Revised forecast
Fiscal year ending March 2027 · Second quarter (interim period)Previous forecast published 11 May 2026The bar length represents the relative magnitude of change, based on the item that changed the most in this document. The percentage change shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the rate.
While foodservice sauces performed well, net sales are expected to slightly exceed the initial forecast due to delays in the rollout of products in the hot pot soup market resulting from the prolonged late-summer heat, among other factors. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to come in below plan due to efforts to reduce expenses, among other factors, and operating profit, ordinary profit and interim net income are expected to exceed the previous forecasts. The full-year forecasts were left unchanged because uncertainty over the outlook remains, including the impact of higher raw material prices, surging fuel costs, more frugal consumer behavior due to elevated prices, and winter weather conditions and higher vegetable prices.
