Imuraya Group Co., Ltd. Financial Summary for the Second Quarter (Interim) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

Overview of Results

For the second quarter of this fiscal year, net sales increased slightly to 26,441 million yen (0.8% year-over-year). However, operating income declined significantly to 1,281 million yen due to higher raw material costs and increased depreciation expenses, with ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of parent also falling below the prior-year period. By segment, steady performance in the distribution business and growth in deli and seasonings contributed positively, while domestic weakness in frozen confectionery weighed on results. The company aims to restore profitability in the second half through the effects of newly installed equipment.

Outlook and Capital Position

Full-year forecasts remain unchanged from the time of announcement. Nonetheless, upward pressure on raw material and logistics costs and uncertainty in consumer demand persist. The company expects increased sales of dim sum and deli products in the second half and anticipates a recovery in performance. Although total assets have increased, the equity ratio has declined; therefore, cost reductions and maximizing investment effectiveness are key priorities.
