Performance\nAccording to the preliminary performance report for the USS Group used car auctions in FY2026 Q4 (Jan\u2013Mar 2026), the number of listings was 915,965 units, representing 104.6% year-over-year. The number of transactions was 631,630 units, an increase of 110.1% year-over-year, with the transaction rate improving to 69.0%, up from 65.5% in the same period last year. For the full fiscal year (Apr 2025 to Mar 2026), listings totaled 3,504,437 units and transactions amounted to 2,347,566 units, both marking a 109.4% increase year-over-year, while the transaction rate remained steady at 67.0%. By region, many locations, including Kyushu, HAA Kobe, and Tokyo, experienced transaction volume growth exceeding 10% compared to the same period last year.\n\n### Outlook and Impact on Investors\nThe increase in the number of listings and transactions as well as the improved transaction rate in the used car auction market indicate a strengthening of the USS Group\u2019s revenue base. Especially, the quarterly rise in transaction rate in Q4 reflects improved sales efficiency and is expected to positively influence future performance. However, since the transaction rate remained flat year-over-year for the full fiscal year, ongoing monitoring of market trends is necessary. Investors should closely watch upcoming quarterly results and consolidated financial announcements.","jir_financial_highlights":"Number of Listings (Jan\u2013Mar 2026): 915,965 units (104.6% Year-over-Year)\nNumber of Transactions (Jan\u2013Mar 2026): 631,630 units (110.1% Year-over-Year)\nTransaction Rate (Jan\u2013Mar 2026): 69.0% (Improved from 65.5% Year-over-Year)\nNumber of Listings (Apr 2025\u2013Mar 2026): 3,504,437 units (109.4% Year-over-Year)\nNumber of Transactions (Apr 2025\u2013Mar 2026): 2,347,566 units (109.4% Year-over-Year)\nTransaction Rate (Apr 2025\u2013Mar 2026): 67.0% (Flat compared to 67.0% Year-over-Year)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#USS_Co_Ltd, #UsedCarAuction, #SalesTrends, #sales_update, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Q4 Listings: 915,965 units (104.6% Year-over-Year)\nQ4 Transactions: 631,630 units (110.1% Year-over-Year)\nQ4 Transaction Rate: 69.0% (65.5% Year-over-Year)","jir_meta_title":"USS Co., Ltd.
