  3. FY2026-H1First statedAnnual report

    「The Group has borrowed substantial amounts from financial institutions to finance M&A. If market interest rates rise significantly, higher interest expenses on the floating-rate portion of its borrowings may affect performance. In addition, some of the Group's borrowings from financial institutions are subject to financial covenants. If the Group's performance deteriorates and it breaches these covenants, it may lose the benefit of time for repayment, which may affect the Group's business, financial condition and performance.」

    The Company recorded short-term borrowings of ¥367,400 million to finance the acquisition of 西友 and newly disclosed the risks of higher floating interest rates and breaches of financial covenants.
