2. Reasons for Differences

Based on Nihon Shokuhin's third quarter results for the fiscal year ended March 2021, it has revised its full-year forecast as indicated above. Actual third-quarter profits exceeded the October 30 forecast due to reductions in fuel and other production costs, as well as lower-than-anticipated selling, general and administrative expenses.

Nihon Shokuhin's expectations that its sales, operating income, ordinary income and net income will exceed its October 30 forecast come despite expectations for lower profits in the fourth quarter due to a sharp rise in the price of corn on the Chicago market, which counter expectations for a slight increase in sales over that same period.
