Items this document does not state (9)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Strong sales of steamed buns and food products for commercial use, a focus on eliminating unprofitable products, improved production efficiency through more consistent factory utilization, and price revisions for core products boosted profit and absorbed ¥550 million in one-off costs. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company expects profit growth to be driven by the expansion of new products and businesses and the absence of one-off depreciation expenses, while factoring in higher raw material prices and selling-related expenses.
