TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – MARCHE CORPORATION (7524.T) reported its fiscal year 2026 results, which showed significant differences compared to previously announced forecasts. The company's earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, fell below expectations due to lower sales performance and unexpected expenses.
According to the latest figures released today, revenue was reported at 4,767 million yen, down from the previous forecast of 4,800 million yen. Operating profit came in at -29 million yen, compared to the earlier estimate of -13 million yen. Similarly, ordinary profit was revised downward to -33 million yen from -18 million yen, while net income per share dropped to -¥7.13 from -¥5.31. The discrepancies stem from several factors.
Despite initial projections indicating a recovery in existing store sales during the fourth quarter, actual sales in February and March lagged behind the same period last year. Additionally, unplanned closures of franchise stores further impacted overall revenue. Increased personnel costs and promotional expenses also exceeded budgetary estimates, contributing to reduced profitability. In light of these challenges, MARCHE CORPORATION continues to face pressure on its bottom line, with net income falling short of expectations due to additional non-operating losses such as impairment charges.
