TRIAL Holdings will move Seiyu's supermarket operations into a renamed subsidiary it keeps, while selling the emptied-out original entity, now just a landlord for select stores, to a buyer called Unicorn GK by December 1, 2026.
TRIAL Holdings' full takeover of Seiyu drove group sales past ¥1.3tn in the year to June 2026, but ¥6.7bn of loan fees, ¥4.3bn of interest and ¥15.3bn of goodwill amortisation cut net profit to ¥3.5bn, a 70% drop; management is guiding for net profit to more than triple next year as integration synergies land.
Trial Holdings will, from Aug. 1, move the management business of Trial Golf & Resort out of Trial Real Estate and directly under the parent through a no-consideration internal split. The company says the point is faster decision-making and tighter governance after the Seiyu deal broadened its retail footprint, while the disclosed earnings impact is minor.
