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

Performance Overview

Consolidated revenue for the interim period was 4,710 million yen, a 1.6% increase year-over-year. However, the company recorded an operating loss of 65 million yen, an ordinary loss of 34 million yen, and a net loss attributable to owners of parent of 33 million yen for the interim period. The opening of three new stores and the acquisition and consolidation of a previously non-consolidated subsidiary altered the revenue composition across the Fresh Fish, Food & Beverage and Real Estate segments, affecting overall performance. The full-year forecast remains as previously announced. The financial position shows total assets of 3,130 million yen, an equity ratio of 27.6%, and net assets of 8.65 million yen, indicating stability.

Outlook and Impact on Shareholders

The Group aims to stabilize its earnings base through subsidiary consolidation and store expansion. Although the full-year forecast is unchanged, external risks such as rising raw material costs and increased logistics expenses remain points of attention. There is no set date to commence dividend payments (no dividend forecast currently disclosed), and a year-end dividend is not expected at this time. Going forward, the benefits of new store openings and improvements in cost control are expected to be key to restoring profitability.
