Net Sales, Operating Income, Ordinary Income and Net Income for the Third Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2020

「As a result, revenue for the nine-month period of the fiscal year ended March 2020 was ¥22,293 million, up 10.2% year on year, reflecting contributions from new store openings in the domestic store operations business and steady sales at existing stores. The overseas store operations business also continued to grow despite risk factors in the political and economic conditions of each region. In terms of profit, although the contribution from the overseas store operations business increased, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, mainly due to increases in labour and logistics costs in the domestic store operations business, caused the segment’s operating margin to deteriorate by approximately 2 percentage points. As a result, consolidated operating income was ¥704 million, up 0.1% year on year. Ordinary income was ¥658 million, down 4.8% year on year, as non-operating income declined from the same period of the previous year, mainly because dividend income decreased following the sale of cross-shareholdings. Net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥530 million, up 1.3% year on year, due to the recognition of gains on the sale of investment securities and a decrease in extraordinary losses.」
