Fukuoka-based dressing maker Pietro said on May 11 that it expects a consolidated net loss of Y32 million for the fiscal year ending March 2026, revising its earlier forecast upward by Y6 million. The company posted a Y57 million profit in the previous fiscal year. Pietro said improved factory efficiency helped reduce the projected loss after increasing production of frozen foods and other products ahead of a planned factory relocation. The company also raised its revenue forecast by Y146 million to Y12.1 billion, up 9% from the previous year. Sales of a dressing product relaunched as a standard item for the first time in nine years performed strongly, while demand at the company’s restaurants exceeded expectations during school entrance ceremony season.
