In the third quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2026, operating revenue was 416,987 million yen (11.7% YoY increase), and operating income was 17,601 million yen (2.4% YoY increase). Net income attributable to owners of parent for the quarter was 11,102 million yen (8.1% YoY decrease), representing a decline in profitability.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased, causing a slight decline in the operating margin compared to the same period last year. By segment, the retail business posted operating revenue of 403,156 million yen (11.9% YoY increase) and operating income of 12,911 million yen (0.6% YoY decrease), supported by customer traffic recovery and the introduction of the new private brand 'Yumeichi.' The retail-related business also achieved both revenue and profit growth.
