Semi-Annual Report — FY2026 H1

During the current interim consolidated accounting period, revenue, operating profit and ordinary profit declined year on year, while interim net income attributable to owners of the parent increased, partly due to the recognition of a gain on the transition of the retirement benefit plan. The Company also continued to strengthen its sales capabilities, including expanding EDLP, emphasizing local flavors and local production for local consumption, and offering original in-house products, as well as reforming the cost structure through efficiency improvements using automated ordering systems and electronic shelf labels, while expanding renovations and the mobile supermarket business.
