Semi-Annual Report — FY2026 H1

During the interim consolidated accounting period from 1 March 2026 to 31 August 2026, operating revenue increased year on year, partly due to the sales contribution from イオンフードスタイル Co., Ltd., which was launched in March 2026. However, the company reported an operating loss, ordinary loss and interim net loss attributable to owners of the parent due to the impact of pricing measures, higher selling, general and administrative expenses and other factors. In addition, the company advanced standardisation of its area strategy, store strategy and structural reform in the Tokyo metropolitan area and opened and closed stores, bringing the number of stores to 760 at the end of the interim consolidated accounting period.
