Yutaka Foods Corporation Financial Summary for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 (Interim) [Japanese GAAP] (Non-consolidated)

Business Performance Overview

Net sales for the second quarter amounted to 8,313 million yen (YoY increase of 14.1%), achieving revenue growth. However, the company recorded an operating loss of 67 million yen, ordinary income of 24 million yen, and interim net income of 45 million yen, reflecting a significant decline in profitability. By segment, the liquid and powder divisions performed steadily, but the chilled food division incurred segment losses due to increased depreciation expense associated with the start-up of a new factory. Full-year forecasts have been revised to net sales of 15,957 million yen, operating income of -304 million yen, and net income of -160 million yen. Rising raw material prices and forex effects are weighing on profits.

Outlook and Impact on Shareholders

The interim earnings forecast revision reflects higher raw material costs and the impact of a weaker yen; the company will aim to improve results through further cost reductions and price adjustments. A full-year deficit is still expected, and although cash flow remains stable, prolonged high raw material costs will make it difficult to restore profitability.
