The cause is attributed to a combination of operator error involving gas equipment and equipment failure, with investigations and preventive measures being implemented by external specialists. Gas equipment inspections and safety measures are being reinforced across all factories, and employee training is also underway. Operations are halted, and recovery is expected to take time.\n\n### Impact on Business and Future Outlook\nWhile operations are suspended due to the damage, manufacturing has been transferred to Warabe-ya Kushiro Factory in Hokkaido, and production of prepared bread has temporarily resumed at the Sapporo Nishi Factory. The impact on consolidated performance for the fiscal year ending February 2027 is expected to be limited, with ongoing assessments of recovery costs and timelines. The company maintains insurance coverage, though the amount of insurance proceeds remains undecided. Further disclosures will be made promptly if necessary.","jir_financial_highlights":"Human damage: One minor injury (Unknown)\nProperty damage: Partial destruction of buildings and manufacturing equipment (Unknown)\nOperation status: Operation halted (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Warabe-yaNippiHoldings, #FireAccident, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Human damage: One minor injury\nProperty damage: Partial destruction of buildings and manufacturing equipment\nOperation halt: Sapporo Factory","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Warabe-ya Nippi Holdings\u3011Sapporo Factory Fire and Business Continuity Measures\uff5c2026-05","jir_meta_description":"Warabe-ya Nippi Holdings discloses damage details and prevention measures related to the Sapporo factory fire.
