AEON Co., Ltd. is a leading company in the retail industry, primarily operating shopping malls across various countries, with a significant presence in Japan and Asia. Known for its extensive mall network, AEON focuses on providing diverse shopping experiences and community engagement through its innovative mall concepts.
AEON MALL Co., Ltd. recently released its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2025, highlighting a solid performance in operating revenue and income, despite challenges in net income attributable to owners. The company has shown resilience through strategic initiatives and expansion in its domestic and overseas markets.
During the first nine months of the fiscal year, AEON MALL reported a 6.0% increase in operating revenue, reaching ¥332,729 million. Operating income rose by 11.9% to ¥38,193 million, and ordinary income increased by 9.3% to ¥29,742 million. However, net income attributable to owners of the parent saw a decline of 16.5% due to extraordinary losses, including impairment losses and provisions for store closings. Geographically, the domestic business in Japan witnessed robust performance with significant contributions from revitalized malls and large-scale sales programs, while the overseas segment, particularly in Vietnam and Indonesia, also showed positive trends.
Despite a decrease in net income, AEON MALL maintained its dividend forecast and continued to expand its footprint with new mall openings in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The company is actively pursuing strategies to enhance customer engagement and adapt to market conditions, aiming to boost profitability and sustain growth.
Looking ahead, AEON MALL Co., Ltd. remains focused on its strategic objectives and plans for the fiscal year, including further mall renovations and strengthening its market position. The management foresees ongoing growth opportunities, particularly in the domestic market, while addressing the challenges in some international locations.
