Reason for the revision

For the consolidated results, sales in the ham and sausage division were sluggish, but sales of desserts in the processed foods business and sales in the meat business exceeded expectations and remained firm. For the individual results, the revision reflects price revisions, the effects of ongoing cost reductions, and the recognition of gains on the sale of investment securities and other items.

The reasons the company gives

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

Consolidated net sales are expected to slightly exceed the previous forecast because sales of desserts in the processed foods business and sales in the meat business exceeded expectations, despite sluggish performance in the ham and sausage division. Accordingly, each profit forecast has also been revised upward. For the individual results, operating income and ordinary income increased as a result of price revisions and ongoing cost reductions, while net income also benefited from the recognition of gains on the sale of investment securities and other items. The dividend was increased based on the policy of raising dividends in line with earnings growth and the revision to the full-year earnings forecasts.
