Notice Regarding the Formulation of the Third Medium-Term Management Plan

Overview of the Third Medium-Term Management Plan

Izumi Co., Ltd. has formulated its third medium-term management plan for a five-year period from FY2026 (ending February 2027) to FY2030 (ending February 2031). The company will pursue a business model that is closely connected to local communities and evolve business structures that promptly respond to environmental changes. Its long-term vision for 2035 is to become the most community-oriented comprehensive lifestyle industry in the western Japan area. The plan is based on three fundamental strategies: the creation of new supermarket (SM) businesses, the evolution of general merchandise stores (GMS), and strengthening retail-related and new businesses.

Key Initiatives and Future Outlook

Looking back at the second medium-term plan, external environmental changes such as the COVID-19 pandemic and ransomware attacks led to a downward trend in profits, but the final year turned to profit growth. The third medium-term plan positions growth strategies including new store openings, large-scale revitalization, promotion of digital transformation (DX), human resource development, and strengthening group management. The company will also advance M&A to expand share in the food market and fortify its Sunny business. The targets are operating revenue exceeding 700 billion yen and an operating profit margin of over 5%. The company will reinforce local community-based store management and respond to diverse customer needs, aiming for sustainable growth.
