The main causes are increased personnel-related expenses and higher depreciation from the new Yamagata sales office, along with higher repair costs and selling, general, and administrative expenses, which weighed on profits. By segment, the wholesale unit was solid, but the retail unit faced a continued weak consumer mindset due to high price levels, with increased promotion costs and rising costs squeezing margins. The full-year forecast remains unchanged.\n\n### Outlook and capital allocation\nThe full-year earnings forecast remains as previously disclosed. While sales are expected to grow steadily, improving operating income will hinge on investments in people and cost management. Dividend forecast is no year-end dividend; total annual dividend expected to be 48 yen.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net sales: 12,767,931\u5343\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u56db\u534a\u671f\u6bd43.8%\u5897)\nOperating income: 322,731\u5343\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u56db\u534a\u671f\u6bd4\u25b37.4%)\nOrdinary income: 410,799\u5343\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u56db\u534a\u671f\u6bd4\u25b32.8%)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent: 276,274\u5343\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u56db\u534a\u671f\u6bd4\u25b32.9%)\nFull-year net sales forecast: 52,500,000\u5343\u5186 (\u524d\u56de\u4e88\u60f3\u5909\u66f4\u306a\u3057)\nEarnings per share: 146.28\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u671f\u6bd4\u4e0d\u660e)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#SatoShokai, #Earnings, #ForecastUnchanged","jir_key_figures":"Net sales: 12,767,931\u5343\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u56db\u534a\u671f\u6bd43.8%\u5897)\nOperating income: 322,731\u5343\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u56db\u534a\u671f\u6bd4\u25b37.4%)\nOrdinary income: 410,799\u5343\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u56db\u534a\u671f\u6bd4\u25b32.8%)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent: 276,274\u5343\u5186 (\u524d\u5e74\u540c\u56db\u534a\u671f\u6bd4\u25b32.9%)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Sato Shokai Co., Ltd.\u3011Key Points of Q1 Financial Summary\uff5cFiscal Year Ending March 2027","jir_meta_description":"Summary of Sato Shokai Co., Ltd.'s Q1 FY2027 highlights.
