Gourmet Kineya Misses Profit Forecast as Cost Pressures Mount

GOURMET KINEYA CO., LTD. ( (JP:9850) ) has shared an announcement.

Gourmet Kineya Co., Ltd., a Japan-based food service operator listed on the TSE Prime Market, derives its earnings from restaurant and related operations and from its non-consolidated parent entity. The company’s performance is influenced by raw material prices, utility and labor costs, and the profitability and dividend policies of its subsidiaries.

The company reported that consolidated operating, ordinary and net profits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 fell well short of its earlier forecast, despite net sales coming in broadly in line with guidance. Management attributed the shortfall to higher-than-expected cost pressures, including sharp increases in rice and other raw materials, utilities, minimum wage-driven labor costs, and repair and maintenance expenses, while non-consolidated profit dropped year on year due to significant impairment losses despite a rise in ordinary profit from higher subsidiary dividends.
