The basic policies are centered on three items: \u201cpromotion of the 3-revenue-business structure,\u201d \u201creview of the business portfolio,\u201d and \u201csustainability management,\u201d with the aim of maximizing corporate value through business scale expansion and profitability structure reform. Reflecting on the previous mid-term plan, the company faced outcomes that fell short of the target due to increases in materials costs and energy costs, and going forward, emphasis will be placed on expanding high-profitability businesses and cost containment.\n\n### Outlook and Key Initiatives Going Forward\nThe mid-term plan promotes the three-business-unit structure while continuing to review the business portfolio and advance sustainability management. Specifically, the plan aims to accelerate profitability and growth through expanding business scale, improving profitability structure, and accelerating profitability through digitalization and operational efficiency. The plan focuses on a new business format for the SS business, dominant store openings and FCization for the LP business, and expanded freezing and external sales for the FLC business to build a resilient value chain and mitigate risks.","jir_financial_highlights":"Number of stores: 440 stores\nTotal store sales: 36.5 billion JPY\nOperating profit: 324 million JPY","jir_category":"Other","jir_hashtags":"#Poplar, #MidTermBusinessPlan, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Number of stores: 440 stores (Plan values for the 52nd to 54th terms) - Unknown parts are uncertain\nTotal store sales: 3.65 billion JPY - Unknown parts are uncertain\nOperating profit: 324 million JPY - Unknown parts are uncertain","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Poplar Co., Ltd.\u3011Notice of Formulation of Mid-Term Business Plan | 2027-2029","jir_meta_description":"Poplar Co., Ltd. formulates a mid-term business plan for the 52nd to 54th terms.
