Price hikes boosted earnings, driving a 68% profit rise.
Asahi Group Holdings announced consolidated net profit for the January to June period of 2026 rose 68.8% year on year to 99.1 billion yen. Price hike effects and a weaker yen boosted earnings, with sales revenue up 7.7% to 1.4639 trillion yen and operating profit up 56.2% to 144.1 billion yen. The company's financial disclosure for the December 2025 fiscal year was significantly delayed due to a system failure caused by a cyberattack, and it was only disclosed last month. This time, the company also announced its January to March quarter results together with the January to June 2026 period.
