Net income¥2.2bn−38.0%
Q2 alone (Jun–Aug 2026)
Revenue¥28.0bn—
Operating profit¥1.1bn—
Net income¥0.9bn—

Kintetsu Department Store, whose flagship sits in Abeno Harukas, took first-half revenue down 8.3% to ¥57.4bn after closing its Nagoya store and losing last year's Expo-site shop, yet operating profit rose 15.0% to ¥3.01bn. Net income fell 38.0% to ¥2.22bn against a year earlier that carried large special gains; guidance was raised for the second time this year.

Q1 (Mar–May 2026) · Year-to-Date

Reported 2026-07-10
Revenue¥29.4bn−1.2%
Operating profit¥1.9bn+79.4%
Net income¥1.3bn—

Kintetsu Department Store — whose flagship occupies Abeno Harukas, Japan's tallest building — took revenue down 1.2% to ¥29.4bn in March–May 2026 while operating profit rose 79% to ¥1.93bn and ordinary profit 94% to ¥1.91bn. Net income of ¥1.33bn compares with a ¥604mn loss a year earlier, so no growth rate is meaningful. Earning nearly twice as much on slightly less trade is the shape of a cost base finally working; the company raised its full-year guidance on every line, to ¥116.0bn of revenue (still 7.5% below last year) and ¥3.9bn of net income.

  • JapanDepartment-store sales fell 3.7% to ¥22.9bn as last April's Expo-site official shop dropped out, yet segment profit rose 68.9% to ¥1.51bn on events, womenswear and the Abeno Harukas deli remodel.
  • StoresAt Abeno Harukas, the deli floor reopened after renovation in late April and an EXPO 2027 official store opened in May; the adjoining Hoop mall added Capcomics, an amusement site billed as Japan's first.
  • StoresThe Abeno Harukas line including Hoop and other sites fell 6.7%, but a footnote puts the main store itself at ¥9.9bn (+7.8%); the Nagoya (Kintetsu Passé) store closed on 28 February 2026.
  • Not disclosedKintetsu says tax-free sales stayed firm, led by luxury brands, and cites them as a reason for raising guidance, but gives no tax-free amount or growth rate for the quarter.
  • One-offLast year's quarter carried a ¥1.99bn store-closure loss behind its ¥604mn net loss, so much of the net-income swing is a base effect; this quarter's special items were small (¥76mn gains, ¥123mn losses).
  • OutlookGuidance was raised, not cut: full-year revenue to ¥116.0bn from ¥115.0bn, operating profit to ¥5.6bn from ¥5.4bn and net income to ¥3.9bn from ¥3.7bn, citing tax-free sales, the deli remodel and fit-out orders.
