Nippon Meat said its sales in the October to December period were stronger than expected but it would continue to monitor sales performance before considering a change to its earnings estimate.

The company’s current forecast is for a net loss of ¥1bn (US$8.5m) on sales of ¥900bn for the year to March, a loss that has been attributed to the effects of a meat-labelling scandal last year, reported Dow Jones International News.
