The consolidated earnings forecasts for the interim period and full fiscal year ending March 2027 have been revised downward. Operating revenue and operating profit for the interim period are now expected to be ¥49,846 million and ¥595 million, respectively, while full-year operating revenue and operating profit are expected to be ¥102,147 million and ¥1,970 million, respectively.
The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
Interim-period results are expected to fall below the previous forecast because of intensifying competition in the trading area, delays in store renovations resulting from delays in procuring construction materials and other factors, higher prices for packaging materials and other items, and increases in utilities costs. For the full year, improvements are expected in the second half from store renovations, expanded sales of high-margin products, reductions in product losses, productivity improvements and cost reviews, but it was determined that these improvements would not offset the decline in profitability in the first half.

These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
Operating revenue for the interim period is expected to decline because planned store renovations did not progress as scheduled, owing to intensifying competition in the trading area and delays in procuring construction materials. In addition to the decline in revenue, profit will be affected by higher prices for packaging materials and other items, as well as increases in utilities costs. For the full year, improvements are expected in the second half from store renovations beginning in October, expanded sales of high-margin products, reductions in product losses, productivity improvements and cost reviews, but it was determined that these improvements would not offset the decline in profitability in the first half.
