Outlook and points to note

There is no change to the full-year earnings forecast since it was first announced. In an environment of sustained higher raw material and logistics costs, the company will continue to strengthen store strategies, allocate human resources, and pursue cost reductions. The movements across segments require ongoing attention, with particular focus on impairment risks related to store operations in the meat-related retail segment and the impact of store replacements.
