Summary of Financial Results for the Second Quarter (Interim Period) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

Revenue exceeded the same period of the previous year due to M&A and an increase in in-store share, while each profit figure below operating profit declined due to higher logistics costs, personnel expenses and interest expenses, as well as delays in passing higher costs through to prices. The full-year earnings forecast and annual dividend forecast were left unchanged.
