Nihon Access’s consolidated results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 showed sales of ¥1.255772 trillion, down 1.0% year on year, operating income of ¥15.171 billion, down 17.1%, ordinary income of ¥15.762 billion, down 17.5%, and interim net income of ¥11.1 billion, down 17.3%, resulting in lower sales and earnings.
Factors behind the decline in sales included the unfavorable comparison with the previous year’s exceptionally hot summer and unseasonable weather in August and September, which weighed on summer merchandise such as beverages and ice cream.
The company also cited the impact of the capital restructuring of Dolce, formerly a subsidiary, higher logistics and labor costs, and the development of logistics centers under its ninth medium-term management plan.
