Risks

• Cost pressure from continued price increases, rising logistics costs, and higher labor costs
• Downside economic risk from unstable international conditions and geopolitical risks, including U.S. tariff policy
• Risk that intensifying tensions in the Middle East and surging energy prices could suppress consumer spending
• Financial leverage risk associated with long-term borrowings of ¥10,800 million (though down ¥240 million year on year)
• Risk that increased expenses associated with human capital investment could pressure profit margins
• Risk of fluctuations in demand for weddings and banquets (sustainability of booking volumes and unit prices)
