Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Net sales were affected by structural reforms in the seafood and livestock businesses, but the core processed foods and temperature-controlled logistics businesses grew both in Japan and overseas. Operating income declined in the processed foods business due to the impact of rising costs, but increased as a result of the steady performance of the temperature-controlled logistics business and the impact of changes to the depreciation method, among other factors.
