Ending a duplicate-warehouse cost overlap helped Beauty Garage nearly double quarterly operating profit to ¥475.8mn, but its online store still can't take credit cards at checkout seven months after a suspected data leak, with a fresh outside investigation launched in August yet to find a cause.
Beauty Garage lifted revenue 13.3% to ¥38.2 billion in the year to April 2026, but operating profit fell 4.8% to ¥1.52 billion and operating cash flow dropped to ¥553 million from ¥1.42 billion. Management tied much of the squeeze to opening and stabilising the new Kashiwa fulfillment center while old and new logistics sites ran in parallel, and the presentation put the negative profit impact at roughly ¥580 million. The board still kept the year-end dividend at ¥8 a share, taking the full-year payout to ¥16. The company's rebound case depends on that warehouse behaving less like a construction site and more like an asset.
