What the company explained in this material
Self-assessment against the planThe company's self-assessment against its own plan.
Broadly in line with expectationsKey points of the Q&AKey questions raised by investors at the briefing and the company's answers
- Why revenue growth was limited to 0.7%: recurring revenue from the Management Support business and growth in Vietnam offset the revenue decline resulting from domestic store restructuring.
- Assessment of the operating loss: structural reforms and growth investment were implemented as planned, improving the operating loss by ¥6 million.
- Conditions for becoming profitable in the second half: approximately ¥115 million in operating profit is required in the second half. The company aims to achieve this through fixed-cost reductions, expansion into target fields, seasonal demand during the busy period, and growth and improved profitability in overseas operations.
- Progress against the full-year forecast: first-half progress was 46.9%, broadly in line with expectations compared with the 47–50% range in previous years. The full-year forecast remains unchanged.
- Foreign worker placement service: expanding into fields such as food processing, nursing care and accommodation, expanding into new target countries, and launching a Japanese personnel placement service.
- Support for licensed stores: continuing measures such as royalty reductions in response to soaring raw material prices, with the end date to be determined based on conditions rather than set in advance.
- Omise Craft business transfer: scheduled for 1 September 2026. The company will increase customer contact points before opening and support the entire lifecycle of restaurant management.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The buildup of recurring revenue from store opening and closing support, growth in the Vietnam business, and optimization of the cost structure through the closure of unprofitable domestic stores contributed to the improvement. On the other hand, the development of new fields and target countries for the foreign worker placement service, investment in personnel, and domestic store restructuring weighed on profit and revenue.
