Prima Meat Packers Ltd <2281> announced on Friday after the market close that its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2026 are expected to fall short of initial projections. The company revised its revenue forecast to 475,000 million yen (up 3.6% year-on-year), down from its previous estimate of 480,000 million yen. Operating profit is now anticipated to reach 9,100 million yen (up 1.7% year-on-year), a downward revision from 12,000 million yen, while net profit is expected to slide to 4,600 million yen (down 35.0% year-on-year), significantly lower than the prior forecast of 8,000 million yen.

The downward revision is primarily attributed to declining sales and deteriorating performance at a vending machine subsidiary. This downturn led to the recognition of impairment losses on fixed assets and the reversal of deferred tax assets at the subsidiary level. Furthermore, the company recorded additional impairment losses on fixed assets, including goodwill, across other subsidiaries. These accounting-driven losses heavily weighed on the bottom line, despite the marginal year-on-year growth in revenue and operating profit.
