The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue increased on growth in meatballs and shelf-stable prepared foods, as well as the capture of demand for boxed meals and other take-home prepared foods. On the profit side, higher raw material and packaging material costs resulting from the situation in the Middle East and the weaker yen, higher personnel costs following base-pay increases, and increased investment burdens for strengthening the logistics, IT and human-resource infrastructure were factors weighing on earnings.
