Financial Results Presentation for the Fiscal Year Ending May 2026

For the fiscal year ended May 2026, revenue, operating profit and ordinary profit reached record highs, driven by higher sales across all businesses and an improved cost ratio. Net income declined, however, due to an extraordinary loss associated with a review of the pharmaceutical business plan. The Company withdrew from the health food business and expects lower revenue and profits for the fiscal year ending May 2027, while extending and updating its medium-term management plan through the fiscal year ending May 2031.
