「Under the Fourth Three-Year Medium-Term Management Plan, which runs through the fiscal year ending February 2028, the group aims to achieve, in the final year, net sales of ¥560 billion, operating profit of ¥29 billion, EBITDA of ¥43 billion, net income attributable to owners of the parent of ¥16.5 billion, a total payout ratio of at least 40%, and progressive dividends.」

「While the Japanese economy continued to recover moderately during the six months ended the current interim period due to improvements in employment and income conditions, uncertainty remained because of the potential impact of new US foreign and trade policies, heightened geopolitical risks, and concerns about a downturn in overseas economies due to higher tariffs. The retail industry in which the Group primarily operates also continued to face an uncertain operating environment, affected by deteriorating consumer sentiment amid rising prices, higher logistics costs, and supply constraints due to labor shortages. Against this backdrop, the Group announced in April 2025 the Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan covering the fiscal years ending February 2026 through February 2028 and is implementing various measures to achieve the plan. The final-year targets are sales of ¥560 billion, operating profit of ¥29 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥16.5 billion. The Group will continue pursuing higher sales and profitability while further strengthening its financial position.」
