Business
Olympic Group Co., Ltd. is a holding-company-type diversified retail group with its main trading area covering Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, and Chiba Prefecture. Led by its core subsidiary Olympic Corp., the group comprises more than 30 subsidiaries and affiliated companies, including Supermarkets (OSC Amaike Co., Ltd., Miuraya Co., Ltd.), Discount Store operations, Bicycle Business (Cycle Olympic Co., Ltd.), pet-related business (Your Petia Co., Ltd.), DIY & gardening (Ouchi DEPO Co., Ltd.), and Home Equipment (OSC Home Facility Co., Ltd.). The food segment accounts for 65.8% of net sales, serving as essential daily-life infrastructure. Its main customers are general consumers in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area as well as tradespeople and professional users.
Business Model
In addition to sales revenue (merchandise sales), the company generates revenue from operating income (¥7,348 million in FY2026) such as tenant income associated with shopping center management and operation. Its basic approach is an EDLP (Every Day Low Price) policy that does not rely on flyers, capturing diverse customer needs through three core formats: food, discount, and specialty stores. By internalizing manufacturing subsidiaries (prepared foods, bread, meat, and seafood), the company reduces costs, while the holding company centrally manages the cash flow of each group company, adopting an efficient group management structure.
Company Strengths
The company concentrates management resources in the Tokyo metropolitan area (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba) to expand market share in this region of high purchasing power. It has achieved continuous expansion of trading areas through M&A, including making Miuraya Co., Ltd. (7 supermarket stores) a wholly owned subsidiary in March 2024 and acquiring Amaike Co., Ltd. (11 stores) in November 2023.
The company owns manufacturing subsidiaries for prepared foods (OSC Foods Co., Ltd. and Guu Co., Ltd.), bread (OSC Bakery Co., Ltd.), meat (OSC Meat Co., Ltd.), and seafood (OSC Fish Co., Ltd.), clearly separating manufacturing and sales functions. By centralizing manufacturing operations, the company is improving productivity and reducing manufacturing costs, differentiating itself from competitors through proprietary products.
The company transitioned to a holding company structure in September 2006, overseeing multiple business formats including food, discount, and specialty stores (pet, bicycle, DIY, home equipment, etc.). The parent company centrally manages the fund flow plans of each subsidiary and implements shared administrative services and efficiency improvements across the group. On a standalone basis, the filing company recorded operating profit of ¥1,188 million and net income of ¥1,080 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026).
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Revenue peaked at ¥92,656 million in FY2022, contracted to ¥84,562 million by FY2024, then recovered to ¥91,557 million in FY2025 aided by the Miuraya integration effect, before slipping again to ¥90,809 million in FY2026. Operating profit has deteriorated for five consecutive periods from ¥1,928 million in FY2022, with the loss expanding sharply to ¥(2,372) million in FY2026. Net loss attributable to owners of parent also reached a record ¥(3,798) million. While the 3.3% year-on-year increase in food segment sales and the rise in operating revenue (¥7,348 million) are positive factors, weakness in the non-food segment, structural reform costs, and the fixed cost burden are placing significant pressure on earnings. Externally, sluggish personal consumption and intensifying competition from industry peers are also acting as headwinds.
Growth Strategy
Rebuilding the earnings base through deeper dominance in the Tokyo metropolitan area, synergies among the three food companies, and collaboration with the PPIH Group
Promoting synergy creation among the three food companies—Olympic, Miuraya, and OSC—through system integration, unified procurement, and shared manufacturing functions. The food segment achieved a 3.3% year-on-year increase in revenue in FY2026 (ending March 2026), and the company intends to continue strengthening food as a core pillar of profitability.
Promoting procurement cost reductions, logistics efficiency improvements, and system standardization by leveraging the group resources of parent company PPIH. The company aims to achieve large-scale synergies that would be difficult for competitors to replicate in the short term, but as of FY2026 (ending March 2026), losses have continued to expand, and the effects have yet to fully materialize.
With the non-food segment continuing to struggle, the company positions the Home Equipment Business as a growth area and seeks to expand its business scale. It aims to expand customer touchpoints through synergies with the retail business, but the contribution to overall earnings improvement remains limited at this time.
Through thorough working capital management centered on reducing inventory, operating cash flow in FY2026 (ending March 2026) improved significantly to ¥3,449 million from ¥649 million in the previous period. Even amid continued losses, maintaining and improving cash generation capability remains a priority.
