The company maintained its revenue forecast at JPY 505.0bn while raising adjusted EBITDA to JPY 71.0bn from JPY 67.5bn, a 5.2% increase. Operating profit (eigyo rieki) was lifted to JPY 50.5bn from JPY 48.5bn, and net profit attributable to parent company shareholders rose to JPY 31.5bn from JPY 30.0bn. The upward revision reflects third-quarter consolidated results that exceeded internal projections, particularly driven by international business momentum. The company also reflected the impact of its stock transfer agreement for Kyotaru Co., Ltd. in the revised guidance.
The revision signals improving operational efficiency and margin expansion despite flat revenue, suggesting Food & Life Companies is successfully driving profitability gains through cost management and geographic diversification. The 5.0% increase in earnings per share to JPY 138.73/share underscores the earnings accretion from the revised profit outlook. Investors should note that revenue guidance remains unchanged, indicating the profit uplift stems from operational leverage and one-time gains rather than top-line acceleration.
