Details of Change in Business Expansion Plan
Warabeya Nichiyo Holdings Co., Ltd. announced that the start of operations for the new factory in Columbus, Ohio, USA, initially scheduled for summer 2026 and disclosed on April 10, 2025, has been changed to undecided. This is due to changing U.S. economic conditions and market environment, with key client 7-Eleven, Inc. reviewing its supply chain in the North American region. The company is currently engaging in careful consultations with the client, requiring a reassessment of the production plan, hence the undecided start date.
Outlook and Impact on Earnings
The impact of the change in the start of operations has already been incorporated into the consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending February 2027, so no revisions to earnings forecasts are being made at this time. The company will continue to monitor market conditions and client trends closely and consider appropriate responses as necessary.
