4. Overview
For September 2022, we reported net sales of ¥36,301 million (up 9.2% year-on-year), gross profit of ¥3,334 million (up 3.6%), operating profit of ¥1,860 million (down 3.1%), and ordinary profit of ¥2,165 million (up 3.3%)on a non-consolidated basis.
During the period, Gyomu Super opened seven stores, resulting in 987 stores in total, an increase of 45 stores from a year earlier. As such, net sales increased driven by the continued coverage on many television programs and social media as well as successful pricing strategies that have created customer satisfaction.
Our product shipments to Gyomu Super stores remained strong, with an increase of 1.7%from a year earlier to existing stores in directly managed areas, an increase of 7.9%to all stores in directly managed areas, and an increase of 8.3%to all stores nationwide.
In terms of our product trends, conveniently available frozen vegetables have continued showing a strong positive trend. In addition, bulk items for commercial use such as restaurants saw an increase in shipments year-on-year.
We are running a marketing campaign titled "Gyomu Super Stores Loaded with Bargains! Storewide Customer Appreciation Sale Autumn 2022," until the end of October, which is received very well. Details of the campaign can be found on our website https://www.gyomusuper.jp/sale/202209_10/(available in Japanese only).
