1. Qualitative Information on the Quarterly Financial Results
(1) Explanation of Business Results
In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Japanese economy as a whole continued to recover moderately, with signs of improvement in the employment and income environment. However, uncertainty regarding the economic outlook persists, partly due to the impact of sluggish consumer sentiment caused by continuing price hikes, in addition to prolonged geopolitical risks, and trends in domestic and international monetary policies.
In such an economic environment, the fishery, seafood processing and distribution, and food products industries, which form the operating base of the Nichimo Group (the "Group"), have seen a certain upward effect from inbound tourism demand. However, the environment surrounding the business remains severe due to factors such as high manufacturing costs, unstable raw material prices, and the impact of rising ocean temperatures on catches in recent years.
Under such circumstances, the Group, during the first year of its three-year management plan, the "Fiscal 2026 Medium-Term Management Plan (Breaking Through Toward 2028)," has set out "From Ocean To Dining, Challenges For The Better Future" as its Purpose, and has been promoting sales activities with the aim of becoming a company that creates new value into the future using the technology and services gained over many years of experience.
As a result, net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 totaled 111,017 million yen (an increase of 7,024 million yen year on year), operating profit totaled 3,161 million yen (an increase of 414 million yen year on year), ordinary profit totaled 3,567 million yen (an increase of 380 million yen year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was 2,802 million yen (an increase of 451 million yen year on year) on a consolidated basis.
The following is a summary of the business according to segments.
Food Business
In the surimi (fish paste) section, sales and operating profit both decreased significantly due to a decrease in sales volume associated with price increases for fish paste products, as well as sluggish surimi production in South America. In the fresh frozen seafood products section, despite efforts in commercial and restaurant sales, which were strong due to inbound tourism demand, crab sales to mass merchandisers remained low due to soaring raw material prices. As a result, both sales and operating profit were almost the same as in the same period a year before. For frozen fish from northern waters, both sales and operating profit increased significantly, as sales of Pacific ocean perch and Atka mackerel to China continued to perform well. Although sales of Pollock roe products to mass merchandisers struggled, resulting in a decline in sales, operating profit increased as a result of efforts to secure profits through a review of production efficiency. In the processed food products section, sales increased due to strong sales of commercial products, including salmon and trout sushi toppings. However, operating profit was almost the same as in the same period a year before due to the impact of high manufacturing costs caused by soaring raw material prices.
As a result of the above factors, net sales for the food business totaled 72,863 million yen (an increase of 4,412 million yen year on year), and operating profit totaled 1,994 million yen (a decrease of 167 million yen year on year).
Marine Business
In the fishing net and fishing gear section, sales of fishing gear for purse seine fishing and overseas sales of ground nets were strong, resulting in an increase in both sales and operating profit. In the ship and machinery section, sales of ship equipment grew but sales of ship supplies and accessories were sluggish. As a result, sales and operating profit were almost the same as in the same period a year before. In the aquaculture section, sales of aquaculture cages, aquaculture-related machinery and materials, and feed were strong, driven by rising demand for farmed fish due to a slump in catches of wild fish, leading to increases in both sales and operating profit.
As a result of the above factors, net sales for the marine business totaled 18,662 million yen (an increase of 1,271 million yen year on year), and operating profit totaled 906 million yen (an increase of 284 million yen year on year).
Machinery Business
In the machinery business, sales and operating profit both increased in Japan as a result of a wide-ranging capital investment projects aimed at capturing inbound tourism demand and optimizing production efficiency, mainly in the food services industry and for commercial use.
Outside Japan, sales and operating profit both increased as sales expanded in the United States and Asia on the back of the prevailing trend of a weaker yen.
