The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.DTB business sales increased on the strength of sales to the domestic foodservice industry, supported by inbound demand, and the contribution from 三協食鳥, which joined the Group in the previous fiscal year. In the C&C business, sales to small and medium-sized restaurants remained firm, while sales to general customers were soft. FSL business sales declined because fewer construction-related companies completed projects during the month and sales of commercial cooking equipment were weak.
