Details of Earnings Guidance Revision
Ajinomoto Co., Inc. has revised its full-year consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 2026, setting net sales at 1.6 trillion yen (down 18 billion yen from the previous forecast), operating income at 181 billion yen (up 1 billion yen), and net income attributable to owners of parent at 130 billion yen (up 10 billion yen). The decrease in net sales is mainly due to declines in the Seasonings & Foods segment (down 11.4 billion yen) and the Frozen Foods segment (down 9.5 billion yen), while the Healthcare and Others segment increased by 1.7 billion yen. Operating income benefited from profit increases in the Seasonings & Foods and Healthcare and Others segments, which offset profit declines in the Frozen Foods and Other segments.
Background and Future Outlook for the Revision
This revision reflects changes in economic conditions, sales trends, and raw material cost fluctuations. The increase in net income attributable to owners of parent includes gains on fixed asset sales scheduled to be recorded in the fourth quarter. The exchange rate assumption remains at 1 USD = 150 JPY. Going forward, the company intends to appropriately revise its earnings guidance in response to changes in the business environment.
