Japan's Seven & I 9-month profits rise, keeps outlook
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's top retailer, Seven & I Holdings <3382.T>, posted a 23 percent rise in operating profit for the first nine months of the business year as customer visits to its convenience stores rose and reconstruction efforts boosted sales at its supermarkets in quake-hit areas.
Seven & I, which ranks ahead of Aeon Co <8267.T>, reported on Friday an operating profit of 216.22 billion yen ($2.8 billion) for March-November, in part because convenience store visits by older customers and women stayed high after rising in the aftermath of the March 11 disasters.
For its business year to February 2012, the owner of 7-Eleven, the world's largest convenience store chain, maintained an operating-profit outlook of 286 billion yen, in line with the average estimate of 290 billion yen in a poll of 19 analysts by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Seven & I's forecast is the highest since it posted a 286.8 billion yen profit in its 2006 business year, which was a record since its establishment as a holding company.
Several Japanese general retailers are poised to take in record profits in their current year -- for most the year ending next March 31 -- amid a post-quake boost in demand, increased sales of higher-margin prepared meals, and private-label products as well as operating efficiency improvements.
Shares of Seven & I fell about 1 percent in 2011, versus a 17 percent tumble in the benchmark Nikkei average <.N225>.

Weather and worry hit H&M sales again
By Veronica Ek
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish fashion group Hennez & Mauritz (H&M)
With the euro zone deep in a debt crisis and global economic growth looking sluggish, consumers have held back on spending instead of splurging on new fashion items. Meanwhile, unseasonable temperatures have limited the demand for winter wear.
In November, sales at comparable H&M stores -- open for a year or more -- fell 1 percent, missing a mean forecast for a 0.4 percent rise in a Reuters poll of analysts. Forecasts ranged between minus 4 and plus 4 percent.
"It indicates that they are growing roughly in line with the market. It seems quite reasonable, but we had expected they would grow slightly faster," said Christian Anderson, an analyst at Swedbank.
Total turnover at the world's second biggest apparel retailer, which recently launched a collection by Italian fashion icon Donatella Versace, rose 9 percent in local currencies in November, missing the poll average of a 10.2 percent rise.
"I was a bit disappointed this morning. We saw Inditex's third quarter yesterday, and they managed to increase both sales and earnings more than H&M," said Nicolaj Jeppesen, an analyst at Sydbank.
Sales at H&M rival Inditex
"To me it's quite surprising since we know that H&M are doing some heavy discounting and a lot of campaign work. We got the impression that Inditex didn't discount as much," Jeppesen said.
Shares at H&M, which provides no comment with its monthly sales, were down 0.67 percent at 0901 GMT, underperforming a 0.5 percent gain in the European retail sector <.SXRP>.
DOWNTURN BITES
Sales in comparable stores at H&M have fallen for the past six months with the exception of August, when they were flat, reflecting weaker consumer confidence globally.
U.S. retail sales grew at their slowest pace in five months in November, tempering expectations for a strong Christmas shopping season. In the euro area, October retail sales rose slightly on the month, but economists said future prospects were poor.
H&M, with almost 2,500 stores in 43 countries, is often seen as better positioned to cope with a downturn than many others, thanks to its geographic spread and focus on catwalk fashion at low prices.
But analysts fear that the unusually warm weather across many markets this autumn has dented consumer appetite for new winter coats and knitwear, leading to more markdowns that might hurt profit margins in the fourth quarter and beyond.
"I expect the margins to be lower than those of Inditex and what we normally see from H&M. I expect an EBIT margin of around 18 percent (in the fourth quarter). They have delivered above 20 in the past," Jeppesen said, citing markdowns and high cotton prices.
In H&M's fiscal fourth quarter to November, sales excluding value-added tax rose to 30.9 billion Swedish crowns ($4.4 billion) from 29.7 billion a year earlier and below 31.4 billion crowns seen in a Reuters poll.
Full fourth-quarter results are due on January 26.
