Imuraya Group raises Q2 interim consolidated earnings forecast

Imuraya Group has revised its consolidated financial forecast for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 (April 1, 2025 – September 30, 2025). The company now expects net sales of JPY 26,237m, up from JPY 25,200m. Operating profit is projected to reach JPY 1,972m, a substantial increase from JPY 1,500m, while ordinary profit is forecast at JPY 2,041m, up from JPY 1,550m. Net income attributable to parent company shareholders is revised to JPY 1,452m, an increase from JPY 1,100m, resulting in JPY 113.49 per share, up from JPY 85.96.

This upward revision is attributed to strong sales of flagship products like the "Azuki Bar" series and long-lasting "Eiyo-kan" and "Choco Eiyo-kan" in the confectionery category. New products in the dim sum and delicatessen categories also contributed positively. Despite rising raw material and logistics costs, the company implemented price revisions and production efficiency improvements to secure profits.

However, the full-year consolidated earnings forecast remains unchanged due to lingering uncertainties surrounding raw material prices, logistics costs, and consumer trends. The company will promptly announce any further revisions if future developments necessitate them.
