The KeePer Lab operations, operating 167 stores composed of 139 directly managed and 28 franchises, posted sales of 808,895 thousand yen, up 14.6% year-over-year. Sales at 127 existing directly managed stores grew 7.5% YoY, showing particularly strong growth of 10.0% in regions excluding the heavy snowfall area in northern Japan. Meanwhile, the KeePer product-related business recorded 644,735 thousand yen, down 0.4% YoY; however, the aftermarket-focused KeePer Pro Shop sales increased 5.6%, supported by the launch of the new product 'DIA \u2161 KeePer.' The new car dealer segment grew 12.9%, but was restrained by a decline in new vehicle registrations.\n\n### Business Segment Trends and Challenges\nIn the KeePer Lab operations, customer visits increased 25.4% due to rising car wash demand, while average unit price declined 10.7%. The new product DIA \u2161 KeePer performed well, with the Diamond KeePer series sales up 7.3%, but EX KeePer sales declined 2.4%. Labor productivity stood at 6,056 yen\/hour, slightly down from the prior year. In the KeePer product-related business, the aftermarket mainly at gas stations shifted from a slight decrease to a slight increase. Although some manufacturers showed growth in the new car dealer segment, sluggish sales growth at Toyota is a challenge. Non-automotive markets remain tough, with efforts underway to expand via restructuring the sales organization.","jir_financial_highlights":"Company-wide Sales: 1,453,630 thousand yen (7.3% increase YoY)\nKeePer Lab Operations Sales: 808,895 thousand yen (14.6% increase YoY)\nKeePer Product-Related Business Sales: 644,735 thousand yen (0.4% decrease YoY)\nNumber of Directly Managed KeePer Labs: 139 stores (increase of 1 store)\nNumber of KeePer Lab Franchise Stores: 28 stores (increase of 1 store)\nLabor Productivity (Yen\/hour): 6,056 yen\/hour (approximately 7% decrease YoY)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KeePerTechnicalLaboratory, #MonthlySalesUpdate, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Company-wide Sales: 1,453,630 thousand yen (7.3% increase YoY)\nKeePer Lab Operations Sales: 808,895 thousand yen (14.6% increase YoY)\nKeePer Product-Related Business Sales: 644,735 thousand yen (0.4% decrease YoY)","jir_meta_title":"KeePer Technical Laboratory Co., Ltd.
