Ordinary income was temporarily suppressed due to recorded mark-to-market losses on foreign exchange forward contracts; however, management notes that in phases where the yen is stronger, import cost reductions are expected to provide benefits. Sales were supported by the expansion of the Gyomu Super store network and product trends (strong sales of frozen vegetables and contributions from promotional items).\n\n### Outlook and Key Drivers\nPromotional factors in September, including exposure on TV programs and social media, contributed to sales. The addition of 7 new stores, bringing the total to 1,150 stores, is viewed as a future business opportunity. Shipment performance in directly managed areas has remained stable, and overall shipments are solid year-over-year. Although there are temporary impacts from exchange rate fluctuations, the company expects to leverage cost advantages in periods of yen appreciation.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 48,208.6 million yen (Year-over-Year 105.6%)\nGross Profit: 5,030 million yen (Year-over-Year 109.4%)\nOperating Income: 2,922 million yen (Year-over-Year 115.0%)\nOrdinary Income: 785 million yen (Year-over-Year 28.8%)\nNumber of Stores (Gyomu Super): 1,150 stores (Year-over-Year +33 stores)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KobeBussanPerformanceNovember, #MonthlyIRNews_GyomuSuperOperations","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 48,208.6 million yen (Year-over-Year 105.6%)\nGross Profit: 5,030 million yen (Year-over-Year 109.4%)\nOperating Income: 2,922 million yen (Year-over-Year 115.0%)","jir_meta_title":"Kobe Bussan Co., Ltd.
