Interim profit declined slightly year over year, but growth strategies by segment are being advanced. The company plans to accelerate growth in the pet care segment through a business combination including the acquisition of Nutrire\u2019s Brazil operations.\n\n### Outlook and Capital Policy\nFull-year earnings guidance has been revised. Assuming higher costs from the Middle East, logistics, and raw materials, the company will pursue value pass-through and productivity improvements across the group, with an appropriate exchange rate assumption. A year-end dividend of 11 yen is expected to increase, bringing the total annual dividend to 22 yen. The Nutrire acquisition is not expected to have a large consolidated impact at the start of the year, but the company aims to expand in the Latin American market.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net sales: 487,133\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY 4.9% increase)\nCore operating profit: 65,032\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY 14.1% increase)\nInterim profit: 48,829\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY 4.6% increase)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent: 41,031\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (YoY 1.9% decrease)\nSegment net sales (Personal Care\/Pet care\/Other): 487,133\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (Breakdown reference)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Unicharm, #financial_summary, #JapanEquities","jir_key_figures":"Net sales: 487,133\u767e\u4e07\u5186\uff08YoY +4.9%)\nCore operating profit: 65,032\u767e\u4e07\u5186\uff08YoY +14.1%)\nInterim profit: 48,829\u767e\u4e07\u5186\uff08YoY +4.6%)\nEnding number of treasury shares: 141,702,640 shares (Interim for the year ending December 2026)\nAcquisition consideration: 22,583\u767e\u4e07\u5186 (cash) \u203b provisional\nFair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities: Current assets 3,631\u767e\u4e07\u5186, Non-current assets 4,519\u767e\u4e07\u5186, Current liabilities 2,027\u767e\u4e07\u5186, Non-current liabilities 2,785\u767e\u4e07\u5186\nPayment of acquisition consideration: \u25b322,583\u767e\u4e07\u5186","jir_meta_title":"Unicharm: FY ending December 2026 Q2 Financial Results \u2014 Net sales 487,133 million yen, core segment strength","jir_meta_description":"Key points from Unicharm's Q2 FY ending December 2026.
