A weaker yen and slow-to-arrive integration synergies force Askul to erase most of the goodwill it booked buying office-supply group AP67 back in 2023.
TSI Holdings' quarterly sales rose 30% and operating profit rose 66% on the back of two acquisitions, but Freak's Store operator Daytona International and umbrella maker Waterfront pulled gross margin down 1.2 points, a trade-off the apparel group is covering with sharper cost cuts rather than pricing power.
Camera sales jumped 20% and duty-free revenue hit a nine-month record as Bic Camera's operating profit rose 35.8% to ¥33.3bn for the nine months to May, even as television sales kept sliding.
Operating income at the Japanese food group rose 24% to ¥20.02bn, but net profit fell to ¥13.21bn because a ¥12.07bn gain from selling assets a year earlier shrank to just ¥22mn this time.
Treasure Factory raised its full-year operating profit target to ¥5.33bn and added ¥2 to its interim dividend after a quarter where sales rose 16.4% and operating profit jumped 24%, though the company says some of that strength borrowed from the quarter ahead.
Kewpie's domestic operating margin jumped to 7.7% on price increases and a cheaper egg benchmark, but overseas operating profit fell 13% on Americas softness and new-factory depreciation, even as full-year guidance stayed unchanged.
Seven & i lifted its full-year operating profit forecast to ¥425.0bn after gasoline revenue at 7-Eleven, Inc. beat plan and it revised its dollar-yen assumption to ¥157 from ¥150, even as domestic convenience-store profit dipped on store-investment costs.

Life Corporation grew quarterly revenue 3.2% but operating profit fell 6.9% after personnel costs rose 5.1% on a third straight year of 5%-plus wage hikes and expanded staff holidays, and the company is sticking with its full-year profit target regardless.
South Korea sales jumped 13.1% as shoppers there recovered from last year's political turmoil, helping push ABC-Mart's operating profit up 8.3% to ¥20.3bn while the full-year forecast stayed unchanged.

The number: a ¥22.2bn net loss after last October’s ransomware attack knocked out ordering systems, dragged sales to ¥400.2bn and cut the annual dividend to ¥10. Management is guiding for sales to recover to ¥490bn and profit to return, but says margins will still be rebuilding.
