2025年2月期通期の連結業績予想については、売上高は前期比4.4%増の300.00億円、営業利益は同13.0%増の9.90億円、経常利益は同13.2%増の10.30億円、親会社株主に帰属する当期純利益は同7.8%増の6.50億円とする期初計画を据え置いている。Jason (TSE: 3080) announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending in February 2025 (March to August 24). Revenue decreased by 1.2% year-on-year to 15.033 billion yen, operating profit decreased by 19.5% to 0.542 billion yen, ordinary profit decreased by 18.9% to 0.559 billion yen, and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders decreased by 21.3% to 0.34 billion yen.
The company group has been promoting thorough cost-effective store operations, strengthening the handling of JV (Jason Value) products and original products, and expanding the network of stores primarily focused on existing store locations to become a chain store operator that supports people's lives in the region under its corporate philosophy of 'becoming infrastructure (social foundation) that supports people's lives.'
During this interim consolidated accounting period, the performance of its main product, PET bottled beverages, continued to show robust sales. However, due to some disruptions in its own logistics and resulting shortages in the first quarter, there was a decrease compared to the same period last year. Furthermore, amidst continued high procurement costs throughout the first half, the company operated in a direction that somewhat restrained the transfer of price increases to sales prices to maintain its low-price strategy. Investment in new warehouse costs and vehicle-related costs for the optimization of its own logistics also took precedence, resulting in a decrease in profit compared to the same period last year. Regarding store openings, the 'Higashimurayama Aobacho Store' in Higashimurayama City, Tokyo opened in May, and the 'Hitachiota Miyamotocho Store' in Hitachiota City, Ibaraki Prefecture opened in July, bringing the total number of directly managed stores to 114. Additionally, the company's original product, 'Shojinzawa Natural Water,' has continued to see a significant increase in sales compared to the previous year. The successful sales of the newly introduced 'Bubbling Strong Carbonated Water (carbonated water made from natural water)' in May this year has steadily strengthened its private brand (PB) products. Subsidiary Shojinzawa Beverage has further enhanced its production system, achieving about twice the production volume compared to the same period last year, and has begun expanding its factory warehouse while significantly contributing to consolidated performance by maintaining cost of goods manufactured reduction.
The consolidated performance forecast for the 2025 fiscal year is expected to maintain the initial plan, with revenue increasing by 4.4% from the previous year to ¥30 billion, operating profit increasing by 13.0% to ¥0.99 billion, ordinary profit increasing by 13.2% to ¥1.03 billion, and net profit attributable to the parent company's shareholders increasing by 7.8% to ¥0.65 billion.
