Daiichi cuts FY net profit forecast 83.3% to ¥200 million on Chitose store impairment

Daiichi Co. (7643) on Sept. 25 cut its net profit forecast for the year ending September 2026 by 83.3% to ¥200 million from ¥1.2 billion, as it books a ¥1,326 million impairment loss on its Chitose store.

Impairment loss¥1,326 million
Revised net profit forecast¥200 million (from ¥1.2 billion)
Revised operating profit forecast¥1.56 billion (from ¥1.68 billion)
Revised EPS forecast¥17.80 (from ¥106.84)

The Chitose store opened in November 2024. Market expansion linked to the arrival of Rapidus and others has been slower than initially assumed, while competitors have been actively opening and renovating stores in Chitose City, the company said. Although the store's sales have posted double-digit growth this fiscal year, results including operating profit remain well below the original plan.

Daiichi said market growth can be expected once Rapidus begins full-scale operations, but a reasonable estimate is currently difficult, so it decided to record the impairment as an extraordinary loss under accounting standards. The loss is mainly an accounting write-down and has no direct impact on cash flow.

The company kept its sales forecast for the year ending Sept. 30, 2026, unchanged at ¥61.5 billion. It lowered its operating profit forecast to ¥1.56 billion from ¥1.68 billion and recurring profit to ¥1.53 billion from ¥1.63 billion, citing a worsening earnings environment as the deteriorating situation in the Middle East pushed prices higher and energy and petroleum-based material costs rose.
