        During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the Japanese economy has gradually recovered against the background of factors such as improvements in the employment and income environment. On the other hand, the economic outlook is becoming more uncertain, due to the trends in the international trade policy of the United States and the changes in the financial and capital market, as well as soaring energy prices and disruption of the supply chain driven by the escalating tension in the Middle East.

        In the food industry, although a gradual upswing has remained thanks to the expansion of inbound demand and the recovery of the food service industry, we continued to pay the utmost attention to the impact on our business environment from rising raw material prices and logistics costs, procurement risks for oil-derived materials like packaging materials, due to crude oil price surges and supply instability stemming from geopolitical risks in the Middle East, and growing consumer tendency toward cost-conscious spending.

        In these circumstances, we are striving to continuously improve our corporate value based on the management philosophy of “Contributing to the realization of a sustainable society by pursuing the wellbeing (happiness, health, and smiles) of people.”

        During the current period, as an effort to strengthen our earning capacity, we thoroughly implemented “consumer-based marketing” in all business areas including not only the home use food product category but also the professional use food product category, and we worked to expand our revenue by further raising our brand awareness.

        In addition, as an effort to expand our growth areas, we are steadily progressing with the construction of a new plant for frozen foods of HATANAKA FOODS Co., Ltd., aiming for completion by the end of FY2027, in order to enhance our supply system in the light of growth of the demand for frozen foods. Moreover, in the Overseas business, sales have remained strong in the ASEAN region and North America, and Utah Flour Milling, LLC has commenced full-scale operations and continued stable operations, as we are working toward further business expansion.

        In February 2026, NIPPN CORPORATION Chita Mill, which serves to strengthen the foundation for our domestic Flour Milling business, has commenced operations. The mill achieves high productivity through reducing the workload by promoting smart factory initiatives through automation technologies, and reducing the raw material procurement cost by berthing of large grain vessels. Furthermore, as a sustainable, cutting-edge flour mill featuring strong resilience against natural disasters, energy-saving performance, and environmental consideration, the mill contributes to a stable supply and enhanced profitability.

        In the current period, net sales increased by 1.8% year on year to ¥418,425 million due to factors such as the expansion of inbound tourism consumption, sales promotion based on the marketing strategy, as well as price revisions implemented due to various rising costs. In terms of profit, despite an increase in various costs, including personnel and logistics costs in each business, due to steady sales, operating income increased by 2.8% year-on-year to ¥22,082 million and ordinary income increased by 2.0% year-on-year to ¥24,874 million. On the other hand, due to extraordinary income gains from the sale of idle land last year, profit attributable to owners of parent decreased by 11.9% year-on-year to ¥21,803 million.

        The performance of individual business segments was as follows.

        In the Flour Milling business, although sales remained steady and shipments were higher than the previous year, due to the impact of the price revision for wheat flour following the reduction of the government selling price of foreign wheat in April and October last year, net sales decreased by 1.4% year-on-year to ¥120,000 million, and operating income increased by 2.9% year-on-year to ¥9,471 million.

        In the professional use food product category, net sales increased year-on-year, due to factors, such as the expansion of inbound demand and the steady sales of the Overseas business.

        In the home use food product category, net sales increased year-on-year due to sales promotion based on our marketing initiatives increased the sales volume of the “Chewy and Delicious Spaghetti” and “Exquisitely Al Dente Delicious Spaghetti” series and helped maintaining a steady sales volume of frozen food products such as the “One Plate Meal Series” and the “Trendy Meal Series. ”

        In the Nakashoku (ready-made meals) business, net sales increased year-on-year due to implementation of price revisions following rising costs such as raw material costs, despite consumer inclination toward spending less.

        As a result, net sales of the Food Business increased by 2.2% year-on-year to ¥243,694 million, and operating income decreased by 2.3% year-on-year to ¥9,065 million.

        In the Engineering business, net sales increased year-on-year, due to an increase in inquiries for large-scale construction projects.

        As a result, net sales for the Other segment increased by 7.6% year-on-year to ¥54,730 million, and operating income increased by 15.3% year-on-year to ¥3,656 million.

      2. Future Outlook

        In order to achieve sustainable growth, we will focus on strengthening our brand power and developing differentiated products, as well as improving income by developing and expanding production bases and promoting business acquisitions and alliances.

        Our Long-term Vision 2030, titled “As a comprehensive food company, we will continue to take on the challenge of solving social problems through food,” includes the net sales and operating profit goals by FY2031. Toward the achievement of our Long-term Vision 2030, as a comprehensive food company, we have set our business growth strategy and social value creation strategy from the vision in order to understand social problems and customer needs, and pursue both economic value and social value.

        For FY2027, we forecast net sales to increase by 2.8% year-on-year to ¥430,000 million as selling is expected to remain strong. As for profits, although net sales will increase due to sales volume growth mainly driven by sales promotion, various costs pressures are expected to persist, including personnel, logistics, and raw material costs. In these circumstances, operating income before depreciation is expected to increase; however, depreciation expenses from newly operational mills and plants are expected to increase. As a result, we forecast operating income to decrease by 11.7% year-on-year to ¥19,500 million, ordinary income to decrease by 15.6% year-on-year to ¥21,000 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent to decrease by 2.8% year-on-year to ¥21,200 million.

        Furthermore, we set the achievement of net sales of ¥400,000 million and operating income of ¥15,000 million by FY2027 as a medium-term target in May 2022 toward achieving the net sales of ¥500,000 million and operating income of ¥25,000 million set in our Long-term Vision 2030. Subsequently, as this target was achieved in FY2024 ahead of schedule, we revised the medium-term target upward in May 2024, and we have since set a target of achieving net sales of ¥450,000 million, operating income of ¥21,000 million, ROE of 8% or higher, and ROIC of 5% or higher by FY2027.

        Although the future outlook is becoming more uncertain, due to rising raw material costs and logistics costs, and supply instability driven by the geopolitical risks in the Middle East, we will strive to achieve our medium-term target by FY2027 by implementing strategies based on the five pillars: Strengthening earnings power of the core fields, Strategic investment in growth fields and new business fields, Pursuing M&A and business partnership opportunities, Strengthening corporate competitiveness through DX promotion and Promoting sustainability management.

        • The consolidated financial figures constitute the basis for calculating these indicators.

        • Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the closing stock price at the end of the period by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the period (after the deduction of treasury shares).

        • The basis for calculating the ratio of interest-bearing debt to cash flows is cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

        • Interest-bearing debt includes all debts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets on which interest is paid.

        • The basis for interest expense is the amount of interest paid recorded in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

    3. Basic policy on profit distribution and dividends for the year ended March 31, 2026 and the year ending March 31, 2027

      We consider returning profits to shareholders as one of our key management priorities. We determine the amounts of dividends by taking into consideration our business performance and future business environment, etc., with the aim of maintaining a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% or more, calculated by excluding "special and extraordinary income / loss from asset sales and other factors" while taking into consideration the strengthening of the corporate structure, future business development, and the business environment, as well as internal reserve.

      Since our consolidated financial results for the current period exceeded the forecast and to seek further profit return to shareholders, we will propose the final dividend of ¥35 per share for the current period at the general meeting of shareholders, which is ¥2 higher than the forecast.

      As a result, the annual dividend will be ¥68 per share, including the interim dividend already paid. The consolidated dividend payout ratio will be 25.9%, but that calculated excluding the above extraordinary and special gains and losses will be 33.5%.

      With regard to dividends, the annual dividends of ¥68 per share for FY2027 is planned to be paid, the same amount as FY2026.

      Furthermore, we have implemented shareholder benefit programs to express our gratitude for the daily support of our shareholders and to promote a better understanding of us through using our products. Additionally, as with the previous year, shareholders listed in our shareholder register as of March 31, 2026 have the option to donate the amount equivalent to their shareholder benefits to social contribution organizations instead of receiving the benefits.

  2. Basic Approach to the Selection of Accounting Standards

    We intend to prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan (Japanese GAAP) for the time being, taking into consideration

    comparability of consolidated financial statements over time and comparability among companies.

    Our policy is to respond to the application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in an appropriate manner, taking into consideration situations in Japan and abroad.

    5. Notes on consolidated financial statements

(Notes on going concern assumption)

Not applicable.

(Significant matters underlying the preparation of consolidated financial statements)

  1. Matters concerning the scope of consolidation

    1. Number and names of consolidated subsidiaries 41 companies

      Names of major consolidated subsidiaries

      NIPPN Donuts Co., Ltd., Nippon Rich Co., Ltd., NIPPN Engineering Co., Ltd., NPF JAPAN Co., Ltd., OHMY Co., Ltd., Matsuya Flour Mills Co., Ltd., NIPPN SHOJI Co., Ltd., Fast Foods Co., Ltd., OK FOOD Industry Co., Ltd., Nagano Tomato Co., Ltd., Yamato Foods Co., Ltd.

    2. Names of major non-consolidated subsidiaries

      NIPPN Logistics Co., Ltd., Chiba Grain Center Co., Ltd.

      (Reasons for excluding non-consolidated subsidiaries from the scope of consolidation)

      The 18 non-consolidated subsidiaries are all small-scale companies, and their total assets, net sales, net income (loss) for the period (proportionate to equity), and retained earnings (proportionate to equity) do not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

  2. Matters Related to the Application of the Equity Method

    1. Number of Non-Consolidated Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies Subject to the Equity Method 13 companies (6 non-consolidated subsidiaries and 7 affiliated companies)

      Names of Major Company Names NIPPN Logistics Co., Ltd.

    2. Names and Other Information of Major Non-Consolidated Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies Not Subject to the Equity Method

      Isesaki Foodworks Co., Ltd.

      (Reason for Not Applying the Equity Method)

      The 12 non-consolidated subsidiaries and 14 related companies to which the equity method is not applied are excluded from the scope of the equity method because their impact on the consolidated financial statements, as determined by their share of net income (loss) and retained earnings, is immaterial and insignificant on a consolidated basis.

  3. Matters Related to the Fiscal Year of Consolidated Subsidiaries

The fiscal year-end dates of consolidated subsidiaries that differ from the consolidated fiscal year-end date are as follows.

Company Name Fiscal Year-End Date

Pasta Montana, L.L.C. and 9 other companies December 31 *

* We have used the financial statements of consolidated subsidiaries as of their respective balance sheet dates. However, we have made adjustments necessary for consolidation with respect to significant transactions that occurred between the balance sheet date of the consolidated financial statements and the balance sheet date of the consolidated subsidiaries.

(Notes on consolidated statements of income)

The book value of some of the abovementioned asset group has been reduced to a recoverable amount. The amount recorded as impairment loss is ¥687 million.

The recoverable amount is measured by value in use, which is calculated based on 13.83% discount rate.

Location

Intended use

(Notes on segment information, etc.)

[Segment information]

  1. Overview of reportable segments

    Our reportable segments are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors using the segregated financial information available within each segment to determine the allocation of management resources and evaluate business results.

    We consist of three main business units classified by product types: Flour Milling, Food and Other. Each business unit formulates business strategies and promotes business activities.

    Accordingly, we have two reportable segments: Flour Milling and Food. The Flour Milling segment covers wheat flour, bran, and buckwheat flour,

    while the Food segment covers wheat flour for home use, premixes, pasta, frozen foods, Nakashoku (ready-made meals), and rice flour.

  2. Calculation methods for net sales, profit (loss), assets, liabilities and other items by reportable segment

    The accounting method for reported business segments is the same as the method used to prepare the consolidated financial statements.

    Profit figures reported for business segments are based on operating income. Inter-segment sales and transfers are based on prevailing market prices.

  3. Information on net sales, profit (loss), assets, liabilities and other items by reportable segment and information on disaggregation of revenue
