Briefing Materials on Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending February 2027

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending February 2027, revenue increased as the core ice cream business and other operations grew. However, higher labor and electricity costs associated with the operation of the Toyama Plant, together with higher inventory-related expenses, caused operating results to swing from a profit to an operating loss. The full-year forecast and targets under the medium-term management plan have been presented, along with initiatives to expand the product lineup and sales channels using the Toyama Plant.

These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue benefited from strong sales of the company's own shaved-ice cup product in the core ice cream business, as well as the strengthened production system resulting from the operation of the Toyama Plant. Factors affecting earnings included a higher cost ratio due to increased labor, electricity and other costs associated with the Toyama Plant's full-scale operation; higher transportation and warehousing expenses due to increased product inventories; and a ¥30 million loss on the disposal of fixed assets resulting from the removal of existing equipment.
