Second Half Fiscal Year 2027 Interim Financial Summary Supplementary Explanation

Overview of results

Consolidated net sales were 16,355 million yen, operating income 50 million yen, ordinary income 136 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent 59 million yen. While sales rose about 1% year over year, profits were pressured by higher raw material costs, increased depreciation from the new Funabashi Factory, and higher logistics costs. Overseas factors such as Lunar New Year sales recognition also contributed. On the other hand, price adjustments for certain products and cost-reduction measures continue.

Outlook and cautions

There is no major change to the full-year earnings forecast, but a rise in naphtha-derived raw materials is expected to affect results. In the second half, plans to secure sales while continuing cost-reduction measures. Depending on market conditions, revisions may be necessary. By segment, attention should be paid to the composition of dried confectionery, Western-style confectionery, and other confectionery.
