Treasure Factory Co.,LTD. [3093.T]
TOKYO, Apr 16 (Pulse News Wire) – Treasure Factory CO.,LTD. (3093.T) reported positive impacts from rising fuel costs on its operations, citing increased demand for used goods due to supply chain disruptions.
The company also noted a recovery in sales to Chinese tourists despite initial concerns, driven by strong performance across other regions such as Australia and Europe. Regarding operational improvements, the firm highlighted three key factors contributing to higher gross profit margins: changes in acquisition methods, favorable sales mix from low-price items, and effective winter inventory management.
However, the company acknowledged that while gross margin rates might decline due to high-margin but lower-volume categories like Kindorl, overall operating profit margins remain robust. Looking ahead, Treasure Factory plans to invest in AI and digital transformation initiatives to enhance productivity and expand its sourcing channels beyond traditional retail stores.
Additionally, the company aims to open up to 800 domestic stores in the long term, balancing growth with inventory and staffing needs.
