Overview of Fiscal Year 2025 Performance
In fiscal year 2025, despite a cost environment exceeding expectations, rapid price revisions domestically and overseas growth drove net sales to 513.4 billion yen (YoY +6%) and operating income to 34.6 billion yen (YoY +1%), setting a new record high. Net income rose substantially to 30.5 billion yen (YoY +42%) contributed by gains from the sale of former factory sites. Overseas growth was robust, mainly in the Americas and Asia Pacific, while domestic price revisions and volume increases in seasonings, eggs, and cut vegetables contributed. Price revision effects significantly contributed to operating income increase, and despite some headwinds, the company generated a total earning power of 13.7 billion yen.
