Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. Revises FY2026 Earnings — Revenue Up, Profit Down
Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. (TSE:2206), Japan’s major confectionery and food manufacturer, has revised its full-year earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 2026, raising revenue guidance while cutting profit expectations across all metrics.
| Item | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | JPY 380.0bn | JPY 390.0bn | +2.6% |
| Operating Profit | JPY 14.0bn | JPY 12.0bn | -14.3% |
| Ordinary Income | JPY 17.0bn | JPY 14.0bn | -17.6% |
| 親会社株主に帰属する当期純利益 | JPY 10.0bn | JPY 9.00bn | -10.0% |
| １株当たり当期純利益 | JPY 157M | JPY 144M | -8.6% |
The company attributed the mixed revision to strong performance in its overseas business during the first half, which drove the JPY 10.0bn revenue increase. However, this gain was offset by delayed profit improvements in domestic operations and postponed new product launches. Ordinary income (keijo rieki), a Japan-specific metric combining operating profit with non-operating income and expenses, fell JPY 3.0bn to JPY 14.0bn, reflecting the broader profitability headwinds.
For international investors, the revision signals execution challenges in the domestic market despite overseas momentum. The downward revision across operating profit, ordinary income, and net profit suggests margin compression rather than volume weakness. Notably, the company maintained its dividend guidance unchanged, indicating management confidence in cash generation despite near-term earnings pressure. The delayed new product rollout warrants monitoring for potential FY2027 recovery catalysts.
