TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – Minoya CO.,LTD. (386A.T) reported strong sales growth for its fiscal third quarter ending June 2026, with revenue up 7.4% compared to the same period last year.
Operating profit also improved significantly, rising to 7.2%. The company attributed the improvement primarily to reduced costs associated with fewer new store openings during the quarter—only three stores were opened compared to twelve in the previous quarter. Despite higher personnel expenses and rent costs, along with increased payment fees due to expanded operations in Cashless Kessai Hiritsu, operating margins remained stable at 2.6% percent. Looking ahead, Minoya plans to continue expanding its store network strategically while focusing on cost control measures to further enhance profitability.
Regarding earnings, although ordinary income showed a year-over-year increase, net income declined due to impairment losses of ¥104 million related to underperforming stores and higher corporate taxes resulting from capital increases. The company expects full-year revenues to grow by ¥26.36 billion percent, with operating profits increasing by ¥786 million percent, ordinary profits by ¥849 million percent, and net profits by ¥479 million percent compared to the prior year. As of the end of the third quarter, progress towards annual targets stands at 72.9% percent for sales, 64.1% percent for operating profit, 65.1% percent for ordinary profit, and 43.7% percent for net profit. For the upcoming fourth quarter, Minoya anticipates opening just one new store, which should help mitigate additional costs and contribute positively to overall performance.
The company remains committed to leveraging economies of scale through procurement efficiency improvements and operational streamlining efforts across its retail outlets.
