Full-year guidance remains unchanged.","jir_summary":"### Summary of the Revision to Earnings Outlook\nWe have revised the consolidated earnings guidance for the second quarter (interim) of the fiscal year ending February 2027. Same-store sales progressed solidly year-over-year, but total operating revenue is expected to fall short of the previous guidance due to delays in the timing of new store openings. Although increases in raw material and labor costs had an impact, sales to external retail customers and the frozen business from our company-owned factory exceeded plans, leading to higher gross profit. The factory segment's profit contribution offsets cost increases and the revenue shortfall at stores, prompting upward revisions to profit forecasts. The full-year consolidated earnings guidance remains unchanged.\n\n### Outlook and Risks\nGiven the uncertain outlook for the environment, if conditions arise that require a revision to the full-year guidance, we will disclose information promptly. Going forward, performance may be affected by the continued strength of existing stores and progress of new store openings, trends in raw material and labor costs, and the degree of contribution from the factory segment.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total Operating Revenue: 5,956 million yen (Previous guidance A 6,135 million yen, -179)\nOperating Income: 199 million yen (Previous guidance A 141 million yen, +58)\nOrdinary Income: 201 million yen (Previous guidance A 140 million yen, +61)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Interim): 158 million yen (Previous guidance A 72 million yen, +86)\nInterim Net Income per Share: 11.08 yen (Previous guidance A 3.71 yen, +7.37)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ShareBuyback_StockRelated, #EarningsRevision","jir_key_figures":"Total Operating Revenue: 5,956 million yen\nOperating Income: 199 million yen\nOrdinary Income: 201 million yen","jir_meta_title":"Poplar Co., Ltd. | Revision to Q2 FY2027 Earnings Guidance \u2014 Revenue Down, Profits Up","jir_meta_description":"Poplar Co., Ltd. has revised its consolidated earnings guidance for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2027.
