KeePer Lab Operations segment sales were 1,149,982 thousand yen, down 3.8% YoY, while the KeePer Product-Related segment recorded sales of 983,845 thousand yen, down 6.0% YoY. The KeePer Lab Operations segment operated a total of 172 stores, consisting of 141 directly operated stores and 31 franchise stores. Directly operated store sales declined 6.1% YoY, with existing 129 stores down 10.4%, but franchise store sales surged by 116.6%. The main factors behind the sales decline were fewer calendar working days, the reactionary decrease following rush demand before service price revisions, delay of new car deliveries to April and beyond, and cautious buying behavior caused by volatile gasoline prices amid the situation in Iran.\n\n### Segment Trends and Outlook\nIn the KeePer Product-Related segment, the aftermarket recorded a challenging 12.7% decrease YoY, while the new car dealer business remained strong with a 12.3% increase. The primary causes were external environmental factors and the reactionary decline following last year's rush demand, but there was no significant change to the demand base. The new product 'Heat Shield KeePer Film' has seen increased installation requests, and further demand expansion is expected. Although labor productivity declined 13.4% YoY, it remains controlled at a standard level, and the company is prepared to meet the anticipated demand increase in April.","jir_financial_highlights":"Consolidated Total Sales: 2,133,828 thousand yen (Down 4.9% YoY)\nKeePer Lab Operations Sales: 1,149,982 thousand yen (Down 3.8% YoY)\nKeePer Product-Related Business Sales: 983,845 thousand yen (Down 6.0% YoY)\nNumber of KeePer Lab Directly Operated Stores: 141 stores (Increased YoY (unclear))\nNumber of KeePer Lab Franchise Stores: 31 stores (Increased YoY (unclear))\nLabor Productivity: 6,952 yen\/hour (Down 13.4% YoY)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KeePerTechnicalLaboratory, #MonthlyFlashReport, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Consolidated Total Sales: 2,133,828 thousand yen (Down 4.9% YoY)\nKeePer Lab Operations Sales: 1,149,982 thousand yen (Down 3.8% YoY)\nKeePer Product-Related Business Sales: 983,845 thousand yen (Down 6.0% YoY)","jir_meta_title":"KeePer Technical Laboratory March 2026 Monthly Flash Report: Sales of 2,133,828 Thousand Yen, Down 4.9% YoY","jir_meta_description":"Monthly flash report for March 2026 from KeePer Technical Laboratory Co., Ltd.
