4. Overview
For July 2023, we reported net sales of ¥39,552 million (up 14.1% year-on-year), gross profit of ¥4,000 million (up 20.6%), operating profit of ¥2,333 million (up 24.3%), and ordinary profit of ¥3,065 million (up 100.4%)on a non-consolidated basis.
During the period, Gyomu Super opened two stores, resulting in 1,032 stores in total, an increase of 53 stores from a year earlier. In addition, net sales also increased driven by the continued coverage on television programs and social media.
Our product shipments to Gyomu Super stores remained strong, with an increase of 10.3%from a year earlier to existing stores in directly managed areas, an increase of 15.5%to all stores in directly managed areas, and an increase of 15.3%to all stores nationwide.
In terms of our product trends, sales of conveniently available frozen vegetables have continued showing a strong positive trend. Also, we enjoyed strong performance in sales of summer season items such as beverages along with a rise in temperature across Japan as well as sales of items for use at summer festivals and other events.
From Friday, September 1 to Tuesday, October 31, we are going to run a marketing campaign titled "Gyomu Super Stores Loaded with Bargains! Storewide Customer Appreciation Sale in Autumn 2023." Through this sale, we continue to spread Gyomu Super's attractiveness to more customers.
