Monthly Sales Report

• *Don Quijote Co., Ltd., UNY Co., Ltd., Nagasakiya Co., Ltd., and UD Retail Co., Ltd.

Overview

1. The 4 domestic retail companies landed at 101.2% YoY. This month, all corporations exceeded the results of the previous year. In particular, we have implemented solid sales promotion strategies such as flyers, coupons, and majica redemption measures to coincide with the busiest time of the year, from Christmas through the year-end and New Year holidays, increasing the number of customers and sales. Sales have been growing regardless of business format, location, area, or time of day.

2. The discount store business captures event demand and boosts sales, especially during Christmas, year-end, and weekends. In particular, sales increased in urban areas such as Kanto and Kansai regions and station front stores. In addition, sales of bags and personal care products for traveling and visiting home for holidays increased due to the pandemic situation that has calmed down. Consumables, cosmetics, and food products, which have been strong in the past, also supported the momentum during the month.

3. In the GMS business, despite the impact of the high hurdle in the previous year, sales of many products, including heavy clothing such as coats, cold-weather products, 　and children's clothing increased as the weather turns colder. It contributed to sales growth at existing stores. In food products, although sales of some main categories such as rice, bread, and daily necessities declined, sales of prepared foods, fresh fish (sushi), and alcoholic beverages started to pick up after the 24th, and at the end exceeded the previous year's level.
