Earnings Presentation Materials for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2026

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, revenue was roughly in line with the previous fiscal year, but the company fell into an operating loss due to a decline in customer numbers and higher labor, raw material, and logistics costs. Structural reforms, including the closure of unprofitable stores, the rollout of new-format stores, and logistics integration, are under way, and the company plans to return to profitability in the fiscal year ending March 2027.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

In addition to existing-store customer numbers coming in below expectations at 98.2% of the year-earlier level, higher labor costs following the minimum wage revision, persistently high raw material and logistics costs, headquarters costs, and investment in human resources put pressure on profit.
