YAKUODO HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. Financial Summary for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year Ending February 2027

Overview of Results

The company, centered on its drugstore business, has continued to promote store openings and renovations. For the second quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2027, net sales reached 89,759 million yen, up 8.4% year on year. However, due to rising cost of goods sold and increases in selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income decreased to 328.9 million yen (YoY -5.3%). Ordinary income was 323.9 million yen (YoY -9.5%), and net income attributable to owners of parent for the interim period was approximately 223.2 million yen (YoY -11.8%). The company operated 468 stores, carried out renovations at 28 stores, and continued a super-high-speed dominant-area store opening strategy centered on the Tohoku region and the Kanto area.

Outlook and Impact on Shareholders

Interim results are progressing as planned and there is no change to the full-year forecast. The company aims to increase customer visits and purchase counts through openings and renovations while continuing to promote low-cost operations. Although financial soundness is being maintained, the increase in long-term borrowings warrants attention to financing and cash flow trends. The dividend forecast for the current fiscal year remains as previously announced with no changes.
