Operating income was 637 million yen, ordinary income was 624 million yen, and interim net income was 401 million yen, all above prior forecasts. Factors improving profitability included increased sales contributions from the DIY division and higher rental income improving gross operating profit, as well as cost reductions such as restrained promotional expenses. However, external factors such as weather-related impacts remain. The full-year forecast has been revised based on progress through the second quarter and taking into account store renovation investments planned for the second half.\n\n### Outlook and Impact on Investors\nThe revised full-year forecast reflects investment plans including store renovation investments in the second half, and future performance is expected to be influenced by stable earnings from the DIY division and trends in rental income. Compared with the same period last year, profit margin improvements may continue, and efficient promotion leading to effective cost management will be an important factor. Attention is required for external environmental fluctuations such as adverse weather, but current progress is proceeding above the previous outlook.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 15,814 (From previous forecast (A) approx. 14,500 \u2192 Actual, change +1,314 (approx. 2.0% increase))\nOperating Income: 637 (From previous forecast (A) 450 \u2192 Actual 637, change +187 (approx. 41.6% increase))\nOrdinary Income: 624 (From previous forecast (A) 500 \u2192 Actual 624, change +124 (approx. 24.9% increase))\nInterim Net Income: 401 (From previous forecast (A) 350 \u2192 Actual 401, change +51 (approx. 14.6% increase))\nInterim Net Income per Share: 73 yen 81 sen (From previous forecast (A) 63 yen 89 sen \u2192 Actual 73 yen 81 sen, change +9 yen 92 sen)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ShareBuybackRelated, #CapitalPolicy, #SummaryOfForecastRevisionNotEarningsReport","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 15,814 million yen (vs. previous forecast: +314 million yen)\nOperating Income: 637 million yen (vs. previous forecast: +187 million yen)\nOrdinary Income: 624 million yen (vs. previous forecast: +124 million yen)","jir_meta_title":"Sekichu Co., Ltd.
