BuySell Technologies Reports Significant Revenue Growth for Q3 2025 Period

BuySell Technologies Reports Significant Growth in Q3 2025 Finances

BuySell Technologies, headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is redefining the reuse market with impressive financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The company's consolidated net sales climbed by 66%, alongside a remarkable 102% increase in operating profit, attributed to effective repeat purchase initiatives and increased price per transaction in both its visiting and store purchasing operations. Despite shifting some inventory sales strategically into Q4, the company's overall performance surpassed internal expectations, showcasing a robust business model.

Financial Performance Overview

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, BuySell Technologies reported impressive cumulative results that underscore its growth trajectory. The Group's visiting purchase business, alongside store purchases, leveraged strategic initiatives to bolster repeat customer visits and enhance price points, resulting in a year-on-year (YoY) gross profit surge of 66.8%. The costs associated with sales and general administrative functions saw improved ratios due to heightened productivity, pushing the operating profit margin to 10.2%. The total consolidated operating profit for the quarter reached approximately 7.51 billion yen, essentially doubling year-on-year.

Further consolidating positive performance, the company noted continuous progress in the PMI of REXT HD, reflecting a notably increased return visit rate that surpassed the mid-term targets by over 10%. Additionally, gains in the gross profit per visitation ratio point to sustained financial health and operational efficiency.

Adjustments to Full-Year Forecast

In light of the positive Q3 results and anticipated success for Q4, BuySell Technologies has made its third upward revision to its full-year earnings forecast. The consolidated operating profit estimate now stands revised from 8.5 billion yen announced in August to 9 billion yen, while the consolidated net profit estimate has increased from 4.9 billion yen to 5.2 billion yen. This marks a proactive adjustment reflecting the company's confidence in its operational strategy and product offering.

As part of forward-looking strategies, the company has also announced a comprehensive group reorganization scheduled for January 2026, aimed at optimizing management resources across the group for increased operational efficiency.

Performance by Group Companies

Throughout Q3, revenue trends among the group companies remained stable. Specifically, the subsidiary Timeless capitalized on strong inventory from previous quarters, significantly boosting its revenue in Q3. Conversely, recent addition REXT HD is strategically managing sales volumes and controlling revenue by deferring some inventory sales to Q4, ensuring a balanced profit trajectory for the overall group.

Key Performance Indicators for Visiting Purchases

Even in challenging climatic conditions that led to reduced inquiries from customers, Q3 saw an uptick in visitation numbers, augmented by improved appointment rates and stronger repeat customer acquisition strategies. Notably, the gross return visit rate for high-value items surged due to strengthened synergies with REXT, leading to a substantial contribution to profit margins per visit. Additionally, investments in branding absorbed increases in advertising costs, ultimately enhancing profitability from each visitation.

Future Directions: Group Restructuring

In alignment with its mission to further operational effectiveness and create synergistic opportunities across its divisions, BuySell Technologies is poised for a major group restructuring initiative designed to consolidate overlapping functions and streamline operational models. This overhaul is expected to leverage the company’s strengths across various markets effectively.
