However, profitability was heavily impacted by rising raw material and energy prices, along with increased competition, resulting in significant shortfalls in operating profit, ordinary income, and net income attributable to owners of the parent. Despite efforts to reduce logistics costs, profit margins declined.\n\n### Reasons for Discrepancies and Future Outlook\nWhile sales remained robust, rising costs and intensified competition caused profits to fall short of projections. Going forward, the company aims to strengthen cost management and sales strategies, while monitoring raw material and energy prices closely to improve performance.","jir_financial_highlights":"Sales Revenue: 175,272 million yen (YoY +1.2%)\nOperating Profit: 1,636 million yen (YoY -39.3%)\nOrdinary Income: 1,488 million yen (YoY -46.1%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 223 million yen (YoY -82.2%)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Nafco, #FinancialResults, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Sales Revenue: 175,272 million yen (YoY +1.2%)\nOperating Profit: 1,636 million yen (YoY -39.3%)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 223 million yen (YoY -82.2%)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Nafco\u30112026 Year-End Results Discrepancy\uff5cSales Increase but Profits Drop Significantly","jir_meta_description":"Nafco's 2026 year-end financial results saw sales surpass expectations, but profits fell sharply due to rising raw material costs and intensified competition.
