FY2022 1st quarter Consolidated Financial Highlights
Despite decreased net sales in the Soy-Based Ingredients Business on a decline in sales volume, consolidated net sales increased overall on higher net sales from Vegetable Oils and Fats Business and Industrial Chocolate Business due to higher sales prices resulting from rising raw material costs. Operating profit decreased on lower profitability due to higher raw material prices, higher expenses attributable to the launch of a new factory, logistics costs, and personnel costs.

Vegetable Oils and Fats
Net sales increased significantly due to rising prices for raw materials such as palm, our main raw material, and the start of operations at a new plant in North America. Despite contributions from strong sales in Southeast Asia, operating profit decreased due to a decrease in profitability attributable to rising raw material prices and increased depreciation and other expenses associated with the start of operations at a new plant in North America.

Operating profit decreased on factors such as lower profitability due to rising raw material prices and the impact of lockdowns in China due to COVID-19.
