Fiscal Year Ending February 2026 Q2 (Interim) Financial Summary [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Overview of Performance

This financial summary reports the consolidated results and financial position for the second quarter (interim) of the fiscal year ending February 2026. Net sales expanded to 170,933 million yen, a 7.4% increase year-over-year, while operating income, ordinary income, and net income attributable to owners of parent all declined year-over-year, indicating a slowdown in profitability. A dividend of 20 yen was recorded as of the end of the second quarter, and the full-year forecast is unchanged. The full acquisition of Pet's First Holdings, added to the scope of consolidation, had an impact on the interim consolidated results.

Outlook and Impact on Shareholders

There is no change to the full-year earnings forecast; existing earnings guidance is maintained. The acquisition of the new subsidiary is expected to generate goodwill and may affect future profit levels. By segment, Retail, Food Service, Real Estate and Others contributed to results, and store expansion and acceleration of digital initiatives are expected to continue. Attention should be paid to cost trends, including efforts to control cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, alongside factors that may increase expenses.
