Results at a glance

  • Gross profit grew faster, at +4.5%, but operating income rose only +2.9% to ¥26B as operating costs climbed.

  • Operating cash flow jumped +233.7% to ¥74.5B, and free cash flow turned positive at ¥61.9B after a small outflow the year before.

What drove the change

  • New stores, a bigger online grocery business, and stronger private brands such as BIO-RAL lifted sales
  • SG&A rose with rent for new stores, cashless payment fees, IT costs, and higher wages, but kaizen work and tighter spending on other expenses offset much of it
  • The cash flow jump came mainly from a rise in amounts owed to suppliers

Things to watch

  • Rising labor costs from staff shortages and wage increases that the company may not fully absorb
  • Higher purchase prices from poor harvests and raw material costs, plus higher store energy bills
  • Tougher competition from drugstores, discounters, and online retailers moving into groceries
