第88期中間事業報告書

This document reports on the business overview of our group for the interim consolidated accounting period from April 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024. The domestic economy shows signs of gradual recovery, but concerns remain over rising prices due to geopolitical risks. The consumer business, centered around the national brand 'Bifina®', has remained steady, although overall sales have only slightly increased. Profitability has decreased due to costs associated with the voluntary recall of a cosmetic product. Moving forward, we aim to enhance inbound demand and develop new technologies to improve our financial performance.
