Overview of Performance
During this interim period, sales in the core ice cream business increased; however, cost burdens rose due to higher energy costs, labor expenses, and packaging material prices, causing operating income, ordinary income, and interim net income to fall below the previously announced forecasts. Although sales exceeded expectations, increased inventory storage and transportation costs also had an impact. The full-year forecast has been maintained, and the company is reviewing sales and production plans and cost outlooks for the second half.
Outlook and Key Considerations
While the full-year outlook is currently unchanged, revisions may be necessary depending on movements in raw material and packaging material prices. Cost containment measures and adjustments to production plans aimed at improving second-half profitability will be key. As factors behind the variance, sales growth of frozen confectionery products was constrained by weather, although growth in OEM products and shaved-ice cups supported overall sales.
