Fiscal Year Ending February 2027 Second Quarter (Interim) Financial Summary [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Performance Overview

During the interim period of the fiscal year ending February 2027, Aeon Kyushu Co., Ltd. recorded slightly higher revenue compared with the prior year, while operating income, ordinary income and net income declined significantly due to elevated raw material costs and expenses related to earthquake impact. Continued growth investments such as new store openings, store reorganizations and digitalization investments were maintained, but the recording of earthquake-related expenses as special losses was a major factor behind the substantial decrease in net income. The consolidated scope includes the addition of Tokiha Industry, and operations are primarily centered on retail segments such as SM/DS/GM S.

Outlook and Financial Position

There is no change to the full-year earnings forecast for fiscal 2027, and the most recent dividend forecast remains unchanged. However, temporary store closures and logistics disruptions due to earthquake effects may persist, and attention is required regarding sustained high raw material prices and exchange rate movements. Liquidity such as cash and deposits is not disclosed. Despite uncertainty, the company will continue store openings and investments in growth areas and promote digital/ DX investments aiming for earnings recovery.
