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.\n\n### Outlook and Impact\nThe 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.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 144,886 million yen (YoY +5.4%)\nOperating Income: 4,214 million yen (YoY -12.4%)\nOrdinary Income: 3,873 million yen (YoY -21.1%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 2,776 million yen (YoY -22.0%)\nQuarterly Net Income per Share: 277.73 yen (Equivalent to YoY -22.0%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#LactoJapan, #Earnings, #BySegment, #AsiaBusiness","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales 144,886 million yen (YoY +5.4%)\nOperating Income 4,214 million yen (YoY -12.4%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent 2,776 million yen (YoY -22.0%)","jir_meta_title":"Lacto Japan Co., Ltd. \u2014 Third Quarter Financial Summary for Fiscal Year Ending November 2026 | Net Sales 144,886 million yen (YoY +5.4%)","jir_meta_description":"Financial summary for Lacto Japan Co., Ltd. for the third quarter of fiscal year ending November 2026.
