AB&Company released its results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending October 2026 after trading ended on the 14th. Revenue was ¥16.577 billion, up 16.8% year on year, while profit before tax was ¥1.881 billion, up 53.3%.
The core company-operated hair salon business made a significant contribution to results, while the increase in the number of stores following the previous fiscal year’s M&A involving 3 hair salon operating companies also had an impact.
In addition, lower depreciation expense following a review of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, together with steady performance in the franchise business, supported results.
Following the announcement, the market may have focused on the expansion of the company-operated business and the effects of cost reductions as growth drivers. While expressions encouraging personal investment decisions are avoided, attention is expected to remain focused on developments from the next fiscal year onward.
