Recent Overview
Revenue and profit both increased on strong tire and maintenance performance, with a net increase of 39 domestic stores
In the Autobacs business for FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue was ¥206,363 million (up 4.7% year on year), and segment profit was ¥22,402 million (up 1.6% year on year). Tires performed well, driven by successful expansion of exclusive tire sales, strengthened high-value-added tire lineup, and TV commercial/web advertising measures. Maintenance-related products such as oil and batteries also remained solid amid a rising average vehicle age. Domestically, 41 new stores opened and 2 closed, bringing the period-end total to 1,059 stores. Overseas, the company withdrew from operating licensed stores in Malaysia, bringing the overseas total to 149 stores.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Growth in sales of maintenance-related products such as oil and batteries, driven by increasing demand for vehicle maintenance amid a rising average vehicle age
- Strong tire sales driven by expanded sales of exclusive tires, broadened high-value-added tire lineup, and enhanced TV commercial and web advertising
- Increased number of vehicle inspections through strengthened promotions leveraging the April 2025 regulatory revision expanding the inspection window
- Improved repeat customer rate through enhanced app/web pit service reservation functions and expanded bulk oil product lineup
- Strong used vehicle retail performance backed by more active trading of group-shared inventory vehicles through collaboration with other companies
- Growth in pit services in Singapore driven by increased maintenance demand for existing vehicles amid soaring COE prices
- Continued domestic store openings (41 new stores opened in FY2026, ending March 2026, reaching 1,059 stores at period-end)
Risks
- Concern over the impact of continued price increases on personal consumption
- Sluggish performance in car electronics and accessories due to declining new vehicle sales and enhanced factory-installed equipment on new vehicles
- Risk of sales fluctuation for winter products (e.g., studless tires) due to dependence on weather conditions
- Difficulty in procurement due to soaring used car auction prices, affecting the vehicle sales business
- Revenue decline due to economic sluggishness in overseas operations (France)
- Impact on merchandise procurement costs from heightened geopolitical risk and exchange rate fluctuations
- Intensifying competition for customer acquisition due to accelerated M&A and expansion into adjacent business areas by companies from other industries
