Notice Concerning Differences Between Consolidated Interim Results and Forecasts for the Fiscal Year Ending February 2027 and Revision of Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast

Overview of Results

Interim results for the fiscal year ending February 2027 fell short of the previously announced forecast. Net sales were 3,989 million yen, operating income was 211 million yen, ordinary income was 215 million yen, and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent was 83 million yen, all below the prior forecast. Interim net income per share was 14.55 yen. The shortfall was driven by reduced sales due to adverse weather and increases in labor and raw material costs associated with store operations.

Revision of Full-Year Forecast and Reasons

The full-year consolidated earnings forecast has been revised such that net sales, operating income, and ordinary income remain unchanged from the previous forecast, while net income attributable to owners of the parent has been revised downward to 66 million yen. This revision reflects the interim trends noted above and the impact of an extraordinary loss recorded in the first quarter. Future performance remains uncertain depending on weather trends and movements in raw material and labor costs.
