FY2020 Q1 Consolidated Financial Highlights

Revenue decreased on lower sales volume for the Industrial Chocolate business and the Emulsified and Fermented Ingredients business due to the impact of the novel coronavirus. Operating profit increased despite decreased income from the Emulsified and Fermented Ingredients business thanks to Blommer futures valuation gains and firm sales from the Soy-based Ingredients business.

FY2020 1st quarter Segment Highlights

Vegetable Oils and Fats

Revenue decreased as a result of lower sales volume in Southeast Asia and Europe due to the impact of the novel coronavirus. Profit decreased on lower sales in Europe despite sales of high-value added products in Southeast Asia and Japan.

Industrial Chocolate

Revenue decreased as a result of lower sales volume in Japan and Brazil due to the impact of the novel coronavirus. Profit increased despite decreased revenue thanks to Blommer futures valuation gains and firm sales.

Emulsified and Fermented Ingredients

Revenue and profit both decreased due to lower sales volume for cream and margarine in Japan, poor performance by the Preparations business in Southeast Asia, and lower sales volume for margarine and filling in China.

Soy-based Ingredients

Revenue decreased due to impact of selling our Chinese subsidiary during the previous fiscal year. However, profit increased on firm sales of soy protein ingredients and functional agents in Japan.
