By segment, sales and profits were recorded for the KCC Group, Kotobuki Seika Group, Sucray Group, and domestic and overseas sales subsidiaries, trending above or close to initial forecasts. Regional sales are broken down by areas including the Tokyo metropolitan area, China, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa, with supplementary information relevant to future market trends. The earnings guidance section suggests the possibility of revising the full-year forecast upward, so attention should be paid to differences between first-half results and second-half forecasts.\n\n### Outlook and Impact for Investors\nThe full-year forecast indicates potential for upward revision, and outlooks for capital expenditures and depreciation are also presented. There is a possibility that the dividend per share forecast could be raised from 35.00 yen to 45.00 yen, which could be positive for investors who prioritize dividend stability and growth. Monitoring segment-level sales and profit trends will help identify areas for strengthening future revenue sources and will increase confidence in the execution of the medium-term plan.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 18,050 million yen (Vs. initial forecast +446 million yen \/ Change 1.3%)\nGross Profit: 11,790 million yen (Vs. initial forecast +520 million yen \/ Change 1.3% (vs. initial forecast))\nOperating Profit: 3,280 million yen (Vs. initial forecast +470 million yen)\nRegional Sales Composition (Tokyo Metropolitan Area): 41.9% (Interim FY2026\u20132027) (Year-over-Year 0.0%\u301cfluctuations)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KotobukiSpirits, #Earnings, #BySegment, #RegionalSales, #EarningsGuidance","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 18,050 million yen (Vs. initial forecast +446 million yen \/ Change 1.3%)\nGross Profit: 11,790 million yen (Vs. initial forecast +520 million yen \/ Change 2.2%)\nOperating Profit: 3,280 million yen (Vs. initial forecast +470 million yen \/ Change 1.8%)","jir_meta_title":"Kotobuki Spirits Co., Ltd.
