Materials for the Second Quarter Financial Results Briefing for the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue and operating profit exceeded the year-earlier levels in both the Japan and US segments. Sales to the foodservice industry, new business, price revisions and the discontinuation of low-margin products contributed, while higher raw material and personnel costs and uncertainty in the market environment continued.

The reasons the company gives

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

In Japan, sales to the foodservice and prepared-food sectors were strong, while the effects of higher revenue and profitability improvement measures, including the discontinuation of low-margin products and price revisions, contributed. In the US, contributions came from the expansion of major chains, winning business with new chain restaurants, and developing new demand from sushi restaurants, izakaya and other formats.
