Revenue was 6,651 million yen and operating income was 155 million yen, both higher than the prior year. Cost control measures (discontinuation of low-margin products, price adjustments, etc.) were continued to offset rising raw material and labor costs. The U.S. segment achieved higher sales and profit\u2014revenue of 2,178 million yen and operating income of 396 million yen\u2014through new contract wins and improvements in production capacity. Overall, despite currency effects and cost pressures, management intends to steadily implement profit improvement measures into the second half.\n\n### Outlook and Impact for Investors\nAssuming a scenario of continued currency fluctuation and rising raw material prices, the company will continue various profit improvement initiatives. Both Japan and the U.S. will pursue new customer acquisition, new product launches, and reinforcement of production systems to strengthen the earnings base and improve margins. While external uncertainty remains, current results exceed the prior year, and contributions to performance in the second half are anticipated.","jir_financial_highlights":"Revenue (Japan segment): 6,651 million yen (Year-over-Year (YoY) +5.1%)\nOperating Income (Japan segment): 155 million yen (Year-over-Year (YoY) +24.3%)\nRevenue (U.S. segment): 2,178 million yen (Year-over-Year (YoY) +19.4%)\nOperating Income (U.S. segment): 396 million yen (Year-over-Year (YoY) +11.2%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#JapanEquities, #Earnings, #PerformanceTrend","jir_key_figures":"Revenue Japan segment: 6,651 million yen\nOperating Income Japan segment: 155 million yen\nRevenue U.S. segment: 2,178 million yen\nOperating Income U.S. segment: 396 million yen","jir_meta_title":"Wakou Shokuhin Co., Ltd.
