Kyokuyo Co., Ltd. (1301) Financial Summary for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2027 (Interim)

Overview of Performance

Net sales for the interim period were 173,763 million yen, an increase compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. Operating income, ordinary income, and interim net income also exceeded the prior-year results, indicating solid profit growth. However, there were differences across segments such as marine products, fresh foods, food products, and logistics, and the impact of higher raw material costs and sales strategies continued. The full-year forecast remains unchanged from the previous announcement, and the outlook is maintained within the current parameters. Financial position shows an increase in total assets and a relatively stable capital adequacy ratio of 36.2%.

Segment and Financial Analysis

While sales increased in domestic and overseas marine product businesses, rising raw material prices and changes in cost structure compressed profit margins in some segments. It is necessary to closely monitor trends in the marine processing, fresh foods, food products, and logistics segments, as fluctuations in raw material prices are likely to affect future profit levels. The increase in total assets suggests buildup of facilities and inventories, while the capital adequacy ratio has remained comparatively stable.
