Notice Regarding the Difference Between Consolidated Earnings Forecast for the Six Months Ended June 2026 and Actual Results

Performance Overview

In the domestic business, higher personnel costs and opportunity losses due to a higher concentration of store visits than the previous year occurred. The continuous heavy rain in June 2026 also significantly reduced the number of customers, causing domestic earnings to miss the forecast. Overseas, recovery in Hong Kong and the United States fell short of expectations, and delays in openings in new markets also affected results. As a result, the full-year consolidated operating income is expected to be 1,493 million yen, ordinary income 1,255 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent 803 million yen.

Outlook and Key Factors

Key factors are ongoing efforts to restrain domestic personnel costs and optimize store visits, and the pace of recovery in overseas operations. It will be necessary to monitor the impact of price revisions and promotional measures, as well as progress of store openings and local market demand. The measures and progress in response to this difference are likely to be focal points in the next announcement.
