l. Qualitative information on quarterly consolidated financial resultsExplanation of operating results
The business environment surrounding the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (the "Group") during the first three months of the consolidated fiscal year ending November 30, 2026 ("Current fiscal year") still remained unstable, mainly due to policy trends in each country and further intensifying geopolitical risks, as well as fluctuations in exchange rates and energy prices. Domestically, despite improvement in the income situation, the business environment remained challenging mainly due to persistent saving-consciousness among consumers resulting from prolonged rises in food prices, as well as surging raw material prices. Egg prices remained at a high level mainly due to the continued tight supply-demand environment, although the highly pathogenic avian influenza infections are showing subsiding trend.
Under this environment, in the domestic business, the Group strengthened the development of high value-added products that meet diversifying needs, and the reasonable price revisions, primarily reflecting a hike in raw material prices, are being steadily accepted in the market, leading to improvements in the revenue structure. In the overseas business, the Group has strengthened its foundation by promoting the enhancement of supply capacity and the improvement of production efficiency through the full-scale operation of new plants in the Asia-
Pacific and the Americas.
As a consequence, net sales for the first three months of the Current fiscal year increased due to domestic price revisions and strong sales of egg products, in addition to overseas performance with strong sales in the Asia-Pacific despite the temporary decrease in sales in the Americas. Operating income increased primarily due to higher domestic sales, a shift towards high value-added products and improved efficiency in supply chain management, in spite of lower sales in the Americas and an increase in depreciation for new plants.
Ordinary income increased reflecting an increase in operating income. However, profit attributable to owners of parent decreased due to the absence of extraordinary gains on sales of fixed assets recorded in the same period of the previous year. This temporary decrease was attributable to specific factors.
The consolidated financial results for the first three months of the Current fiscal year were as follows.

Sales increased due to a rise in unit prices for condiments, an increase in the sales volume of dressings, and a shift towards high value-added products in delicatessen foods.
Operating income increased due to the effects of price revisions for condiments and cut vegetables, as well as the stable price of raw material for cut vegetables.
Sales increased due to a rise in unit prices from price revisions for condiments and egg products, and an increase in the sales volume of egg products.
Operating income increased due to the effects of price revisions and growth in high value-added products.
Sales increased amid steady sales performance, particularly in the Asia-Pacific.
Operating income decreased mainly due to reactionary sales decline after temporary demands for export products in the Americas in the previous fiscal year.
Both sales and operating income increased amid strong sales of jams and spreads for home use and fruit processed products for industrial use.
Both sales and operating income increased amid strong mail order sales.
Both sales and operating income decreased mainly due to lower sales of machinery.
Explanation of financial position
Status of total assets, liabilities and net assets
Total assets increased by ¥2,630 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to ¥483,161 million.
This was mainly due to an increase in cash and deposits, an increase in raw materials and supplies, an increase in machinery, equipment and vehicles, an increase in investment securities, and a decrease in notes and accounts receivable - trade.
Total liabilities increased by ¥573 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to ¥133,503 million.
This was mainly due to an increase in long-term loans payable, a decrease in short-term loans payable, a decrease in accrued income taxes, and a decrease in other as current liabilities.
Total net assets increased by ¥2,058 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to
¥349,658 million.
This was mainly due to an increase in unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities, an increase in foreign currency translation adjustments, an increase in non-controlling interests, and increase of treasury stock.
Explanation of forecasts of consolidated operating results and other forward-looking statements
The forecasts for consolidated financial results and dividend published on January 14, 2026 remain unchanged.
