9M FY2026 (Sep 2025–May 2026) · Year-to-Date
Reported 2026-07-14
Revenue¥785.4bn▲ +7.6%
Operating profit¥33.3bn▲ +35.8%
Net income¥19.8bn▲ +31.1%
Bic Camera's first nine months (September 2025–May 2026) set records on every line: revenue up 7.6% to ¥785.4bn, operating profit up 35.8% to ¥33.3bn and net income up 31.1% to ¥19.8bn. Duty-free sales also set a nine-month record, and the company credits a deliberate widening of its visitor base — a rising share from Southeast Asia and North America rather than any single country. It opened Bic Camera Select stores on Sapporo's Tanukikoji and Naha's Kokusai-dori and extended its Namba store's hours by an hour from November 2025. Full-year guidance is unchanged at ¥1,022.0bn revenue (+4.9%).
InboundTax-free sales set a nine-month record; strong growth from Southeast Asia, Europe, North America and Australia covered lower sales to Chinese visitors, under a policy of not leaning on any one region.
StoresVisitor-focused moves: a new 'Bic Camera Select' format opened on Sapporo's Tanukikoji (Jan 30) and Naha's Kokusai-dori (Apr 23, about 350m²), and Namba's hours were extended an hour from Nov 1.
StoresThe Ikebukuro West Exit IT tower store (about 2,755m² over floors 2–4) opened March 14; Air BicCamera added Fukuoka Airport's international terminal and Ginza in December; Urawa follows in autumn 2026.
SegmentBy category, games jumped 44.7% to ¥38.9bn and mobile phones 17.2% to ¥198.7bn; air conditioners (+17.2%) and cameras (+20.1%) were also strong, while TVs fell 4.1%.
SegmentListed subsidiary Kojima grew sales 6.0% to ¥222.8bn and operating profit 34.1% to ¥7.4bn; Bic Camera's standalone sales rose 8.7% to ¥383.7bn.
OutlookFull-year guidance stays at ¥34.4bn operating profit, which the nine months (¥33.3bn) have nearly reached, implying only about ¥1.1bn for June–August (floortok's arithmetic).
