Kewpie Profits Slip Despite Revenue Growth in Nine-Month Results
Kewpie Corp. saw its net profit decline to 21.31 billion yen for the nine months ending August 31, a significant drop from the 26.06 billion yen reported during the same period last year, even as the Japanese food manufacturer managed to grow its top-line revenue to 397.12 billion yen.
Despite the contraction in net profit, Kewpie’s underlying business metrics showed resilience. Operating profit rose to 31.66 billion yen from 27.06 billion yen, and pretax profit reached 34.32 billion yen, up from 29.22 billion yen a year earlier. These figures reflect results prepared under Japanese accounting standards.
