Outlook and Financial Soundness

The financial position remains stable with total assets of 9,706,145 thousand yen, an equity ratio of 68.4%, and net assets of 6,641,125 thousand yen. Although there has been a decline in cash and deposits leading to a reduction in current assets, retained earnings and dividend implementation have strengthened equity. Going forward, focus will be on growth initiatives in the Autobacs business, improving profitability in the foodservice business, and implementing pricing strategies and cost control to address rising raw material and labor costs.
