What drove the change

  • Processed foods grew in Japan as price increases took hold and chicken products for large business customers sold well
  • Seafood and meat sales shrank as the company deliberately cut low-margin products, so the Foods segment's revenue fell overall
  • Foods profit declined due to higher raw material costs, partly from the weak yen, and a stronger Thai baht hurting exports from Thailand
  • Logistics profit rose on stronger storage and delivery demand in Japan and a change in depreciation method, offsetting the drop in Foods
  • Net income was also lifted by one-off gains, including sales of investment securities

Things to watch

  • Prices of chicken, seafood and other inputs can swing sharply; if price increases and cost cuts fall short, earnings suffer
  • Sudden moves in the US dollar, Thai baht or euro could affect results
  • Higher oil prices raise electricity and fuel costs, and labor shortages in Japan put pressure on both food production and logistics
