Revised forecast
Second quarter (interim period) of the fiscal year ending February 2027 and the fiscal year ending February 2027 · Second quarter (interim period) and full yearPrevious forecast published 6 April 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document.
The main factor was the supermarket business. Consumers' inclination to economize strengthened more than expected, and measures to increase customer numbers and the number of items purchased had only a limited effect, causing same-store sales to fall below plan. Unstable procurement prices resulting from higher raw material costs and foreign exchange movements, as well as failure to meet the planned gross margin due to pricing policies, also contributed to the downside in profit. For the full year, the revision reflects a comprehensive consideration of the interim-period shortfall and other factors, including a 1.0% reduction in the planned same-store sales growth for the second half from the initial forecast.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The main factor was that, particularly in the supermarket business, consumers' inclination to economize strengthened more than expected as prices rose, limiting the effectiveness of measures intended to increase customer numbers and the number of items purchased. In addition to lower-than-expected same-store sales, the forecast was affected by unstable procurement prices resulting from higher raw material costs and foreign exchange movements, as well as failure to meet the planned gross margin.
