The company’s latest financial disclosure reveals a divergence between operational performance and bottom-line outcomes. While revenue climbed from 383.42 billion yen in the prior year, the firm faced pressure on net earnings, which fell to 155.50 yen per share compared to 187.90 yen previously.

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.
