Notice of Revision to Consolidated Earnings Guidance for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year Ending February 2027
Existing stores remain solid, but a delay in new store openings is expected to lower total operating revenue. Gross profit improved due to better-than-planned sales from the company-owned factory's external retail and frozen businesses, resulting in upward revisions to operating profit and interim net income. Full-year guidance remains unchanged.
Key Figures
- Total Operating Revenue: 5,956 million yen
- Operating Income: 199 million yen

Summary of the Revision to Earnings Outlook
We have revised the consolidated earnings guidance for the second quarter (interim) of the fiscal year ending February 2027. Same-store sales progressed solidly year-over-year, but total operating revenue is expected to fall short of the previous guidance due to delays in the timing of new store openings. Although increases in raw material and labor costs had an impact, sales to external retail customers and the frozen business from our company-owned factory exceeded plans, leading to higher gross profit. The factory segment's profit contribution offsets cost increases and the revenue shortfall at stores, prompting upward revisions to profit forecasts. The full-year consolidated earnings guidance remains unchanged.
Outlook and Risks
Given the uncertain outlook for the environment, if conditions arise that require a revision to the full-year guidance, we will disclose information promptly. Going forward, performance may be affected by the continued strength of existing stores and progress of new store openings, trends in raw material and labor costs, and the degree of contribution from the factory segment.
