First Quarter 2027 Period Company Presentation Materials

Performance overview

On a consolidated basis, first-quarter net sales were 14,092 million yen, up year over year, but operating income was △427 million yen with a wider loss. The inclusion of Sunrisel Service in the consolidation contributed to sales, while higher costs of raw materials and utilities and slower absorption of store opening expenses weighed on profitability. Segment-wise, the dining-out related merchandise and restaurant businesses are leading, and the key will be whether the costs associated with new openings and hiring can be absorbed.

Outlook and measures

As a growth strategy, continue M&A and actively target acquisitions of companies with annual sales of over 3 billion yen in each of the merchandise, information services, and restaurant businesses. Accelerate overseas expansion, starting from operating Japanese language schools in Myanmar to expand Asia-wide presence. Implement measures to increase customer unit price and strengthen the purchase of used kitchen equipment to drive sales growth, with a long-term vision aiming for 200 billion yen in net sales and 200 billion yen in market capitalization in three years.
