Overview

In domestic retail, all product categories exceeded the previous year's sales. In addition, the number of customers exceeded the previous year's level after taking into
account the unfavorable impact of the holidays. The current consumption trend was strong with both sales and customer counts remaining unchanged. In this April, there were two fewer holidays (Saturday and Sunday) and one more weekday holiday (Showa Day) than in the previous year. The impact on sales was -2.3% and the impact on the number of customers was -2.1%.
The Discount Store business continues to perform well in all categories. This month, sales increased in a wide range of products such as cooking appliances, household appliances, storage products and kitchenware. Demand was boosted by a series of lifestyle changes and relocations in preparation for new lifestyles starting in April. (In Japan, the fiscal/academic year begins in April.) Furthermore, demand for party goods and giveaways is expanding due to an increase in gatherings and events such as graduations and farewell parties. The impact of two more holidays (Saturday and Sunday) was +3.3%.
In the GMS business, sales have recovered in line with an improvement in the number of customers visiting shops. In food products, there has been growth in a wide range of general and fresh food products, such as rice, daily necessities, seasonings, meat and vegetables. In the housing sector, sales grew in daily consumables and sundries, such as paper products, detergents and kitchenware. The impact of two more holidays (Saturday and Sunday) was +3.2%.
