Notice of Variance Between Second Quarter (Interim) Consolidated Forecast and Actual Results for Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 and Revision of Full-Year Consolidated Forecast

Overview of Results

This explains the variances between second quarter results and the previous forecast. Revenue fell short due to a decline in handling volumes centered on large corporate customers and suppressed logistics demand caused by natural disasters. On the profit side, cost containment measures such as improved efficiency in transportation operations and optimization of last-mile collection and delivery were implemented, but increases in energy and raw material costs and the impact of reduced handling volumes could not be fully offset. As a result, operating income, ordinary income, and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent landed below the previous forecast.

Full-Year Outlook and Future Policy

The full-year consolidated forecast has been revised downward to 1,895,000 million yen. On the profit side, the company intends to secure the opening-year profit level by thoroughly optimizing operating costs across the entire network to offset the revenue decline. The company will continue to drive efficiency through data utilization in the transportation domain and optimization of last-mile collection and delivery structures. External factors such as foreign exchange impacts are unknown.
