Arclands Corporation Revises Consolidated Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending February 28, 2026 Arclands Corporation revised consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026. For the year, the company expects net sales of JPY 342,500 million, operating profit of JPY 14,500 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 8,000 million, basic earnings per share of JPY 127.98 per share against previous guidance of net sales of JPY 335,000 million, operating profit of JPY 19,300 million, profit attributable to owners of parent of JPY 11,600 million, basic earnings per share of JPY 186.19 per share. Housing-related (retail, wholesale, and real estate) financial results for the nine months ended November 30, 2025 were positively affected by the front-loaded consolidation of Pets First Holdings Co. Ltd. and the opening of new Lopia (franchise) stores in the retail business. The food service business also performed well thanks to fair menus and campaigns in addition to opening of new restaurants. As a result, consolidated net sales are expected to exceed the forecast. Meanwhile, on the profit front, despite efforts to reduce expenses through the digitization of sales promotions and streamlining of logistics in the housing-related sector, these efforts were not sufficient to absorb the impact of upward pressure on costs, such as new store opening costs, personnel expenses, utilities expenses, and rents. In the food service business as well, the gross profit margin declined due to a higher-than-expected cost of sales ratio mainly caused by higher rice prices, resulting in sluggish growth in consolidated operating profit, ordinary profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent. Since the above trend is expected to continue in the third quarter and beyond, and financial results are expected to be lower than the previous forecasts, the Company has revised the forecast value for each item as shown above.
