Sales from continuing operations totalled JPY432bn (US$4.73bn) during the nine-month period.
The company said that sales of grocery items grew as Japanese consumers look to conserve money by eating at home.
Sales gains drove a 4.4% increase in operating income, which rose to JPY218bn, the company said in a trading update today (8 January).
However, Seven & I said net income dipped 0.6% to JPY101bn from JPY102bn for the first nine months of last year.
The retailer retained its guidance for the full year ending in February, predicting operating profit of JPY294bn, up 4.6% year-on-year.
