Fancl's supplements swinging back to profit in fiscal 2017

Stronger sales, scaled-back ad spending to drive turnaround

TOKYO -- Japanese health and beauty group Fancl expects to log a 1.1 billion yen ($9.8 million) operating profit in its nutritional supplements segment this fiscal year, the first black ink in four years.

The business posted an 865 million yen loss for the year ended March 31. But products to help with eye fatigue and to block sugar and fat absorption are seen as strong sellers.
