Second Quarter (Half-Year) Financial Summary [Japan GAAP] (Non-Consolidated)

Overview of Performance

For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2027, net sales were 2,976,505 thousand yen, a decrease of 4.9% Year-over-Year. Operating income was 247,025 thousand yen, ordinary income was 288,554 thousand yen, and interim net income was 207,585 thousand yen, all below the levels of the same period last year. Interim net income per share was 39.45 yen. The full-year forecast anticipates net sales of 5,350 million yen, net income of 120 million yen, and net income per share approximately 21.80 yen (note: expressed close to the official forecast), with a dividend forecast of 11.00 yen per share (including year-end). Seasonality and higher costs impacted results, with weak demand for cleaning services and rising raw material costs pressuring profits.

Outlook and Impact on Shareholders

Based on interim results, the full-year earnings forecast is maintained under current assumptions; however, if geopolitical developments in the Middle East or continued price rises that affect household spending persist, actual results carry uncertainty. The dividend is expected to remain at the initially forecasted 11.00 yen. Cash and cash equivalents have increased and financial soundness is relatively stable, but depending on market trends it will be important to continue measures such as strengthening promotional activities and improving store operation efficiency.
