Overview of Results
Net sales for the third quarter amounted to 144,886 million yen, an increase compared with the prior year, while operating income, ordinary income, and net income decreased year-on-year. Increases in raw material and labor costs continued to be passed through only partially, and timing shifts in expense recognition occurred due to delays in the completion of the new Singapore plant, resulting in profit performance falling short of initial forecasts. By segment, dairy raw materials and cheese, meat ingredients, and life sciences contributed to revenue, but overall profit was constrained.
Outlook and Impact
The full-year outlook remains unchanged, with projected net sales of 193,000 million yen, ordinary income of 4,800 million yen, and net income of 3,450 million yen. Supplementary explanatory materials for the third-quarter results have been published, and the company will continue to monitor market trends, raw material price movements, and foreign exchange rates. While each segment has room for growth, cost pressure may persist, making efficient cost management and pricing strategy key factors.
