Business Model

Within the group, CBK Co., Ltd. handles facility management and advertising in-house, while Ginza Inz Co., Ltd. and others contribute stable real estate leasing income, forming a multi-layered structure.

Duty-free sales at the Ginza store in July 2024 renewed their all-time high. The number of foreign visitors to Japan in FY2024 hit a record high, with purchases from a wide range of countries driving sales across the entire store. In November 2024, the company launched "matsuyaginza.com (Omnichannel Platform)," the first department store platform in Japan to feature a duty-free purchasing function, aiming to improve customer convenience.

ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Revenue over the past five fiscal years contracted sharply from ¥65,039 million in FY2022 (before the accounting standard change) to ¥34,400 million in FY2023 following the application of the new revenue recognition standard, then recovered to ¥48,120 million in FY2025 before declining again to ¥45,706 million in FY2026. Operating profit also peaked at ¥4,485 million in FY2025 before retreating to ¥2,636 million in FY2026. In Q1 of FY2027 (ending March 2027), revenue was ¥12,095 million (+5.9% year-on-year) and operating profit was ¥661 million (+35.9% year-on-year), indicating a recovery trend. Externally, the continued yen depreciation and robust inbound demand purchasing trends supported the Department Store Business. Full-year guidance maintains a conservative level of ¥1,800 million in operating profit (-31.7% year-on-year), and the divergence from the strong Q1 progress rate is a point of attention.
Growth Strategy
Under the "Global Destination" concept, the company aims to achieve operating income of ¥8,000–8,500 million in FY2030 through concentrated investment in Ginza, regional co-creation, and strengthened global presence.
Deepening the concentration of luxury brands, including the expansion of the Louis Vuitton Matsuya Ginza Store to one of the largest scales in Japan. Through year-round programs and events (such as "GINZA Shoku no Ennichi"), the company is establishing an overwhelming presence in Ginza and driving the transformation into a premium retailer that attracts affluent customers from both Japan and overseas.
Expanding ID customers through organizational strengthening and staff increases in the Personal Outside Sales Business, together with an omnichannel strategy leveraging matsuyaginza.com (Omnichannel Platform). Also strengthening the capture of inbound demand from a wide range of countries, including partnerships with financial institutions aimed at attracting affluent customers from Southeast Asia. Contributed to an 82.9% increase in operating income in the Department Store Business in Q1 of FY2027 (ending February 2027).
Promoting the rebranding of regional production areas, industries, and products nationwide through regional co-creation initiatives spanning 20 prefectures and 46 projects. In Q1 of FY2027 (ending February 2027), the company carried out an initiative at "Tokyo Creative Salon 2026" highlighting denim from Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and embroidery from Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture, disseminating these from Ginza to Japan and overseas.
The Food & Beverage Business (Atable Matsuya Co., Ltd.) recorded an operating loss of ¥11 million in Q1 of FY2027 (ending February 2027), affected by the contraction of the wedding and banquet business. The Building Comprehensive Services & Advertising Business (CBK Co., Ltd.) also saw a sharp decline in operating income to ¥6 million (down 88.6% year on year) due to lower orders in the Creative Division (Advertising & Promotion) and Construction & Interior Division (Building Interior Work & Decoration). Turning around non-department store businesses to stabilize overall group profitability remains a key challenge.
