While improving profitability at directly managed stores and advancing new openings and format conversions, total sales grew amid a severe environment for the foodservice business. Supplementary financial materials and an earnings presentation were held.\n\n### Outlook and Shareholder Returns\nThe full-year forecast remains unchanged from the previous announcement. The dividend policy is unchanged at 2 yen at the end of Q1, 2 yen at the end of Q2, and a forecasted 3 yen at year-end, totaling 5 yen. The company will continue new store openings and format conversions, and promote store strategy and human resource utilization. Recovery of performance depends on cost control of raw materials, labor and utilities, and a recovery in customer traffic.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 13,298 million yen (YoY +4.2%)\nOperating Income: 33 million yen (YoY -40.2%)\nOrdinary Income: 37 million yen (YoY -57.6%)\nInterim Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: -91 million yen (YoY -)\nEBITDA: 491 million yen (YoY -3.8%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Chimney, #Earnings, #InterimResults, #StoreStrategy","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 13,298 million yen\nOperating Income: 33 million yen\nInterim Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: -91 million yen","jir_meta_title":"Chimney Co., Ltd.
