Notice on the Difference between the Second Quarter (Interim) Earnings Forecast and Actual Results, and Upward Revision of Full-Year Earnings Forecast

Overview of Performance

This report discloses the variance between the interim period actual results (January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026) and the interim earnings forecast published on February 13, 2026, and upwardly revises the full-year earnings forecast (January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026). Although the main domestic wedding business experienced fewer wedding ceremonies than planned, higher wedding unit prices, promotion of value-added products (high-priced menu items, beverages, floristry and after-bouquet services), and continued attendee expansion contributed to actual results beating the prior forecast. The full-year forecast was raised based on interim results, with expected revenue of 49,000 million yen, net income of 1,000 million yen, and earnings per share of 800 yen. No change to the dividend forecast.

Outlook and Impact

Based on the interim results, the forecast was raised after considering demand trends. The recovery of the wedding market and ongoing measures to maintain higher unit prices are expected to continue. Impacts from the accounting policy change and the change in fiscal year-end (9 months of the 2025 fiscal year) have been disclosed. Going forward, sales growth and improvement in major profits are possible, but achieving the wedding ceremony target is a key point.
