Pre-tax-revision rush demand boosted sales of third-category beer and happoshu (low-malt beer). Despite inflationary pressures, strong contributions came from items with intensified price promotions (televisions, pet supplies, processed foods, etc.), leading overall performance above last year\u2019s results. On the other hand, prolonged rain in the Kanto region suppressed seasonal product demand, and a pullback from last year\u2019s rice stockpiling affected sales; stores impacted by the Kumamoto earthquake have also experienced partial reductions in selling floor area.\n\n### Outlook and Points to Note\nStores affected by the Kumamoto earthquake continue to operate with reduced selling floor area, and the impact on results is under review. Although September exceeded the prior year, uncertainties remain due to weather factors and demand pullbacks. The fiscal second-quarter financial results for the year ending February 2027 are scheduled for release on October 8, and further performance trends are expected to be disclosed in the upcoming earnings announcement.","jir_financial_highlights":"Comparable Store Sales: YoY 100.0% (YoY 100.0%)\nComparable Store Customer Traffic: YoY 100.4% (YoY 100.4%)\nTotal Store Sales: Unknown (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#MrMax, #MonthlyFlashReport, #SalesTrends","jir_key_figures":"Comparable Store Sales: YoY 100.0%\nComparable Store Customer Traffic: YoY 100.4%\nFirst Half Cumulative\/Second Half Cumulative\/Full Year Total: Unknown","jir_meta_title":"Mr Max Holdings Ltd.
