1. Overview of Financial Results
Overview of Operating Results for the Fiscal Year
During the current consolidated fiscal year, the Japanese economy continued a moderate recovery trend, supported by improvements in employment and income conditions. Meanwhile, living costs have remained elevated due to rising prices and fluctuations in exchange rates. In addition, the global economic uncertainty has persisted due to prolonged situation in Ukraine and the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, followed uncertainty surrounding resource and energy prices with crude oil prices rising.
Amid such conditions, in April 2024, our Group formulated the medium-term management plan CHANGE 2028, which sets out five key themes: 1. Business expansion in Southeast Asia, 2. Creation of food science business, 3. Growth investment centered on M&A, 4. Building a strong organization to realize our vision, and 5. Enhancement of IR and shareholder returns. The plan has made a steady start to a solid start and is progressing steadily.
For the consolidated fiscal year, net sales were ¥28,491 million (up 1.0% year-on-year), operating profit was ¥3,528million (up 9.2%), ordinary profit was ¥3,742 million (up 2.5%) and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥3,176 million (up 11.6%), resulting in increased revenue and increased profit.
The performance by segment is as follows. Note that the Company implemented organizational changes on April 1, 2025, and changed its management classification. Accordingly, from the beginning of the current consolidated fiscal year, the business operated by FUJI NIHON (Thailand) Co., Ltd., which was previously included in the Other segment, has been transferred to the Functional Food Materials segment. In addition, from the beginning of the current consolidated fiscal year, the segment name has been changed from Sugar Refining to Sugar. Segment comparison information has been prepared using figures reclassified according to the new segment categories after the above segment changes. For details on reportable segments, please refer to "3. Consolidated Financial Statements and Significant Notes (5) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Notes on Segment Information).
Sugar Business
The overseas sugar market started at 18.89 cents per pound and immediately rose to the mid-19-cent range due to drought conditions in Brazil. Thereafter, prices trended downward to the mid-15-cent range reflecting global trade conflict and projection of increasing sugar supply. Subsequently, in the absence of significant positive factors, the market remained weak, amid upward revisions to production outlooks in major producing countries such as India and Thailand, as well as the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and a decline in crude oil prices. Consequently, prices remained within a narrow range of approximately 15 cents toward the end of the year.
The domestic sugar product market opened with the Tokyo spot market price (as published in the Nikkei) at 249-251 yen per kilogram for large bags of refined sugar. However, prices were revised downward to a range of ¥241 to ¥253 per kilogram (for large bags of refined white sugar; small packages excluded) in November for the first time in approximately seven years. The Osaka Expo contributed to an increase in the number of inbound visitors, and sales for foodservice-related use and confectionery products, including souvenirs, remained strong, supported by inbound demand. While sales of beverages and dairy products were sluggish towards the year-end due to weakened consumer sentiment, sales increased compared with the same period of the previous year.
Although the company worked to enhance customer satisfaction by ensuring stable supply of products through rigorous quality control and promoted steady raw material procurement while striving to reduce costs. rising raw material and logistics costs put pressure on margins. As a result, the Sugar segment recorded net sales of ¥13,493 million (down 2.3% year-on-year) and operating profit of ¥2,479 million (down 2.0%), resulting in decreases in both revenue and profit.
Functional Materials
Domestic sales of the functional food ingredient "inulin" recorded a year-on-year increase driven by sales targeting health functional claims, despite a decline in demand for processed food applications due to higher prices of imported raw materials and exchange rate fluctuations. At consolidated subsidiary Fuji Nihon Thai Inulin Co., Ltd. sales to major users in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries increased. Although purchasing adjustments were made due to major customers reaching their contract renewal periods, the subsidiary recorded substantial year-on-year growth. At the subsidiary Unitec Foods Co., Ltd., sales volumes increased mainly for collagen products, and as the ODM and consulting businesses expanded steadily, the subsidiary recorded increases in both net sales and profits.
As a result, the Functional Materials segment recorded net sales of ¥14,121 million (up 4.7% year-on -year) and operating profit of
¥1,644million (up 28.0%), resulting in increases in both revenue and profit.
Real Estate
Although Toyoko INN Kayabacho Station was constructed on the former head office site in September 2023 and commenced leasing, contributing to revenue, as a result of the sale and disposal of three properties located in Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, and Nagano Prefecture in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, as part of initiatives to improve asset efficiency. As a result, the Real Estate segment recorded net sales of ¥632 million (down 3.0% year-on -year) and operating profit of ¥579 million (down 0.0%), resulting in decreases in both revenue and profit.
