Seven & i Holdings has reported a strong six-month performance for 7-Eleven Australia, with store sales climbing above the previous year’s mark.
Reporting for the six-month period ending August 31, 2025, showed a positive result for 7-Eleven Australia, despite sales being impacted by stricter tobacco sales regulations. The company attributed the rise to an “increase in customer traffic” spurred by measures such as “enhanced fresh food product development and expanded assortment”.
The strong performance in Australia occurred as parent group, Seven & i Holdings, executed a major strategic shift and saw significant profit growth overall. Net income soared by 233.1 per cent year on year, rising to approximately A$1.22 billion (¥121.8 billion). This surge was primarily driven by an increase in operating income and a gain from the sale of store assets in its superstore division.
Consolidated operating income for the group rose 11.4 per cent to approximately A$2.09 billion (¥208.4 billion). However, overall revenues from operations for the first half saw a decrease of 6.9 per cent to around A$56.48 billion (¥5.62 trillion).
As part of a new strategy to focus on global convenience store growth, Seven Bank, Ltd. and its subsidiaries were excluded from the scope of consolidation as of June 24, 2025, and subsequently became an equity method affiliate.
