Revised Earnings Forecast for 2026 | Net Sales: ¥3,554.2 billion (YoY -1.8%)

Overview of Financial Results

Ichijo Kamaboko revised its full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending June 2026, expecting net sales of ¥3,554.2 billion (a decrease of ¥65.7 billion from the previous forecast), operating income of ¥611 million (down ¥488 million), and net income of ¥326 million (down ¥423 million). While price adjustments and steady product sales supported the results, higher raw material costs and consumer cautiousness caused actual results to fall below plan. Additionally, impairments of goodwill and bad debt allowances impacted earnings.

Future Outlook and Impact on Shareholders

Due to decreased sales and profit forecasts, improving profitability moving forward will require rigorous cost management and business restructuring. The recording of extraordinary losses is expected to significantly reduce net income, potentially affecting shareholder returns and dividend policies. Management is focused on cost reduction and operational efficiency to achieve a swift recovery in financial results.
