Co., Ltd. has published an overview of the North America business including current status and challenges, operational improvements through app implementation, PMI initiatives and store expansion, organizational management, and risk management for institutional investors.","jir_summary":"### Current Performance and Outlook\nThe sales slowdown in the North America business is analyzed to be mainly due to operational deficiencies stemming from system integration rather than economic or competitive impacts. The number of mini locations performing ideally has surpassed the previous year, demonstrating confidence in service demand. The primary factor behind the stock price decline is perceived to be the delayed launch of the US operations. Restoring performance swiftly is set as the top priority.\n\n### Operational Improvements and PMI Initiatives\nThe company has introduced the 'Kiddleton Force' operation app tailored for unmanned stores in North America, reducing manual cash count and bank deposit efforts, with a trend of recovery in staff store patrol frequency. As part of PMI, store replacements of existing game machines, switching to larger prizes, and adding add-on equipment at game centers have been implemented. Adding new equipment in existing stores contributes to increased sales and customer attraction.\n\n### Store Expansion and Organizational Management\nExpansion into major cinema complexes and restaurant chains is accelerating. Withdrawal from existing locations inside Walmart is planned to be carried out over several years, with new stores being opened in tenants\u2019 areas that are 5 to 10 times larger than traditional small sections. On the organizational front, strengthening governance through increased Japanese personnel is ongoing, along with negotiations on cost efficiencies and lower commission rates. Additionally, maintaining entry barriers through regulatory compliance and addressing inflation and tariffs are also considered.","jir_financial_highlights":"Primary cause of sales slowdown: Unknown (Primarily due to operational deficiencies caused by system integration, influenced by economic conditions and competition)\nMini Location Count: Approximately 12,000 locations (Unknown)\nNumber of Game Center Add-on Target Stores: Approximately 1,700 locations (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#GendaCoLtd, #NorthAmericaBusiness, #BusinessStrategy","jir_key_figures":"Mini Location Count: approximately 12,000 locations\nGame Center Add-on Target Store Count: approximately 1,700 locations\nWithdrawal from existing Walmart locations: 2,000 stores (phased)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Genda Co., Ltd.\u3011Explanation of Current North America Business and PMI Initiatives\uff5cMay 2026","jir_meta_description":"Genda Co., Ltd. has announced the key points of an investor briefing on the causes of sales decline in North America, operational improvements, PMI initiatives, store expansion, and organizational management enhancements.","jir_og_title":"\u3010Genda Co., Ltd.\u3011Explanation of Current North America Business and PMI Initiatives\uff5cMay 2026","jir_og_description":"Details of challenges in North America, implementation of operational apps, PMI strategies, store expansion plans, and organizational enhancements explained to institutional investors.","jir_og_image_url":"\/assets\/og\/company-business_update.jpg","jir_chart_data_collection":"[]","ir_related_company":9398,"ir_release_date":"","ir_type":"","ir_is_new":false,"ir_document_url":"","jir_ir_type":"business_update","footnotes":""},"sector":[],"importance":[],"class_list":["post-46649","ir_release","type-ir_release","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
