Although net sales are expected to exceed the prior year, earnings are expected to worsen. In the second quarter, the company expects increased net sales through continued expansion of core product sales, but does not expect improvement in operating results. For the full year, the company forecasts net sales of 30,600 hundred million yen, operating income of 300 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent of 1,150 million yen, with net income revised downward by -200 million yen from the prior forecast.\n\n### Future Policy and Impact\nThe company positions the third quarter as a season of higher demand and will continue promotions and strengthening sales of core products. It will promote price revisions, production efficiency improvements, and cost reductions to improve profitability. Based on dividend income received, the company has revised its full-year forecast.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales (2Q): 14,880 (Change vs. prior forecast: 380)\nOperating Income (Loss) (2Q): -260 (Change vs. prior forecast: -310)\nOrdinary Income (2Q): 1,100 (Change vs. prior forecast: -400)\nInterim Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (2Q): 770 (Change vs. prior forecast: -230)\nInterim Net Income per Share: 75 yen 72 sen (Decrease vs. prior forecast)\nNet Sales (Full Year): 30,600 (Same as prior forecast (no variance))\nOperating Income (Full Year): 300 (Same as prior forecast (no variance))\nOrdinary Income (Full Year): 1,700 (After forecast revision)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Full Year): 1,150 (Revised by -200 vs. prior forecast)\nNet Income per Share (Full Year): 113 yen 09 sen (Decrease of -10.5\u201311.5% vs. prior forecast)\nPrior Year Results Net Sales: 28,848 (Year-over-Year)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#IwatsukaConfectionery, #RevisionToEarningsGuidance, #EarningsPresentationConcerns","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales 2Q: 14,880 hundred million yen\nOperating Result 2Q: -260 million yen\nInterim Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent 2Q: 770 million yen","jir_meta_title":"Iwatsuka Confectionery Co., Ltd. \u2014 Revision to Earnings Guidance | Impact from 2Q to Full Year, Net Income Revised to 1,150 million yen","jir_meta_description":"Iwatsuka Confectionery has revised its earnings guidance. 2Q net sales 14,880 hundred million yen, operating loss -260 million yen, interim net income 770 million yen.
