However, operating income was 11,355 million yen (86.7% YoY), ordinary income 11,716 million yen (85.0% YoY), and net income attributable to owners of parent for the quarter was 7,760 million yen (82.6% YoY), all falling short of the previous year and plan. The gross profit margin was 9.76%, down 0.11 points from the previous year, and SG&A expenses increased to 63,642 million yen (up 103.7% YoY). Sales growth was mainly driven by strong performance in the H&B and pet categories, expansion of exclusive and prioritized distribution products, and increased sales of large-volume and high value-added products due to higher unit prices.\n\n### Challenges, Countermeasures and Future Outlook\nWhile sales are expanding, slowing profit margins and increasing SG&A expenses remain issues. Internal factors include the need to improve inventory turnover and strengthen in-store management, while external factors include increased center fees and rebates, plus inflation-driven rises in SG&A costs. In response, strategies will be reviewed from both customer and product perspectives, product strategies adjusted to optimize inventory, transaction processes proposed for greater efficiency, and inflation countermeasures promoted. The full-year ordinary income forecast has been revised down from 16 billion yen to 13 billion yen, recognizing this as a significant turning point due to environmental changes. The company will return to its wholesale business fundamentals to strengthen both offense and defense. In the second half, concrete measures to improve gross profit amount and suppress SG&A ratio will be implemented, aiming to achieve the year-end sales target of 1,006 billion yen.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 768,285 million yen (Year-over-Year 101.8%)\nGross Profit: 74,997 million yen (Year-over-Year 100.7%)\nSelling, General and Administrative Expenses: 63,642 million yen (Year-over-Year 103.7%)\nOperating Income: 11,355 million yen (Year-over-Year 86.7%)\nOrdinary Income: 11,716 million yen (Year-over-Year 85.0%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 7,760 million yen (Year-over-Year 82.6%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ArataCorporation, #FinancialResultsBriefing, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 768,285 million yen (Year-over-Year 101.8% increase)\nOperating Income: 11,355 million yen (Year-over-Year 86.7%)\nOrdinary Income: 11,716 million yen (Year-over-Year 85.0%)","jir_meta_title":"Arata Corporation FY2026 Q3 Financial Results - Net Sales at 768,285 Million Yen Mark 11 Consecutive Periods High","jir_meta_description":"Arata Corporation\u2019s FY2026 Q3 results posted net sales of 768,285 million yen (up 101.8% YoY), achieving the highest level for the 11th consecutive period.
