Aeon said weak sales of food and clothing had been offset by higher revenues at its credit services and shopping centre units, reported Reuters.


Aeon forecast operating profit up 19% to ¥157bn for the year to 20 February 2005, backing a forecast made in April. The company expects a record group net profit of ¥66bn for the year.
