Performance Overview
For the cumulative Q3 period of the fiscal year ending March 2026, production volume increased to 63 million cases (up 13% YoY) driven by full-scale production at the Gotemba Factory and subsidiary N Beverage. Net sales rose to 40.6 billion yen (up 18% YoY). Increases in logistics and labor costs were offset by cost reduction measures, resulting in operating income of 4.6 billion yen (up 10% YoY). EBITDA also increased to 6.2 billion yen (up 12% YoY), maintaining profit growth.
Revision of Earnings Guidance and Future Outlook
Based on Q3 performance progress and Q4 outlook, the full-year earnings guidance has been revised downward. Key factors include deterioration in logistics efficiency (including e-commerce) and rising raw tea leaf costs. The company plans to address logistics inefficiencies by reviewing warehouse operations and establishing multiple bases, while tackling raw material cost increases through price revisions and utilizing overseas tea leaves. The medium- to long-term market outlook remains unchanged, and the company continues to deepen initiatives under the 'Max Production, Max Sales' strategy.
