Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending February 2026 · Full yearPrevious forecast published 11 April 2025The 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.
In the core Poplar and Seikatsu Saika business, customer numbers fell below the previous year from September onward due partly to the impact of competing stores, while external sales from the company's prepared-meal factory and the Lawson-Poplar business performed well. On the profit side, costs increased due to higher raw material prices and logistics costs, and upfront expenses were incurred, including personnel expenses to establish a production increase structure associated with the operation of tunnel-type freezer equipment. In addition, the estimate for corporate income taxes and other taxes was revised because non-consolidated results are expected to fall below plan.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the core Poplar and Seikatsu Saika business, customer numbers fell below the previous year from September onward due partly to the impact of competing stores. However, external sales from the company's prepared-meal factory and the Lawson-Poplar business performed well, resulting in operating revenue exceeding the previous forecast. On the profit side, in addition to higher raw material prices and logistics costs, upfront expenses were incurred, including personnel expenses to establish a production increase structure associated with the operation of tunnel-type freezer equipment. In addition, net income is expected to fall below the forecast following a revision to the estimate for corporate income taxes and other taxes due to weaker-than-expected non-consolidated results.
