Supplementary Explanatory Materials for the Second Quarter Results for the Fiscal Year Ending November 2026

For the six months ended the second quarter of the fiscal year ending November 2026, revenue and profit increased, driven by growth in domestic sales of rice cookers, humidifiers and other products, as well as progress in passing on higher prices. The full-year forecasts, including profit forecasts, were left unchanged, with cost increases from higher raw material prices and the weaker yen factored in conservatively.

The reasons the company gives

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

In Japan, sales of products including the “炎舞炊き” rice cooker series and humidifiers remained firm, and progress was made in passing on higher import costs through pricing. The increase in revenue and improvement in the gross profit margin more than offset higher SG&A expenses and the impact of foreign exchange, resulting in higher operating profit. Although results to date have exceeded expectations, the full-year forecasts were left unchanged after conservatively taking into account soaring naphtha and raw material prices due to the situation in the Middle East, as well as cost increases caused by the weaker yen.
