Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 Q1 Financial Summary (Japan GAAP) [Consolidated]

Business performance overview

The company, which concentrates on food retail, is pursuing a three-year medium-term management plan. Growth in sales was supported by new store openings and stronger price competitiveness, but profit was pressured by increases in raw materials and labor costs. For the first quarter, net sales reached 24.999 billion yen, operating income 638 million yen, ordinary income 669 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent 426 million yen, with year-over-year changes of +4.2%, +0.9%, +1.2%, and -8.8% respectively. Segments showed solid performance in supermarkets and cash-and-carry stores; bento catering faced challenges, while grocery home delivery remained solid. Full-year forecasts unchanged.

Outlook and strategy

We will continue to advance the medium-term plan, including responding to social environment changes and digitalization. By expanding new formats, broadening partners, improving quality, and enhancing operational efficiency, we aim to raise corporate value. Store expansion strategies, such as franchising the Hidaka-Ya Niigata Station storefront, will continue. Profit guidance remains at current level, with careful attention to increases in raw materials and labor costs.
