Record High in Sales and Operating Income. From Business Expansion to Enhancing the Value of Reuse Itself for Social Contribution

As the transition to a circular economy, which aims to maximize the value of resources and products, progresses, Bookoff's core reuse business circulates used items to suppress CO2 emissions associated with resource consumption and disposal while supporting and providing enjoyment for people's lives. To establish a circular economy as a familiar action for consumers, Bookoff Group has been working under the vision of 'Becoming a Leading Company in the Reuse Industry' to promote business growth through the development of services that improve consumer convenience and experience value, and activities to make the reuse industry and reuse actions themselves more positive.

The fiscal year ending May 2026 was the first year of the mid-term management policy from the fiscal year ending May 2024 to the fiscal year ending May 2028. As a result of promoting new store openings, renovations of existing stores, and service enhancements in each business, consolidated sales reached 1,301 billion yen (109.2% compared to the previous term), and operating income reached 47 billion yen (120.9% compared to the previous term), achieving record highs. We will continue to aim for continuous profit growth through diverse challenges in reuse and initiatives aimed at enhancing the social value of reuse through business, promoting the entire industry and contributing to the realization of a circular economy.

【Domestic Bookoff Business】Improving Convenience and Experience Value with Large-Scale Store Openings and Replacements

In the fiscal year ending May 2026, the domestic Bookoff business actively promoted the opening of 11 new large-scale comprehensive reuse shops centered around 'BOOKOFF SUPER BAZAAR (Bookoff Super Bazaar)' and the replacement of existing stores with expanded trading and hobby sections. Out of approximately 700 stores nationwide, more than 80% of the stores handle a wide range of categories, including trading cards, hobbies, apparel, precious metals, watches, brand bags, sports goods, and outdoor goods, tailored to the region and customer base, in addition to books and software media.

The wide range of merchandise handled responds to consumers' needs to sell unwanted items from their homes in one go, while also utilizing the advantages of physical stores by setting up competition spaces for trading cards and hosting tournaments, and allowing customers to pick up items ordered from the official online store at the store. As a result, the combined annual number of users of stores and online stores is 85.6 million, with many customers using the service. In addition to stores, we will continue to improve the purchase experience value by utilizing the official app, which surpassed 10 million members in January 2026, and home delivery purchase services, aiming to make reuse a natural part of consumers' lives.

Contributing to Society Through Solving the Issues of Bookstore-Less Municipalities Using the Core Book Reuse Business

While the paper publishing market in primary distribution is declining (*), the sales of books at Bookoff are maintaining a solid demand with a year-on-year increase of 103.7%, and the handling of books read by many people regardless of region, age, or gender is also linked to the motivation for store visits.

Bookoff utilizes its core book reuse business to address the nationwide issue of bookstore-less municipalities by opening community spaces 'Furusato Bookoff' and selling used books on consignment, creating reading opportunities for children and contributing to solving regional issues. In April 2026, the third store opened in Fukaura Town, Aomori Prefecture, attracting about 150 visitors at the opening and contributing to regional revitalization. We will continue to promote the opening of Furusato Bookoff and collaboration with municipalities, contributing to regional societies through reuse businesses.

【Premium Service Business】From an Easy-to-Consult Environment to the Entrance of the Reuse Experience

The 'Premium Service Business,' which aims to make reuse more familiar to consumers who are not familiar with BOOKOFF, has promoted the opening of 'hugall (Hugall),' a purchase-specialized store centered around department stores, and 'aidect (Aidect),' which also repairs and reforms jewelry in addition to reuse. Additionally, the comprehensive purchase counter 'Rehello by BOOKOFF (Rehello)' has been rebranded across all stores in the 23 wards of Tokyo. For high-priced items, consumers may hesitate to sell due to the high threshold of the store and the lack of transparency in appraisals. However, we provide a store with an open and luxurious atmosphere and attentive customer service that presents options other than purchases, allowing even those who are not used to selling items to consult easily and reuse with peace of mind.

At 'Rehello by BOOKOFF,' in addition to brand bags and precious metals, almost all items handled by BOOKOFF, including books, can be sold. Additionally, items ordered from the 'Rehello by BOOKOFF' EC site or the official Bookoff online store can be picked up at the store. Aiming for a future with 100 stores, we will continue to improve services at existing stores and open new stores for each brand, and through the implementation of event purchases, we aim to make 'selling' a part of daily life for those who are not familiar with reuse.

【Overseas Business】Expanding Business with Entertainment and Used in Japan, Tailored to Each Country

In the overseas business, we operate 'BOOKOFF' centered in the United States, similar to domestic stores, purchasing and selling from local customers, and 'Jalan Jalan Japan (Jalan Jalan Japan)' centered in Malaysia, selling products that did not have sales opportunities in Japan. 'BOOKOFF' has expanded sales due to an increase in new store openings and growth in books, software media, and anime goods. 'Jalan Jalan Japan' has recovered sales and customer numbers by focusing on renovating existing stores. By selecting and exporting products inspected at domestic circular bases and performing careful cleaning, they are highly sought after locally for their good condition as 'Used in Japan.'

In the fiscal year ending May 2026, the establishment of Bookoff International Co., Ltd. and the establishment of a local subsidiary for the development of the reuse business in Taiwan.
