Fiscal Year Ending December 2026 Q3 Financial Summary

Overview of Results

For the nine months ended December 2026, consolidated revenue increased approximately +19.0% year-over-year, operating income rose about +23.8%, and net income increased around +18.9%, delivering strong performance. Both the MonotaRO.com and Enterprise businesses outperformed plans, and improvements in national brand (NB) gross margin and private brand (PB) mix lifted overall profitability above plan. Although a pullback from prior inventory pre-purchases of petroleum-derived products was assumed as an external factor, improved retention rates secured revenue growth. Overseas subsidiaries also performed steadily. Looking ahead, the company will continue to pursue growth investments and shareholder returns in line with its medium- to long-term growth policy.

Outlook and Shareholder Returns

While on track to meet initial plans, the company will respond flexibly to external factors such as demand trends for petroleum-derived products, expansion of office-related products, and unit price increases for control equipment. Over the medium to long term, the company continues to target revenue growth exceeding 15% and ROE above 30%. Under the shareholder returns policy, a dividend payout ratio of 50% or more is used as a guideline, and surplus cash will be allocated to growth investments or share buybacks.
