  1. Overview of Business Performance, etc.
    1. Overview of Business Performance for the Period under Review

      During the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the Japanese economy was affected by strong inbound tourism demand. However, consumer spending declined due to the persistently high prices of goods. There are concerns that prices will continue to rise, compounded by the ongoing uncertainty in the global economy triggered by U.S. tariff policies, although tariff negotiations between Japan and the United States have concluded. The future of the environment surrounding the Nisshin Seifun Group remains uncertain.

      In these conditions, the Group strives to fulfill its corporate mission of ensuring a stable supply of foods involving wheat flour and the delivery of safe and reliable products in each business area. Additionally, the Group aims to achieve the goals set out in "The Nisshin Seifun Group Medium-Term Management Plan 2026," set to conclude in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.

      To achieve these goals, the Mizushima Plant of Nisshin Flour Milling Inc. commenced operations in May of this year in the Flour Milling Business. This plant was established as a "smart plant" that utilizes advanced automation and digital technologies. After the Mizushima Plant began operating, the Okayama Plant and Sakaide Plant were closed in July and September, respectively. Miller Milling Company, LLC, based in the United States, is enhancing its production systems. At the Saginaw Plant, new production lines began operating in March. Reinforcement work at the Winchester Plant was completed, and the facility started increasing its production in July. In the Processed Food Business, Nisshin Seifun Welna Inc. entered into an agreement with Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers in November last year to feature him in a commercial. Nisshin Seifun Welna Inc. has rebranded MaMa, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. The company is revising its lineup, launching new products, and striving to increase demand for its products. As part of its initiatives, the company launched the MaMa Mochi Mochi Nama Pasta series, which includes both ambient-temperature and frozen products, to develop new fresh pasta markets. Nisshin Pharma Inc. plans to discontinue its fine chemicals business, which produces and sells Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, in the fiscal year under review. It also plans to transfer its healthcare foods business, which manufactures and sells supplements, to Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd., a company that operates a yeast and biotechnology business. In the prepared dishes and other prepared foods business, Nomura Foods Co., Ltd. has decided to build a new, environmentally friendly next-generation frozen food plant in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture. This plant will incorporate the latest automation and labor-saving technologies. Operations are scheduled to begin around June 2027.

      Consolidated net sales in the first six months of the fiscal year under review increased 0.4% year on year to ¥431,310 million, chiefly due to an increase in large-scale construction in the engineering business and strong sales in the yeast and biotechnology business and the prepared dishes and other prepared foods businesses. This increase was partly offset by wheat prices decreasing and the impact of foreign currency translation in the overseas flour milling business. Operating profit and ordinary profit decreased 13.0% year on year to ¥22,633 million and 8.5% to ¥24,788 million, respectively, primarily due to costs associated with the start of operations at the Mizushima Plant in the domestic flour milling business, the downturn of the overseas flour milling business caused mainly by reduced shipments and foreign currency translation effects, increased costs in the processed food business, and a decrease in shipments in the mesh cloth business. Profit attributable to owners of parent came to ¥10,325 million, down 49.3% year on year, reflecting impairment losses on non-current assets in the India yeast business, despite the sale of cross-shareholdings.

      [Business Overview by Segment]

      * Expenses incurred by Nisshin Seifun Group Inc., which had been regarded as shared Company-wide expenses, were previously allocated to each business based on business size. However, due to active efforts to advance the Group's business portfolio in recent years, there has been an uptick in the handling of growth investments, including new acquisitions, subsequent post-merger integration (PMI) initiatives, and compliance with local laws and regulations. In light of this situation, we have revised our criteria for allocating expenses to each business from the fiscal year under review.

      We provide two types of year-on-year comparisons for each business: one that reflects the change of the allocation criteria and one that does not.

      The year-on-year changes in operating profits in the explanation of each business's results reflect the changes to the allocation criteria.

        [(2,978)]

        (18.5)%

        In the domestic flour milling business, shipments increased from the previous year due to strong inbound tourism demand and the positive effects of active sales expansion measures.

        In July 2025, we revised the prices of commercial-use wheat flour due to changes in the government's prices for five classes of imported wheat. The government's price was lowered 4.6% on average in April. Additionally, transportation costs, personnel expenses and other expenses rose.

        In the overseas flour milling business, net sales decreased from the previous fiscal year, primarily due to a decline in wheat market prices and foreign currency translation adjustments.

        As a result, net sales of the Flour Milling Segment decreased 7.5% year on year to ¥211,668 million. Operating profit decreased 18.5%* to ¥13,138 million, primarily due to the increase of personnel and other expenses in the domestic flour milling business, costs associated with the start of operations at the Mizushima Plant, as well as reduced shipments and the impact of foreign currency translation in the overseas flour milling business.

        [211]

        [6.1%]

        In the processed food business, we actively implemented initiatives to increase sales in Japan, despite a challenging market environment. This led to an increase in shipments from the previous year. Overseas shipments of commercial-use prepared mixes were also firm, and net sales exceeded the previous fiscal year. To develop new markets for fresh pasta, we launched the MaMa Mochi Mochi Nama Pasta series, which includes both ambient-temperature and frozen products. We thoroughly pursued a chewy texture.

        In the yeast and biotechnology business, net sales were up year on year, reflecting strong shipments of yeast and cultivation medium.

        In the healthcare foods business, net sales were lower year on year due to lower shipments of consumer products.

        As a result, net sales of the Processed Food Segment increased 6.5% year on year to ¥108,515 million. Operating profit increased 6.1%* to ¥3,686 million, primarily due to higher shipments in the yeast and biotechnology business, despite the impact of rising costs before price revisions in July and August in the processed food business.

        In the engineering business, net sales exceeded the previous fiscal year due to an increase in large-scale construction in the plant engineering area.

        In the mesh cloths business, net sales declined year on year due to a decrease in shipments of screen printing materials for solar panels.

        As a result, net sales of the Others Segment increased 32.1% year on year to ¥26,822 million, with operating profit down 18.7% to ¥2,598 million. The decrease in profit came from a decline in shipments in the mesh cloth business.

      The status of assets, liabilities and net assets on a consolidated basis at the end of the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 was as follows.

      Current assets decreased ¥5,089 million from the previous fiscal year-end to ¥333,639 million, mainly accompanying a decrease in inventories. Non-current assets increased ¥13,691 million to

      ¥464,676 million, primarily due to an increase in the market valuation of investment securities held, despite impairment losses on non-current assets in the India yeast business. As a result, total assets increased ¥8,602 million from the previous fiscal year-end to ¥798,315 million.

      Current liabilities decreased ¥9,184 million to ¥138,129 million, mainly accompanying a decrease resulting from repayments of short-term borrowings. Non-current liabilities increased

      ¥4,678 million to ¥144,508 million, primarily due to an increase in deferred tax liabilities. As a result, total liabilities decreased ¥4,505 million from the previous fiscal year-end to ¥282,637 million. Net assets increased ¥13,107 million to ¥515,678 million, mainly reflecting an increase due to profit attributable to owners of parent, a decrease due to the payment of dividends, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income.

      The Company's consolidated cash flows for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 were as follows.

      Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

      An increase in cash and cash equivalents mainly due to profit before income taxes of ¥19,846 million and non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization and impairment losses, exceeded a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, including income taxes paid. This led to net cash provided by operating activities for the first half of ¥34,454 million, compared to ¥31,800 million in net cash provided by operating activities a year earlier.

      Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

      ¥23,650 million was used for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Consequently, net cash used in investing activities was ¥26,551 million, compared to ¥14,668 million a year earlier.

      Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities

      Net cash used in financing activities was ¥18,103 million for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, compared to ¥19,573 million a year earlier. This mainly reflected a net decrease in short-term borrowings and ¥8,695 million used for the payment of dividends as part of the return of profits to shareholders.

      As a result, consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 decreased ¥9,922 million from the previous year-end to ¥82,082 million.

    [Notes on Semi-annual Consolidated Statements of Income]

    1. Impairment losses

      First six months of Fiscal 2025 (April 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024) The description has been omitted because of its lack of materiality.

      First six months of Fiscal 2026 (April 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025)

      The Group has recognized an impairment loss regarding the assets described below.

      Location

      Application

      Type

      India

      Business assets (Processed food business)

      Buildings, machinery and equipment, etc.

      The Nisshin Seifun Group categorizes assets based on the smallest unit that largely generates cash flows independently from the cash flows of other assets and asset groups.

      In the processed food business, the profitability of the non-current assets associated with the India yeast business declined compared to our initial business plan, primarily due to increased prices for raw materials and fuels influenced by the Ukraine crisis, as well as delays in passing on increased costs to product prices due to an intensifying competitive environment. We conducted an impairment test in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard and determined that we could not expect to recover the investment amount. We thus reduced the book value of the assets to the recoverable amount based on an assessment of fair value and recorded an impairment loss of ¥8,721 million as extraordinary losses. The breakdown of the impairment loss is buildings and structures of ¥986 million, machinery, equipment and vehicles of ¥7,394 million, and other of ¥340 million yen.

      The fair value was determined using the income approach, and the discount rate for future cash flows used in the calculation was 12.5%.

    2. Loss on factory closures

      First six months of Fiscal 2026 (April 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025)

      The loss on factory closures refers to the losses incurred by the closures of the Okayama and Sakaide Plants of Nisshin Flour Milling Inc. The loss on factory closures primarily consists of impairment losses on non-current assets amounting to ¥1,570 million.

      A breakdown of the impairment loss is as follows.

      Location

      Application

      Type

      Okayama City, Okayama

      Business assets (Flour milling business)

      Buildings, machinery and equipment, etc.

      Sakaide City, Kagawa

      Business assets (Flour milling business)

      Buildings, machinery and equipment, etc.

      The Nisshin Seifun Group categorizes assets based on the smallest unit that largely generates cash flows independently from the cash flows of other assets and asset groups.

      In the flour milling business, we closed the Okayama and Sakaide Plants of Nisshin Flour Milling Inc. We reduced the book value of these assets to their recoverable amount and recorded the reduction as a loss on factory closures under extraordinary losses. The breakdown of the impairment loss is buildings and structures of ¥566 million, machinery, equipment and vehicles of ¥274 million, dismantling and removal costs of ¥647 million, and other of ¥81 million. The recoverable amount of the assets was measured based on the net selling price, which was determined to be zero.

    3. The Company applies paragraph 7 of Accounting for and Disclosure of Current Taxes Related to the Global Minimum Tax Rules (ASBJ PITF No. 46, March 22, 2024) and does not record income taxes related to the global minimum tax rules in the consolidated financial statements for the first six months of the fiscal year under review.

  1. Changes in reportable segments

    Expenses incurred by Nisshin Seifun Group Inc., which had been regarded as shared Company-wide expenses, were previously allocated to each business based on business size. However, due to active efforts to advance the Group's business portfolio in recent years, there has been an uptick in the handling of growth investments, including new acquisitions, subsequent post-merger integration (PMI) initiatives, and compliance with local laws and regulations. In light of this situation, we have revised our criteria for allocating expenses to each business from the first half of the fiscal year under review.

    Segment profit for the first six months of the previous fiscal year reflects this change in allocating standards.

  2. Information regarding impairment losses or goodwill for non-current assets for each reportable segment

A reduced amount of ¥1,570 million is recorded as a loss on factory closures in extraordinary losses in the first six months of the fiscal year under review.

In the Processed Food segment, investments in non-current assets for the India yeast business were deemed unrecoverable. The book value of these assets was reduced to their recoverable value, and impairment losses were recorded. For the first six months of the fiscal year under review, the value of impairment losses was ¥8,721 million.
