Notice Regarding Differences Between Consolidated Earnings Forecast and Results for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 and Revision of Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast

Summary of Results

This report discloses the differences between the consolidated earnings forecast and actual results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027. Net sales were 166,124 million yen, operating income was 7,835 million yen, ordinary income was 7,992 million yen, net income attributable to owners of parent (interim) was 7,037 million yen, and net income per share (interim) was 199.70 yen. These results exceeded the prior forecast, and the full-year forecast has been revised upward to net sales of 340,700 million yen, operating income of 14,800 million yen, ordinary income of 15,200 million yen, net income attributable to owners of parent of 17,700 million yen, and net income per share of 502.23 yen. While second-half net sales were revised upward reflecting the contribution of the newly consolidated distribution processing business and foreign exchange effects, operating income for the period was maintained at the initially assumed level due to increases in variable costs and revised outsourcing expenses.

Outlook and Impact

For the second half, although chartered transport business is expected to underperform, forecasts were revised upward by incorporating contributions from the distribution processing business, an increase in international business volumes, and foreign exchange trends. Taking the interim variances into account, ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of parent have also been revised upward, and expectations for profit growth remain. It is noted that results for the second half may fluctuate depending on external factors.
