Financial Results Overview

For April 2026, Kobe Bussan achieved sales of 52.4 billion yen (up 2.3% YoY), with operating profit of 3.276 billion yen (down 6.4% YoY). Ordinary income was 3.769 billion yen, shifting from a deficit of 820 million yen in the same period last year, and the number of stores increased to 1,137. Sales and profits maintained a steady trend, with contributions from store expansion and improved shipment results. Notably, strong performance of sale-targeted products and increased demand for materials due to geopolitical factors in the Middle East also supported the earnings.

Future Outlook and Investor Impact

The company plans to continue expanding store openings and maintaining solid shipment performance and sales. Despite exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, hedging effects are expected to keep ordinary income above the previous year. For investors, the ongoing store expansion and steady sales suggest a need to monitor profit fluctuations, but continuous profitability and growth in store count reinforce long-term growth expectations.
