Notes:1. Business segment of "Others" is excluded from reportable segment, which includes engineering, mesh cloths, handling and storage businesses.
Segment profit adjustment refers to intersegment transaction eliminations and other.
The adjustment to segment assets totaling ¥102,813 million includes the intersegment offset elimination of assets (-¥110,530 million) and group-wide assets that are not allocated to specific segments (¥213,344 million). The primary group-wide assets that are not allocated to specific segments are investment securities.
Segment profit has been adjusted for the operating profit appearing in the consolidated statements of income.
2. Information regarding impairment losses or goodwill for non-current assets for each reportable segment [Material impairment losses pertaining to non-current assets]
The description has been omitted because of its lack of materiality.

Segment profit adjustment refers to intersegment transaction eliminations and other.
The adjustment to segment assets totaling ¥114,216 million includes the intersegment offset elimination of assets (-¥125,041 million) and group-wide assets that are not allocated to specific segments (¥239,257 million). The primary group-wide assets that are not allocated to specific segments are investment securities.
Segment profit has been adjusted for the operating profit appearing in the consolidated statements of income.
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 fiscal year under review.
Segment profit for the previous fiscal year reflects this change in allocating standards.

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 fiscal year under review, the value of impairment losses was ¥8,772 million.
