However, with continued upward pressure on costs such as soaring raw material prices and higher labor and logistics expenses that could not be fully passed on to selling prices, operating income declined substantially. By segment, processed foods recorded almost flat sales but profit was squeezed, and the meat segment posted sales growth but profits fell due to inventory valuation and higher costs. The company has disclosed revisions to its full-year earnings forecast.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Outlook\nRegarding shareholder returns, dividends are forecast at 40 yen at the end of the second quarter and 80 yen for the full year. The financial position showed a decline in the equity ratio to 58.5% from the end of the previous fiscal year. No additional capital policy measures are noted beyond what is stated in this document; future actions may change depending on market conditions. Future performance will largely depend on trends in raw material prices, supply-demand conditions, and the progress of price pass-through.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 121,788 (YoY +1.2%)\nOperating Income: 1,490 (YoY -64.6%)\nOrdinary Income: 1,723 (YoY -61.2%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 1,539 (YoY -51.8%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#MarudaiFood\/FinancialResults, #InterimResults, #SegmentSales, #DividendPolicy","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 121,788 million yen (YoY +1.2%)\nOperating Income: 1,490 million yen (YoY -64.6%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 1,539 million yen (YoY -51.8%)","jir_meta_title":"Marudai Food Co., Ltd. - Financial Summary for Six Months Ended March 2027 | Net Sales 121,788 million yen; Sales Up but Profits Down","jir_meta_description":"Summary of Marudai Food Co., Ltd.'s financial results for the six months ended March 2027: net sales rose slightly, while operating, ordinary and net income declined sharply due to higher raw material and operating costs.
