The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the fiscal year ended March 2026, revenue increased because the core biscuit segment performed well, sales volumes increased and price revisions took effect. Ordinary income and net income increased mainly due to the recognition of foreign exchange gains and other factors. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, raw material prices are expected to remain elevated and packaging material costs are expected to continue rising alongside higher crude oil prices. The company expects that improved profitability from price revisions and capital investment will not fully offset the increase in the cost of sales.
