KOMERI CO.,LTD.

As of the end of March 2026, the company operates 1,234 stores nationwide, boasting the largest store count in the industry. It executes a fleet format strategy that combines the three formats—PowerCOMERI, PRO, and H&G—according to trade area characteristics, intensively raising sales share in specific areas. During the fiscal year under review, 22 new stores were opened, expanding total sales floor area to 101.8% of the previous fiscal year-end level.

The sales composition ratio of Private Brand Products reached 48.7% (up 0.4pt year on year), with category brands such as the automotive goods brand "CRUZARD" and outdoor goods brand "Natural Season" being cultivated. Through world-best-source procurement leveraging overseas procurement bases in Taiwan, China, and Southeast Asia as well as 12 domestic distribution centers, the company has built a lineup of Private Brand Products offering low prices and high quality that are difficult for other companies to replicate.

As of the end of March 2026, the company collaborates with eight agricultural cooperatives (JA), including JA Akita Obako and JA Yamagata Okitama, and handles JA products at 47 stores. The industry-leading store count is the reason the company can serve as a receiving base for JA materials stores, realizing a "triple-win" model of improved JA profitability, enhanced convenience for farmers, and increased customer numbers for Komeri. Furthermore, discussions with JA Okinawa, JA Kita Biwako, and JA Hyogo Rokko are also underway, with the farmer customer base continuing to expand.

For FY2027 (ending March 2027), the company plans to open 42 new stores in total, comprising 8 PowerCOMERI, 8 PRO, and 26 H&G stores. The company aims to improve sales share within trading areas through dominant area formation, and also plans approximately 100,000 tsubo of sales floor renovation for existing stores. The long-term target is 3,000 stores domestically and internationally.

The new Kansai Distribution Center, the largest of its kind domestically, began operations in February 2026. Low-cost operation has been achieved through the introduction of labor-saving and workforce-reduction systems. Loading and handling efficiency has improved with the start of palletization of imported Private Brand Products. The company plans to further expand its 12 domestic logistics hubs.

Category brands such as the automotive goods brand "CRUZARD" and outdoor brand "Natural Season" are being cultivated through focused sales efforts utilizing TV commercials and SNS. The Private Brand Products sales composition ratio reached 48.7% (up 0.4pt year on year), and the company continues to promote "product development that protects and nurtures daily life."

As of the end of March 2026, the collaboration had expanded to 8 JA partnerships covering 47 stores. Collaboration with JA Akita Obako, JA Oigawa, JA Yamanashi Mirai, and others has improved convenience for farmers and increased customer counts. Discussions are also underway with JA Okinawa, JA Kita Biwako, and JA Hyogo Rokko, accelerating the horizontal expansion of the "benefit for all three parties" model.

The E-commerce Business continued its high growth, up 112.8% year on year. The BOPIS in-store pickup ratio was maintained at over 80%, and expansion of the service area for the last-mile delivery service "Kokko Bin" is also being promoted. DX investments such as the introduction of self-checkout registers at 167 stores and cleaning robots at 26 stores are promoting labor-saving and workforce reduction in store operations.
