Results, forecasts and guidance revisions from Japan's listed companies, in English.
Pan Pacific International Holdings grew net profit 21.6% to ¥110.1bn on record duty-free sales for the year to June 2026, but its own guidance for the year ahead, which already includes the newly absorbed Olympic Group chain, points to profit growth of just 0.4% and a slight decline in ordinary profit.
Tax-free sales at Takashimaya jumped 26.2% in July on pricier tourist purchases, but the retailer's own August tally already shows visitor transaction counts falling even as average spending keeps rising.
Record first-half sales and a 48.5% jump in operating profit gave ASICS the confidence to raise full-year revenue guidance to ¥1.05tn and lift its annual dividend to ¥44, while confirming Onitsuka Tiger will be spun off into a standalone company from January 2027.
Asahi Group Holdings reported a 69% rise in first-half net profit and a 56% jump in operating profit, but core business profit fell 8.5% once currency effects are stripped out, and its Japan and East Asia unit is still absorbing the fallout from a September 2025 cyberattack.
Itochu Corporation now holds a 5% stake in the used-goods retailer under a February alliance, and Bookoff's profit for the year to May 2026 came in 25.6% above the guidance it issued last July.
Oisix's B2B foodservice unit, built on the SHiDAX consolidation completed in September 2025, pushed first-quarter operating profit up 24% even as revenue fell 8.6% on a divested vehicle business. A separate, reorganization-driven tax cut, not the profit gain, funded the dividend increase management confirmed alongside results.
Rokko Butter cut its full-year operating-profit forecast by ¥800mn, 34.8% below February's guidance, after ingredient-cost inflation in its cheese and nut lines, a weaker yen and earthquake damage at a subsidiary factory outran the price increases it has planned from September.
Japan's family-restaurant operator now expects ¥20.5bn in annual profit, up ¥1.0bn from its February guidance, after existing-store sales grew 6.5% in the first half on higher customer counts and bigger average checks, even as its inflation-cost estimate rose to ¥14.5bn from ¥13.0bn.
TRIAL Holdings folded Seiyu into its accounts on July 1, 2025, pushing total assets to ¥807.8bn from ¥300.3bn, while the equity ratio more than halved to 16.2% and attributable profit dropped from ¥11.8bn to ¥3.5bn as the retailer absorbed acquisition borrowing costs.
Record first-quarter profit at Japan's top department-store group is funding a two-for-one share split, a doubled buyback share ceiling and a real, if disguised, ¥10 rise in this year's dividend guide.
Six-month profit at McDonald's Holdings Company (Japan) rose to ¥19.7bn as same-store sales grew for a 43rd straight quarter despite a February price revision, and management has revised its full-year forecast as a result.
A gain from losing control of its real-estate subsidiary lifted Sapporo Breweries' first-half net profit by ¥293.7bn to ¥295.4bn, even as the newly renamed brewer's operating business posted a ¥5.9bn loss on restructuring and impairment charges.
A one-off ¥315bn gain from ceding control of its real estate arm pushed Sapporo Breweries' half-year net profit up ¥293.7bn to ¥295.4bn, even as its continuing operations swung into a ¥5.9bn operating loss.
McDonald's Japan raised its full-year profit forecast after half-year operating profit jumped 15.2% and same-store sales notched a 43rd straight quarterly gain, even though the revised sales outlook still trails 2025's total of ¥416.6bn.
Suntory Beverage & Food's operating profit rose 3% for the six months to June, but strip out currency translation and it fell 5.4%, with Europe's margins the weak spot and Oceania the standout region.
Inbound tourists and rising secondhand watch prices drove a 95% sales jump at Geo Holdings' luxury resale unit OKURA in the June quarter, helping push group operating profit up a third even as new-product sales cooled.
A looming 2027 energy-efficiency deadline pushed Japanese households to replace air conditioners early, lifting Yamada Holdings' operating profit 16.8% in the June quarter even as its homebuilding arm's profit fell 88% on higher material costs and marketing spend.
House Foods grew quarterly operating profit 17% yet still cut its full-year forecast by ¥1.0bn, blaming Middle East-linked cost increases of up to ¥3.0bn on its spice business, and it is closing a New Jersey plant-based meat factory that never found enough buyers.
A ¥45.5bn gain from selling its stake in DuPont Teijin Advanced Papers handed Teijin ¥45.1bn in net profit for the quarter to June, already matching the ¥45.0bn it guided for the full year to March 2027.
NH Foods' fresh-meat unit raised import prices fast enough to drive a 19.5% jump in quarterly business profit, but its processed-foods segment lost 13.9% of its profit to a Middle East-linked raw-material cost spike, even as net profit slipped 5.6%.
Kagome trimmed full-year profit guidance by ¥4bn to ¥19.0bn after a ¥2.8bn Middle East cost hit, while its two mass-market vegetable drinks are still stuck below prior-year sales five months after a price increase that its premium Tomato Juice brand shrugged off.
Calbee's operating profit rose 24.4% in the quarter to June as price rises and expansion in Greater China and Indonesia outweighed a domestic potato shortfall hitting a mainstay snack, yet the company left its full-year forecast untouched.
Cacao and fat costs, plus depreciation on new gummy and bottled-water equipment, cut Fujiya's first-half operating profit by three-quarters and left profit attributable to the company's shareholders at a ¥74mn loss even as sales grew 4.8% to ¥59.41bn.
B-R 31 Ice Cream, which runs Baskin-Robbins in Japan, booked record first-half sales of ¥18.55bn on a 21st straight quarter of same-store growth, yet operating profit fell to ¥1.42bn from ¥1.70bn as raw-material costs, the weak yen, and heavier marketing and shipping bills ate into margins.
