This growth was supported by continued consumer saving tendencies amid rising prices, expansion of newly handled merchandise, and an increase in inbound foreign visitors. Gross profit also increased by 5.0% to 71.4 billion yen. However, selling, general and administrative expenses significantly increased by 8.6% to 49.4 billion yen due to higher personnel and delivery costs, resulting in operating income declining by 2.2% to 21.9 billion yen. Ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of the parent also decreased.\n\n### Business Environment and Challenges\nWhile consumer thriftiness and rising costs persist, demand for outings and climatic factors supported the market. In particular, steady performance in cosmetics and health foods as well as strong sales of winter merchandise boosted revenue. On the other hand, increased logistics costs and upfront expenses associated with leasing external centers were the primary drivers of higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Moving forward, the company plans to leverage external centers and improve delivery efficiency to control costs and enhance profitability.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 950.6 billion yen (YoY +4.3%)\nOperating Income: 21.9 billion yen (YoY -2.2%)\nGross Profit: 71.4 billion yen (YoY +5.0%)\nSelling, General and Administrative Expenses: 49.4 billion yen (YoY +8.6%)\nOrdinary Income: 24.5 billion yen (YoY -3.4%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 17.3 billion yen (YoY -5.3%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#PALTAC, #FinancialResultsBriefing, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 950.6 billion yen (YoY +4.3%)\nOperating Income: 21.9 billion yen (YoY -2.2%)\nSelling, General and Administrative Expenses: 49.4 billion yen (YoY +8.6%)","jir_meta_title":"PALTAC FY2026 Q3: Net Sales Rise 4.3% to 950.6 Billion Yen, Operating Income Falls 2.2% to 21.9 Billion Yen","jir_meta_description":"PALTAC's FY2026 third quarter financial results briefing materials.
