Consolidated Financial Guidance for FY2021
Due to rising sales prices reflecting increases in palm oil and other major raw materials, net sales are projected to exceed previously announced earnings forecasts by 30,000 million yen. As such, the company has decided to revise its full-year earnings forecast for net sales. Furthermore, in light of current pricing for major raw materials and other factors, no change is being made to previously announced earnings forecasts for each profit category.
