Outlook and Key Initiatives

To achieve the medium-term management plan, we will promote "fan-based management." We aim to generate demand through the introduction of the new product ISOLETTA and kitchen truck initiatives, while continuing to address raw material price trends and rising costs. Internationally, we will focus on growth opportunities in the North American market by strengthening local operations and considering supply stability. We will appropriately manage the scale of advertising and promotional investments to enhance brand value and expand market share.
