Strong domestic department store sales and duty-free sales, together with a decrease in special loss recognition such as impairment losses on fixed assets, contributed to the results. The full-year forecasts have been revised upward to reflect the actual results while taking into account cost trends in the second half.\n\n### Year-End Dividend and Shareholder Returns\nThe year-end dividend forecast has been revised so that the annual dividend will not maintain the previous assumption of 20 yen \u00d7 2 payments; instead the year-end dividend is set at 25 yen, resulting in an annual dividend of 25 yen per share. The policy indicates an intention to aim for dividends commensurate with performance while maintaining financial soundness.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: million yen 57,362 (Previous forecast 57,000 \u2192 Actual 57,362 Change 362)\nOperating Income: million yen 3,014 (Previous forecast 2,700 \u2192 Actual 3,014 Change 314)\nOrdinary Income: million yen 3,052 (Previous forecast 2,700 \u2192 Actual 3,052 Change 352)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Interim): million yen 2,220 (Previous forecast 1,700 \u2192 Actual 2,220 Change 520)\nNet Income per Share (Interim): yen 55.00 (Previous forecast 42.10 \u2192 Actual 55.00 Change Unknown)\nNet Sales: million yen 47,029 (Previous forecast 46,000 \u2192 Actual 47,029 Change 1,029)\nOperating Income: million yen 2,573 (Previous forecast 2,400 \u2192 Actual 2,573 Change 173)\nOrdinary Income: million yen 2,775 (Previous forecast 2,300 \u2192 Actual 2,775 Change 475)\nNet Income (Interim): million yen 2,015 (Previous forecast 1,400 \u2192 Actual 2,015 Change 615)\nNet Income per Share (Interim): yen 49.93 (Previous forecast 34.67 \u2192 Actual 49.93 Change -)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KintetsuDepartmentStore, #EarningsForecastRevision, #YearEndDividendRevision","jir_key_figures":"Full-year consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ending February 2027 117,000 million yen \u2192 Revised upward from previous forecast of 116,000 million yen\nFull-year consolidated operating income for the fiscal year ending February 2027 6,200 million yen \u2192 Revised upward from previous forecast of 5,600 million yen\nYear-end dividend forecast 25 yen, previous forecast 20 yen, actual 0 yen (as of the second quarter financial results)\nSecond quarter interim net income for the fiscal year ending February 2027 2,220 million yen (consolidated) \u00b7 2,015 million yen (non-consolidated)","jir_meta_title":"Kintetsu Department Store Co., Ltd. \u2014 Revision of Q2 (Interim) Forecasts for FY Ending Feb 2027 | Full-Year Upward Revision and Year-End Dividend 25 yen","jir_meta_description":"Kintetsu Department Store Co., Ltd. revises its interim forecasts for FY ending Feb 2027.
