2. Operating margin
Seven & IandIonSince it includes a variety of businesses beyond supermarkets, it does not necessarily accurately reflect the actual situation of the retail business.The decrease in operating margin directly results in deteriorating performance.Seven & i saw a significant decrease of 1.25 points in operating margin, while Aeon's operating margin fell below 2%. Seven & i also experienced a significant decrease in the selling and administrative expenses ratio due to the completion of the department store sale, but with operating income falling below the same period last year, gross profit margin also declined.

Seven & i also experienced a significant decrease in the selling and administrative expenses ratio due to the completion of the department store sale, but with operating income falling below the same period last year, gross profit margin also declined.
The company with the highest gross profit margin is Don Quijote, which operates the 'Don Quijote' discount stores.Pan Pac HoldingsFollowing Pan Pacific Holdings, the company with the second highest operating margin among the top five companies excluding the leading two companies is Yaoko, which does not primarily focus on discount formats.
The decline in operating margin can be attributed to the deterioration in performance.YaokoThe difference between gross profit margin and selling and administrative expense ratio is small, but it includes "operating income" of 24.2 billion yen.Realizing an operating profit margin close to 6%.It is rising.Lowering the gross profit margin by 0.3 points to the high 23% range similar to discount chains, enhancing price competitiveness.The company has also achieved a decrease in the selling and administrative expense ratio.Since acquiring the discount supermarket in 2017, the company has been expanding discount format stores, and the effects of low-cost operations are beginning to show.The company's operating profit is 24200000000 yen,The company has been expanding discount format stores since acquiring the discount supermarket in 2017, and the effects of low-cost operations are starting to show.It seems so.

販管費比率の低さでは、Genkyが際立っている。24年6月期は前年度より1ポイント下げ、15％台半ばまで低下した。店舗展開エリアが狭いことも、販管費の抑制につながっているとみられる。同社は「2040年に0.01 million店舗」を目標に、完全標準化と単純化の徹底で年間1000店の高速出店を行う体制づくりを進めている。今後、How to balance multi-store expansion and cost controlseems to be a key point for growth.
Trial HDofAlthough the gross profit margin has increased by 0.65 points, it has not reached 20%. As a result,the operating margin is also low, in the 2% rangeBut, at this momentConsidering it as a "critical moment", the attitude of emphasizing the strength of price competitiveness is evident.can be read.
Daikokuten Bussan has the best balance between gross profit margin and sales and administrative expenses ratio.大黒天物産On one hand, reducing the sales and administrative expenses ratio slightly, while increasing the gross profit margin by 0.65 points,bringing the operating profit margin to the mid-3% range.If the company can continue to maintain the sales and administrative expenses ratio below 20% with its expertise in low-cost operations,it can respond flexibly to price competition with neighboring competing stores.I guess.

3. Existing store revenue
Seven & IThe existing store sales of domestic convenience stores, which is the main business of Seven & I, falling below the previous year's level, symbolizes the company's confusion. In particular, the decrease in the number of customers is also a concern for the company.In the material explaining the interim financial results for the February 2025 period, "Improving visit frequency" and "Acquiring new customers" are important issues.に挙げている。
What stands out in the recent existing store sales is the "two pillars"Pan Pac HoldingsandYaokoHowever, there is a significant difference in the factors.Pan Pac HoldingsisSignificantly contributing to the improvement in customer unit pricewhileYaokoIs.Is driving the increase in number of customersYaokoBy increasing fans, Yaoko is expanding its future growth foundationIt can be said thatPan Pac HoldingsFrom June 22nd, for 28 months,YaokoFrom October 2022 to 24 months, respectivelyExisting store revenue has continued to exceed the previous year's same month, demonstrating a strength that can be called the "new champion"。
In terms of the duration of continued growth in existing store revenueTrial HDIs overwhelming other companies.Until September 2024, existing store revenue has exceeded the previous year's same month for 40 consecutive months。GenkyAlso,23年3月から1年以上既存店がプラスで推移している。直近の客数の伸びではパン・パシHDを上回っており、高速多店舗展開に向けた潜在能力の高さを示している。
大黒天物産Does not disclose the revenue of existing stores.

大黒天物産Does not disclose the revenue of existing stores.
It is expected that the consumer trend towards saving on commodity goods such as food, accelerated by high prices, will continue to rise in the future due to population decline and excessive store presence of supermarkets. In this respect,The strength of the discount store format is expected to become even more prominent in the future.It seems to be the case.
$Seven & i Holdings (3382.JP)$and $AEON (8267.JP)$The deceleration of the top two can also be seen as the beginning. At present, "Don Quixote" $Pan Pacific International Holdings (7532.JP)$leads in scale, but its cost management capabilities now rival those of discount store formats. $Yaoko (8279.JP)$Having strengths in "retail tech", which will be the key to future low-cost operations. $Trial Holdings (141A.JP)$It is also in a good position.
However, $Daikokutenbussan (2791.JP)$and, $Genky Drug Stores (9267.JP)$The "latecomers" are also expanding their performance with great momentum, leaving room for a significant change in the power balance. It seems that not only organic growth from their own company, but also leveraging M&A which Aeon excels in,Whether the scale expansion leveraging M&A can be realizedwill also be a crucial factor in determining the "new champion".
