Fiscal Year Ending February 2026 Financial Summary [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Overview of Performance

For the fiscal year ending February 2026, consolidated performance showed an increase in operating revenue to 278.197 billion yen (4.3% increase YoY). Meanwhile, operating income declined to 6.468 billion yen (5.2% decrease YoY), ordinary income decreased to 7.557 billion yen (5.5% decrease YoY), and net income attributable to owners of parent fell to 5.138 billion yen (1.7% decrease YoY). In the supermarket business segment, sales increased due to the inclusion of newly consolidated subsidiary Nagano Co., Ltd. as well as store renovations and openings. However, profit was pressured by rising costs such as soaring raw material prices and labor expenses. Other businesses also achieved revenue and profit growth. The equity ratio rose to 67.3%, indicating a solid financial foundation.

Outlook

The consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2027 anticipates operating revenue of 288.5 billion yen (3.7% increase YoY), operating income of 6.8 billion yen (5.1% increase YoY), ordinary income of 7.7 billion yen (1.9% increase YoY), and net income attributable to owners of parent of 5.35 billion yen (4.1% increase YoY). Although it is the final year of the third medium-term management plan, the targets deviate from initial projections due to partial underachievement of M&A effects, inflation-driven cost increases, and rising labor costs. Nevertheless, investment in human capital and logistics infrastructure is strengthening the management base, and efforts are underway to enhance profitability and promote low-cost operations to improve corporate value.
