Net sales are expected to fall short of the previous forecast by -5.9%, and operating income, ordinary income, and net income attributable to owners of parent are anticipated to turn to losses. The decline is mainly due to increased recruitment costs and delays in new store openings, with same-store sales trailing the prior year.\n\n### Background and Outlook\nThe deterioration in results is driven by higher personnel expenses associated with strengthened recruitment and delays in store openings. While the potential for future recovery depends on additional disclosures, the current forecasts have been prudently revised. Exchange rate information reflects the situation as of the date of this release and actual results may vary due to future factors.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 6,550 million yen (From previous forecast of 6,960 million yen: -410 million yen)\nOperating Income: -48 million yen (Difference of -106 million yen from previous forecasted profit)\nOrdinary Income: -88 million yen (Difference of -111 million yen from previous forecast)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: -131 million yen (Difference of -133 million yen from previous forecast)\nNet Income per Share: -29.69 yen (Compared with previous forecast)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#UnitedAndCollectiveIRAnalysis, #FullYearEarningsGuidanceRevision","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 6,550 million yen (previous forecast 6,960 million yen)\nOperating Income: -48 million yen\nOrdinary Income: -88 million yen\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: -131 million yen\nNet Income per Share: -29.69 yen","jir_meta_title":"United & Collective Co., Ltd.
