yen, adjusted EBITDA was 1,461 million yen, operating profit was 1,240 million yen, with a substantial year-on-year increase. Contributions from M&A and suppression of depreciation were factors. The number of stores continues to expand, though geopolitical tensions in the Middle East introduce some uncertainty. Full-year plan progress is above 50% for operating profit.","jir_summary":"### Overview of Results\nIn the 2Q cumulative period, revenue was 10,780 million yen, operating profit 1,240 million yen, and adjusted EBITDA 1,461 million yen. Profit increased significantly versus the same period last year, driven mainly by contributions from M&A and restraint on depreciation for fixed assets of stores (2Q cumulative: \u25b2144 million yen). Domestic store openings continue, and with a rise in customer spend per visit and revisions to services, sales and margin improvements are sought. On the other hand, due to the Middle East situation, near-term store-opening environments remain uncertain.\n\n### Outlook and Risks\nThe full-year plan contemplates revenue of 22,897 million yen and operating profit of 2,400 million yen. As of 2Q, operating profit is progressing at over 50% of the plan, and the continuation of M&A effects and optimization of fixed costs are expected to lift profit. However, geopolitical uncertainties and cost trends such as raw materials and labor costs could cause earnings fluctuations.","jir_financial_highlights":"Revenue: 10,780 million yen\nOperating profit: 1,240 million yen\nAdjusted EBITDA: 1,461 million yen\nStore count trend (domestic): +132 stores (cumulative)\n2Q cumulative progress: Operating profit progress 47.1% against the full-year plan","jir_category":"Results.","jir_hashtags":"#AB & Company, #financial_summary, #JapanEquities","jir_key_figures":"Revenue: 10,780 million yen (YoY +16.8%)\nOperating profit: 1,240 million yen (YoY +52.5%)\nAdjusted EBITDA: 1,461 million yen (YoY +30.9%)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010AB & Company\u30112Q Results: Revenue Growth and Profit Expansion\uff5cFY2026","jir_meta_description":"Analysis of AB & Company's Q2 FY2026 results.
