The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In FY2026, operating profit was supported by the contribution from Japan Blue, which became a consolidated subsidiary in August 2025, as well as management reforms including improved sales at Ponte Torto, lower depreciation and amortization expenses, and the withdrawal from unprofitable stores. In FY2027, the company expects Japan Blue's earnings to contribute for the full year, along with results from reforms across its businesses.
