Financial Summary for the Fiscal Year Ending February 2026 [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Performance Overview

For the fiscal year ending February 2026, consolidated net sales increased to ¥65,518 million (7.4% YoY increase). This growth was driven by the price revision effect at domestic CoCo Ichibanya stores and business expansion of domestic and overseas subsidiaries. However, higher costs due to rising prices of ingredients including rice, and increased logistics expenses led to a decline in operating income to ¥4,715 million (4.3% YoY decrease) and ordinary income to ¥4,985 million (4.0% YoY decrease). Net income attributable to owners of parent was ¥2,562 million (19.2% YoY decrease), impacted by increased store impairment losses and fixed asset retirement losses associated with software replacement at the headquarters.

Outlook and Business Development

For the fiscal year ending February 2027, consolidated earnings forecast anticipates net sales of ¥72,600 million (10.8% YoY increase), operating income of ¥5,000 million (6.0% YoY increase), and net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥2,720 million (6.1% YoY increase). Domestic CoCo Ichibanya plans to advance new customer acquisition through improvements in QSC and effective marketing. Overseas businesses will focus on expanding the North American market and restructuring operations in China. Domestic subsidiaries will promote multi-format expansion through M&A to drive profit growth. However, a challenging business environment is expected to continue due to rising ingredient prices, logistics, and labor costs.
