Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 Q2 (Interim) Financial Summary [Japanese GAAP]

Overview of Performance

For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, consolidated results showed net sales of 10,766 hundred million yen (YoY 0.9% increase), a modest rise, while operating income declined significantly to 188 hundred million yen (YoY -34.6%). Ordinary income was 139 hundred million yen (YoY -37.1%), and net income attributable to owners of parent for the interim period fell sharply to 109 hundred million yen (YoY -82.6%). The decline in interim net income is attributed to factors such as higher cost of goods sold and increased selling, general and administrative expenses. Preparation of supplemental materials and holding of an earnings briefing will continue.

Segment Trends

The domestic dining business delivered generally solid net sales, but segment profits remain under pressure. The overseas dining business reported net sales of 920 million yen with a segment loss of 11 million yen, showing lower sales and profits; however, efforts such as store restructuring, renovations, and optimization are underway to reduce losses. The ready-made meal business recorded net sales of 2,189 million yen and segment profit of 118 million yen, a substantial increase year on year. The production and distribution business posted net sales of 826 million yen and segment profit of 55 million yen, showing profit growth. Overall, store optimization and rising raw material costs weighed on profitability.
