An update from Kotobuki Spirits Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2222) ) is now available.

Kotobuki Spirits Co., Ltd. reported estimated third-quarter sales for the fiscal year ending March 2026 of ¥22.7 billion, an 8.6% year-on-year increase, with cumulative sales for April–December projected at ¥58.49 billion, up 8.7%. Growth was broad-based across major segments, led by SUCREY GROUP, KCC, and KOTOBUKISEIKA GROUP, supported by initiatives to enhance product value, improve store operations and sales capabilities, and accelerate new store openings and inbound tourism strategies. Despite a challenging environment marked by slowing inbound tourist growth, heightened consumer thriftiness due to inflation, and the Chinese government’s advisory against non-essential travel to Japan, inbound sales at international terminals are still expected to rise 6.0% to ¥2.93 billion, helped by strengthened measures at locations such as the renovated Fukuoka Airport International Terminal, underscoring the group’s resilient positioning in travel retail and confectionery demand.
