income of 2.551 billion yen (127.6% YoY), indicating strong progress. On the other hand, ordinary income declined to a loss of 1.295 billion yen due to the booking of mark-to-market losses on forward foreign exchange contracts, down from a profit of 2.36 billion yen in the same period last year.\n\n### Number of Stores and Shipment Results\nThe number of Gyomu Super stores reached 1,126, an increase of 32 stores compared to the same period last year. Shipment results showed steady progress with 104.8% year-over-year at directly managed existing stores and 106.5% at all stores nationwide. Price competitiveness of poultry products and eggs contributed to sales growth.\n\n### Foreign Exchange Impact and Future Outlook\nThe decrease in ordinary income is explained as a temporary effect due to the mark-to-market losses on forward foreign exchange contracts. Benefits from purchasing cost advantages of imported products due to the appreciation of the yen are expected to support operating income.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 43.146 billion yen (Year-over-Year 107.7%)\nGross Profit: 4.558 billion yen (Year-over-Year 122.7%)\nOperating Income: 2.551 billion yen (Year-over-Year 127.6%)\nOrdinary Income: \u25b21.295 billion yen (Previous year same period profit of 2.36 billion yen)\nTotal Number of Stores: 1,126 stores (Year-over-Year +32 stores)\nShipment Results at Directly Managed Existing Stores: 104.8% (Year-over-Year)\nShipment Results at All Stores Nationwide: 106.5% (Year-over-Year)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#KobeBussanCoLtd, #MonthlyIRNews, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 43.146 billion yen (January 2026, Year-over-Year 107.7%)\nOperating Income: 2.551 billion yen (January 2026, Year-over-Year 127.6%)\nTotal Number of Stores: 1,126 stores (January 2026, Year-over-Year +32 stores)","jir_meta_title":"Kobe Bussan Co., Ltd.
