Operating revenue is expected to outperform due to the number of new Wakuwaku Hiroba store openings exceeding the initial plan and renovations of existing stores. On the other hand, operating profit is expected to underperform due to higher costs associated with strengthening the growth platform, including renovations, the construction of a new distribution centre and the introduction of vegetable packaging machines, as well as increases in personnel expenses and other costs.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The number of new Wakuwaku Hiroba store openings is expected to exceed the plan, and operating revenue is expected to outperform as the company proceeds with renovations of existing stores. On the other hand, operating profit is expected to underperform because costs associated with strengthening the growth platform, including renovations of existing stores, the construction of a new distribution centre and the introduction of vegetable packaging machines, as well as personnel expenses and other costs, exceeded assumptions. Net income is also expected to underperform due to the recognition of ¥215 million in extraordinary losses, which the company attributes mainly to upfront investment and temporary expenses.
