Fiscal Year Ending December 2026, 3rd Quarter Financial Summary [IFRS] (Consolidated)

Performance Overview

For the cumulative third quarter period, revenue amounted to 226,666 million yen, a 4.8% increase year-over-year. Conversely, segment profit was 14,806 million yen (-14.5%), operating income was 15,594 million yen (-11.2%), and quarterly profit attributable to owners of parent was 8,548 million yen (-20.0%), all declining. Domestic processed food shipments declined due to price revisions and advertising expenses increased. In the international segment, consolidation of Silbury Marketing Ltd as a subsidiary led to a net increase in revenue. However, profit was compressed due to rising costs of goods sold and other factors.

Outlook and Key Points

The full-year forecast is maintained (revenue 310,000 million yen, segment profit 19,000 million yen, operating income 19,500 million yen, profit for the period 10,500 million yen, earnings per share 116.04 yen), but we will monitor risks to future performance such as cost increases driven by deterioration in the Middle East situation. The consolidation of Silbury contributes to international business expansion, while manufacturing cost increases may continue. Supplementary materials to the financial results are scheduled for review by PwC Japan.
