■Create Restaurants Holdings <3387> Medium- to Long-Term Initiatives

In the medium-term management plan announced in April 2022, Create Restaurants Holdings has laid out three growth strategies for the new growth stage. They have been progressing through a 3-year roadmap, with the fiscal year ending in February 2023 called 'HOP', 2024 'STEP', and 2025 'JUMP'. The company is focusing on (1) reviewing the portfolio with a focus on post-coronavirus, (2) further evolving the group's federal management, and (3) dedicating efforts to improving productivity through DX promotion and addressing manpower shortages. The final year, 2025, as the 25th anniversary of the founding sees efforts on the finishing touches for a leap year, planning for the next medium-term management plan (starting in February 2026) and strategic formulation for anticipated environmental changes (scheduled for April 2025).
