Fiscal 2026 revenue rose 8.8%
Operating profit increased 5.9% to 23,970 million yen
Net income attributable to owners of the parent rose 8.3% to 16,990 million yen for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, despite the recognition of impairment losses.
Revenue reached 497,128 million yen, up 8.8%, as new store openings, acquisitions that increased the store base, an everyday-low-price strategy focused on essential goods, and steady pharmacy sales supported growth.
Gross profit increased 6.5% to 126,953 million yen, reflecting higher revenue and a larger contribution from pharmacy sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 6.6% to 102,983 million yen as the company worked to control expenses, including personnel costs.
The company opened 33 drugstores during the fiscal year and closed nine drugstores through store replacement, lease expirations, and efficiency measures.
The company opened 28 pharmacies, comprising 27 pharmacies attached to drugstores and one stand-alone pharmacy, while closing two attached pharmacies after lease expirations and efficiency measures.
The company acquired nine stand-alone pharmacies through the purchase of Sun F and acquired eight food supermarkets through the purchase of Yao-han Holdings.
Total assets stood at 255,350 million yen at fiscal year-end, an increase of 18,789 million yen from the prior fiscal year-end.
Fixed assets increased 12,829 million yen as the company added new stores and properties being prepared for openings.
The company is pursuing new pharmacy formats, including small station-front stores focused on dispensing, clinic-mall development, and pharmacies that consolidate home-care services.
The company plans to continue strengthening drugstore-attached pharmacy openings and expects the number of prescriptions it handles to increase.
Changes to official drug-price standards and pharmacy dispensing-fee schedules may affect results because pharmacy revenue includes drug income and dispensing-technology income calculated using those official prices and fees.
