Net sales increased significantly. Sales of chocolate for ice cream decreased in Japan. Overseas, the consolidation of Blommer in the US contributed. Income decreased on lower revenues in Japan. Overseas, sales were down in Brazil due to demand normalization after especially favorable sales during the same period of the previous fiscal year.
