Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Holdings Inc. revised consolidated earnings guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. For the year, the company expects revenue of JPY 887,900 against previously announced forecast of JPY 906,100 million, operating loss of JPY 71,000 million against previously announced forecast of JPY 67,100 million, net loss of JPY 49,300 million against previously announced forecast of JPY 48,400 million and basic loss per share of JPY 288.59 against previously announced forecast of JPY 283.51. Reasons for the revision: For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, both revenue and business income exceeded the same period of the prior year, showing steady progress.
However, revenue is expected to fall below the previous earnings forecast, reflecting the impact of lower demand following the rebound seen in the same period of the prior year in the third quarter (July 1 to September 30, 2025) and the recent consumer environment. However, business income is expected to exceed the previous forecast, mainly due to profitability-focused sales activities and cost savings achieved through transformation. Operating income is projected to fall below the previous forecast as a result of postponing the planned sale of fixed assets to the next fiscal year.
