Notice of Revision to Full-Year Consolidated Earnings Forecast for Fiscal Year Ending February 2027

Revision of Earnings Forecast and Causes

We have revised the full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending February 2027. While net sales are maintained at the previous forecast level of 97,000 hundred million yen, operating income, ordinary income, and net income have been significantly revised downward. The primary cause was that recovery in sales of freshly made onigiri and other items in the first half did not progress as planned; delays in assortments of daily delivered products and hot snacks, along with weather factors, resulted in sales and gross profit margin falling short of plan. In the second half, we aim to recover through strengthened assortments, expanded delivery services, and improved efficiency of head office operations.

Future Initiatives and Business Structure

In the second half, we will promote business structure reforms centered on (1) strengthening in-store processed fast food and daily delivered products, (2) enhancing combo stores utilizing delivery, and (3) supporting franchisees and improving head office profitability. We plan to reduce company-operated stores while implementing head office workload reductions through digital utilization and optimizing expenses.
