Financial Summary for the Second Quarter of the Year Ending January 2027 (Interim Period) [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Overview of Performance

Industry-wide sales for the cumulative second quarter remained on an upswing, supported by revitalization measures at existing stores and contributions from new openings. However, costs associated with store openings, repairs, and renovations reduced operating profit versus the prior year. The full-year plan shows revenue of 12,300 million yen, operating profit of 660 million yen, ordinary profit of 670 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent of 409 million yen, with per-share indicators also presented post-share split. The company conducted share buybacks, signaling active capital policy.

Outlook and Key Factors

The full-year plan remains as disclosed, with indicators adjusted to reflect the impact of the share split. Continued new-store openings and strengthened existing stores will support the earnings base, but cost increases could pressure results. The financial position, including inventories, payables, and accrued expenses, remains sound, while share buybacks are important for shareholder return and dilution considerations.
