In the first half of fiscal 2015, system-wide sales decreased by 65.7 billion yen from the previous year to 172 billion yen. This was due to the impact of a continuously challenging business environment due large part to the prolonged impact of food-related issues. Ordinary loss was 19.5 billion yen, reflecting the sales decline and 9.3 billion yen non-recurring costs for investments associated with the Business Revitalization Plan (*1). Overall, we recorded a net loss of 26.2 billion yen, including a 6.7 billion yen special loss comprised of impairment loss and strategic closure-related expenses.
Although we posted a significant loss for the first half of the year due to one-time investment costs and expenses, our earnings are developing broadly in line with our forecast announced on April 16. Our business is trending upward and we expect to see a further improvement in sales and profit in the 2nd half.
Going forward, we continue to focus on activities related to food safety and quality. In addition, we aim to accelerate the pace of business recovery and lay the foundation for future growth through the flawless execution of our Four-pillar Business Revitalization Plan: gCustomer Focused Initiativesh, gAccelerate Restaurant Revitalizationh, gLocalize Our Business Structureh and gImprove Cost and Resource Efficiencyh. Through a variety of customer and community focused activities, we aim to provide customers with a restaurant experience exceeding their expectations, which we believe will enable us to grow the business again in the 2nd half and beyond.
