Fiscal Year ending March 2026 Financial Summary【Japanese Standards】 (Consolidated)

Overview of Performance

For the fiscal year ending March 2026, consolidated net sales were 68,696 million yen (up 6.0% YoY). Operating profit declined significantly to 52 million yen (down 90.2% YoY), but net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company increased to 5,032 million yen (up 86.1% YoY). The decrease in operating profit was mainly due to lower earnings in the sugar segment, but gains from the sale of investment securities and reduced extraordinary losses contributed to higher net income. Segments showed the following results: Sugar segment sales reached 46,694 million yen (up 8.9% YoY), despite a decline in sales prices leading to operating losses. Food segment sales were 2,801 million yen (up 3.7% YoY), operating profit was 171 million yen (down 22.6% YoY). The feed segment recorded sales of 12,744 million yen (down 0.9% YoY) and operating profit of 1,363 million yen (up 11.7% YoY).
