The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, higher selling prices for Australian beef and domestically produced chicken, higher market prices for domestically produced chicken, increased demand for Australian beef, inventory controls for imported meat, price pass-through, and events held at the ballpark contributed to higher revenue and profit. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, top-line growth is expected in the processed foods business, while higher procurement prices for Australian beef in the meat business, cost increases resulting from the situation in the Middle East, and costs related to the opening of a new station for the sports and entertainment business are also anticipated.
