraging this strength, the company aims to slow revenue decline and establish a foundation for full-scale recovery from the fiscal year ending July 2026 onward.

The company is making priority investments in brand strengthening and differentiation. Specifically, it will enhance brand value through new product launches and limited editions, while directing resources toward quality control and supply chain improvements to stabilize product supply and develop differentiated ingredients. Additionally, the company aims to increase customer lifetime value by expanding customer management through its subscription model and implementing cross-selling and average transaction value improvement initiatives for existing customers.

The company is actively expanding sales channels and exploring new markets. While strengthening reach to untapped customer segments through direct-to-consumer sales, it is developing the dedicated brand "Lalaskin" for wholesale channels and diversifying distribution through enhanced partnerships with e-commerce platforms and retailers. Internationally, the company will continue cross-border sales to China and inbound-linked initiatives, while expanding its recovery business (recovery wear and similar products through subsidiaries) as a growth area, aiming to drive group-wide revenue growth through store expansion and digital initiatives.

The company views technological innovation as key to growth and is investing in research and development and digitalization. Beyond exploring active ingredients for skincare and supplements and improving formulations such as balms and gels, it is developing proprietary materials for recovery wear and conducting efficacy verification. By leveraging customer data for advanced digital marketing and customer management, the company aims to align product development with sales strategies, pursuing long-term brand value enhancement rather than short-term promotional activities.
