Fiscal Year Ending February 2027: Q2 Financial Presentation

Overview of Results

For Q2 of the fiscal year ending February 2027, revenue increased 4.5% Year-over-Year to 29.00 hundred million yen and EBITDA rose 1.9% Year-over-Year to 2.14 hundred million yen. However, operating income declined 5.7% Year-over-Year to 870 million yen. Overseas operations achieved both revenue and profit growth, while declines in domestic scallop-related sales and increases in raw material costs led to an overall profit decrease. Interim net income increased significantly to 1.21 hundred million yen, driven by special gains. The full-year forecast remains unchanged. Attention should be paid to raw material price trends and foreign exchange impacts.

Outlook and Strategy

The full-year outlook remains unchanged from the time of publication. The company will continue strengthening ESG-centered management and pursue group consolidation of small and medium-sized food companies through M&A. Business expansion strategies include expanding overseas distribution channels, increasing sales to existing customers, and investing in new factories. Productivity improvements and development of higher value-added products will be reinforced through new factory and production line investments at Daisho, Nippon Canned Food, Maruta Tahebei Kobayashi Noodles, and others. The company will continue cost reduction measures and price revisions to respond to market fluctuations.
