1. Analysis of Operating Results and Financial Position(1) Analysis of Operating ResultsThe Group is pursuing its eighth medium-term business plan under the theme of “Striving to become a high quality company that provides “Healthy Life Through Foods” Growth through the establishment of a global value chain (VC).” In our mid-term business plan, we are building a global VC structure to lay the foundation for further growth in the future, and at the same time, we are taking steps to increase corporate value from a back-casting perspective, including the introduction of ROIC (return on invested capital) for management that is conscious of the cost of capital.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the market environment both in Japan and overseas has become increasingly severe chiefly due to the effects of interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations caused by the economic policies of various countries, as well as rising business costs in Japan, especially for raw materials, and consumers’ increasing thriftiness due to the progression of inflation.

Net sales of the Group increased as a result of price revisions for some products and services and efforts to stimulate demand after the revisions. Operating profit decreased, with price revisions having a greater effect but still proving insufficient to absorb the increase in business costs, mainly raw materials. Ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent also fell.

As a result, the Group’s operating results were as shown below.

Spice / Seasoning / Processed Food Business

In the household use business, sales fell, impacted by sales decline during the first six months, with efforts focused on demand recovery after implementation of price revisions in May last year. The food service business posted an increase in sales due to the success of channel-specific sales measures. As a result, overall business sales were on par with the same period of the previous year. Profits decreased due to higher operating costs and marketing costs incurred to establish the new prices.

During the third quarter of the fiscal year under review, demand for products such as curry roux and stew roux recovered and price revisions had a greater effect, causing the sales and profits of the business as a whole to start trending upward again.

As a result of the above, sales in the Spice / Seasoning / Processed Food Business were 100,884 million yen, mostly unchanged year on year, and operating profit decreased 12.1% year on year, to 9,495 million yen. Consequently, the ratio of operating profit to net sales was 9.4%, declining 1.3 percentage points from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Health Food Business

Net sales of the business as a whole decreased, with strong sales of C1000, driven by efforts to expand sales during periods of demand, offset by decline in sales of Ichinichibun No Vitamin Jelly, partly due to the emergence of other products emphasizing health benefits. Profits decreased due to the impact of lower sales and soaring raw material prices.

As a result of the above, sales in the Health Food Business declined 1.5% year on year, to 13,303 million yen, and operating profit decreased 26.5%, to 1,738 million yen. Accordingly, the ratio of operating profit to net sales was 13.1%, declining 4.4 percentage point from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

International Food Business Period covered by the consolidated financial statements: Mainly from January to September 2025

In the U.S. soybean business, sales and profits declined due to stagnant sales caused by increasing thrifty consumers and lost sales opportunities caused by production troubles in the first quarter of the fiscal year.

In the Chinese curry business, both sales and profits increased in the household use business due to efforts to optimize distribution inventories in the same period of the previous year, as well as the successful shift to a delivery-type sales strategy. In the food service business, both sales and profits increased due to strengthened menu proposals and efforts to develop new customers. As a result of the above, the Chinese curry business as a whole achieved an increase in both sales and profit.

In the Southeast Asia functional drink business, sales and profits declined due to struggling sales in the traditional trade. In yen terms, sales decreased and operating profit was flat year on year.

As a result of the above, sales in the International Food Business rose 0.4% year on year, to 46,792 million yen, and operating profit increased 1.1%, to 2,557 million yen. Consequently, the ratio of operating profit to net sales was 5.5%, the same level as the same period last year.
