TOKYO, Mar 19 (Pulse News Wire) – Satudora Holdings CO.,LTD. (3544.T) reported its third quarter revenue for the fiscal year ending May 2026, totaling ¥741 million, up 1% from the same period last year.
However, operating profit declined to ¥9 million, down 25%, due to rising costs and competitive pressures. The company's retail division saw increased sales in beauty care categories but faced challenges from higher commodity prices and reduced consumer spending. Inbound tourism also struggled amid travel restrictions from China, impacting overall performance.
Despite these hurdles, Satudora continued to focus on cost reduction through digital transformation initiatives and store optimization strategies aimed at improving profitability and customer engagement. For the full fiscal year ending May 2026, Satudora forecasts revenues of ¥2.6 trillion, a 0.3% increase from the previous year, with targeted improvements in gross margin, expense management, capital efficiency, and shareholder returns. The company plans to enhance its private brand offerings and expand its online presence to capitalize on emerging opportunities while maintaining strong ties with local communities across Hokkaido.
