[Financial Overview]
  • Net sales

    Net sales increased by ¥9,173 million (6.9%) year on year with robust new store openings and continued strong product shipments to existing stores.

  • Gross profit

    Gross profit increased by ¥2,504 million (16.4%) year on year, as price pass-through measures and the optimization of procurement sources successfully offset rising purchase costs.

  • SG&A expenses

    SG&A expenses increased by ¥714 million (11.6%) year on year, due to higher freight costs associated with increased sales at Gyomu Super, as well as increases in rent expenses and personnel expenses due to wage hikes.

  • Operating profit

    As a result of the factors above, operating profit increased by ¥1,790 million (19.6%) year on year.

  • Ordinary profit

    Ordinary profit decreased by ¥6,745million (43.5%) year on year, due to a valuation loss on forward exchange contracts following the appreciation of the yen at the end of January.

  • Profit attributable to owners of parent

As a result of the factors above, profit attributable to owners of parent decreased by ¥4,678 million (44.2%) year on year.
