First-quarter growth sets the frame
The latest earnings report covered the first quarter of fiscal 2027, which ran from May 21 to August 20, 2026. According to Japan IR, revenue reached JPY 159.04 billion, up 13.80 percent from the prior-year quarter, while operating profit rose 16.00 percent to JPY 8.42 billion.
Net income attributable to the parent increased 36.40 percent to JPY 6.87 billion, and earnings per share reached JPY 72.30. The company kept its full-year forecast unchanged, making execution against the existing plan the central operating question.
What does buyback progress mean?
The October 5 share repurchase update followed the quarterly report and monthly sales disclosure. The monthly release showed an all-store sales index of 107.3 and a customer-count index of 106.4 for fiscal 2027 through September, according to Japan IR.
That sequence gives the repurchase update an operating backdrop: revenue growth was accompanied by double-digit operating-profit growth, while the store network continued to expand. The first quarter included 1,154 drugstores, another concrete measure of the company strategy.

The same analysis put projected fiscal 2027 revenue at JPY 639.90 billion, versus JPY 634.00 billion in the earlier estimate, and projected earnings per share at JPY 217, versus JPY 200.
