BuySell Technologies' First Quarterly Financial Results of FY2026

In a recent financial disclosure, BuySell Technologies, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, presented remarkable growth figures for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2026. The company reported a significant revenue increase of 37% year-on-year and a phenomenal operating profit surge of 111%. These results prompt an upward revision in both overall revenue and dividend forecasts for the current financial year.

Summary of Key Achievements

During the first quarter, characteristic strategies like enhancing repeat visits and improving appraisal values played crucial roles in maintaining robust performance for both its field and store purchasing segments. In addition, strategic sales from previously accumulated inventory at the end of the last period contributed to substantial revenue and profit boosts.

Revised Financial Forecasts

Following this successful first quarter, BuySell has adjusted its consolidated revenue forecast for the end of FY2026 to ¥140 billion, with operating profit revised to ¥15.6 billion. Furthermore, the anticipated per-share dividend is raised from ¥17.5 to ¥22.0, reflecting confidence in sustained performance. While the financial guidance for the fiscal year 2027 remains unchanged for now, it will be reassessed in line with future performance.

Detailed First Quarter Results

The first quarter's consolidated income statement reflects a thriving business environment, illustrated by improved gross profit margins—up by 3.0 points year-on-year—thanks to successful sales mix strategies and beneficial inventory turnover.

Investment in branding continues to be a priority for the company, although efficiency improvements from staff integrations and operational consolidations have led to a decrease in operational costs. Consequently, operating profit margins have seen a positive upswing.

Segment Performance Breakdown

With new reporting practices now reflecting segment-specific performance rather than corporate-wide results, BuySell provides clearer visibility into its operational realities, particularly in its key purchasing channels.

• - Field Purchasing Segment: Achieved sales of ¥16.3 billion and operating profit of ¥3.7 billion, driven by increased visit numbers and improved repeat rates.
• - Store Purchasing Segment: Reported sales of ¥14.1 billion with operating profit at ¥2.9 billion, predominantly fueled by an increase in store numbers and appraised values.

Both segments benefited from an increase in revenue derived from higher-margin inventory sales, underscoring effective cost management and enhanced operational productivity.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

The company also reported promising KPIs, especially in the field purchasing segment where repeated visits and increased acquisition of antique items have elevated profitability significantly. Despite a rise in advertising costs linked to branding efforts, the most important yield metric—the variable profit per visit—has exhibited favorable growth,
leading to an upward revision of year-end KPI pricing projections.

The company has expanded its store network in the store purchasing segment, growing from 490 to 518 outlets compared to the previous fiscal year's end, setting a firm foundation for future growth.

Strategic Plans and Future Opportunities

Looking ahead, BuySell Technologies has initiated various strategies to strengthen its foreign market outreach, particularly in China and the U.S. A key strategic partnership was formalized with JUXI, aiming to enhance overseas sales channels through platforms like TikTok Live Commerce. This initiative is predicted to yield substantially higher profits compared to domestic environments.
