Results at a glance

  • Sales climbed +9.2% to ¥416.5B.
  • Profit lagged: operating income rose +5.2% to ¥17.9B, and net income just +2.4% to ¥12.7B.
  • Belc spent ¥23.3B on stores and equipment, more than the ¥20.9B its operations brought in, so free cash flow slipped to -¥2.39B.

What drove the change

  • Belc kept its shelf prices below rivals' while raising them when needed, and leaned on point card deals and other promotions.
  • Stores opened last year ran a full year, and new ones this year added sales.
  • Pay raises, more staff and pricier contract drivers made SG&A grow faster than sales.
  • One weak store was written down as an impairment loss.
  • Operating cash flow dipped because trade payables grew less than the year before.

Things to watch

  • Suppliers keep raising prices, and inflation may make shoppers cut back
  • Rivals opening nearby and price wars in the same areas
  • Not finding enough good sites to keep opening stores as planned
