The 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.

Reason for the revision

Revenue was revised downward because sales of gelatin for the domestic market and collagen peptide exports, among others, are expected to fall short of the initial assumptions. The forecasts for operating profit and ordinary profit were unchanged due to improved profitability and lower system-related costs, among other factors. Profit attributable to owners of the parent was revised downward because an impairment loss on fixed assets associated with the cancellation of development of the new system was recorded as an extraordinary loss, among other factors.

Details and amount of extraordinary loss

Impairment loss on fixed assets: ¥1.5 billion (both consolidated and non-consolidated financial statements)

The reasons the company gives

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

Sales of gelatin for the domestic market and collagen peptide exports, among others, are expected to fall short of assumptions, resulting in a downward revision to the revenue forecast. The forecasts for operating profit and ordinary profit were unchanged due to improved profitability, lower expenses and a decrease in system-related costs. Profit attributable to owners of the parent was revised downward due to a ¥1.5 billion impairment loss on fixed assets associated with the cancellation of development of the new core system and other factors.
