Net sales rose to 40.6 billion yen (up 18% YoY). Increases in logistics and labor costs were offset by cost reduction measures, resulting in operating income of 4.6 billion yen (up 10% YoY). EBITDA also increased to 6.2 billion yen (up 12% YoY), maintaining profit growth.\n\n### Revision of Earnings Guidance and Future Outlook\nBased on Q3 performance progress and Q4 outlook, the full-year earnings guidance has been revised downward. Key factors include deterioration in logistics efficiency (including e-commerce) and rising raw tea leaf costs. The company plans to address logistics inefficiencies by reviewing warehouse operations and establishing multiple bases, while tackling raw material cost increases through price revisions and utilizing overseas tea leaves. The medium- to long-term market outlook remains unchanged, and the company continues to deepen initiatives under the 'Max Production, Max Sales' strategy.","jir_financial_highlights":"Production Volume: 63 million cases (YoY +13%)\nNet Sales: 40.6 billion yen (YoY +18%)\nOperating Income: 4.6 billion yen (YoY +10%)\nEBITDA: 6.2 billion yen (YoY +12%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 3.0 billion yen (YoY +7%)\nFull-Year Sales Forecast: 52.2 billion yen (vs. Previous Forecast +0.2 billion yen)\nFull-Year Operating Income Forecast: 5.22 billion yen (vs. Previous Forecast -1.28 billion yen)\nFull-Year Net Income Forecast: 3.47 billion yen (vs. Previous Forecast -0.98 billion yen)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#LifeDrinkCompany, #EarningsSupplement, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Production Volume: 63 million cases (YoY +13%)\nNet Sales: 40.6 billion yen (YoY +18%)\nOperating Income: 4.6 billion yen (YoY +10%)\nEBITDA: 6.2 billion yen (YoY +12%)\nFull-Year Operating Income Forecast: 5.22 billion yen (vs. Previous Forecast -1.28 billion yen)\nFull-Year Net Income Forecast: 3.47 billion yen (vs. Previous Forecast -0.98 billion yen)","jir_meta_title":"Life Drink Q3 Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 Earnings Supplement: Sales 40.6 Billion Yen, Operating Income 4.6 Billion Yen","jir_meta_description":"Life Drink's supplementary material for Q3 FY2026 results.
