International profit increased due to expanded sales and cost advantages in raw materials. While the chilled food segment saw profit growth driven by strong sales, the domestic food segment suffered from soaring rice prices, yen depreciation, and rising logistics costs.

Profit increased due to price revisions and the impact of the new logistics center, which commenced operations in January 2024.

Exports of pharmaceutical raw materials to Europe began, covering functional raw materials and mail-order sales, and profits increased.

In Europe and North America, strong sales in the trading segment and contributions from a fresh fish processing company in Europe helped offset the ongoing struggles in North American processing.

Domestic trading decreased profit, partly due to a decline in Japanese amberjack and feed oil sales.

Despite rising feed costs, lower survival rates caused by aquaculture management, and a drop in average selling prices, profits increased due to improved market conditions toward the end of the FY2024.

The fishing segment experienced a decline in profit due to rough seas during the summer.

In aquaculture, rising feed costs, increased mortality and poor growth caused by rising sea temperatures, led to struggles across various fish species.

Marine Products Business Net Sales & Operating Profit (Y-on-Y)

Sales increased due to the impact of exchange rates and strong trading in Japan and overseas. There were signs of recovery, such as South American aquaculture. However, during the year,

profits declined due to difficulties in domestic aquaculture and North American processing.

Marine Products Business Net Sales & Operating Profit (Y-on-Y)

The fishery segment struggled due to reduced catches caused by rough seas. In aquaculture, rising sea temperatures, increased feed costs, and sluggish tuna market prices led to further challenges. While the European fresh fish processing company contributed, declining surimi and fillet prices in North American

processing resulted in the same level as in FY2023.

Food Products Business Net Sales & Operating Profit (Y-on-Y)

Despite the recent rise in raw material prices, sales and profits increased due to strong

sales both in Japan and overseas.

Food Products Business Net Sales & Operating Profit (Y-on-Y)

International profit increased due to continued benefits from lower raw material costs. Domestically, while surimi provided some advantages, rice price hike, yen depreciation, and rising logistics costs led to a decline in profit. The chilled food segment saw profit growth driven by successful initiatives in

the convenience store sector.

Plan for the FY2025

Although the business environment surrounding the Trump tariffs is unclear, we plan to increase operating profit by 8.6%. However, tax expenses will increase due to a decrease in FY2024 tax expenses by recording deferred tax assets. Net income is expected to be

almost flat. The dividend is expected to be 28 yen, the same as in FY2024.

Shareholder Returns for the FY2025Our policy regarding shareholder returns is to “total return ratio of 40% or more

over 3 years while maintaining stable dividends.”

In addition to dividends, we will conduct a share repurchase via a tender offer for the first time to enhance shareholder returns and improve capital efficiency. We aim for a total return ratio of approx.68%

Factors for Changes in Operating Profit (Y-on-Y)

We will improve the aquaculture business, reduce the deficit in the South American fishery and North American processing, and expand the Fine Chemicals Business. However, due to Trump's tariff policy, the outlook for the North American marine and food products business is uncertain.

International fisheries incorporate the cost of laying up vessels associated with the sale of fishing vessels.

Aquaculture profits are expected to increase due to reducing losses by increasing the added value of Japanese Amberjack, increasing the production ratio of short-cycle farming of bluefin tuna, and consolidating fishing grounds.

In the first half of the year, the impact of the deterioration in the survival rate in the FY2024 will remain, but aquaculture performance will improve in

the second half.

In North American Processing, we improved profitability by optimizing products by strengthening our collaboration with fishing vessels.

Domestic trading plans to recover the profitability of salmon and trout, Japanese Amberjack, etc., due to high added value and stabilization of market conditions.

In North America, the rise in the price of raw materials such as white-meat fish and shrimp due to tariff policies is factored in. In Japan, the cost increases are to be absorbed by the price hike. Chilled sales continue to be strong.

In addition to expanding domestic sales of pharmaceutical raw materials and exports to Europe, the company expects to reduce costs by Japanese anchovy oil use.

Initiatives: Marine Products Business

We plan to increase profits significantly by reducing losses in North American processing and

South American fisheries, and improving domestic aquaculture.

Initiatives: Marine Products Business (Expansion of Aquaculture Business

and Stabilization of Earnings)

In addition to further expanding the aquaculture business, we will build a system that can

generate stable profits in response to changes in the external environment.

Reduce risk by increasing juvenile production

Stable production by responding to changes in the

environment

ー Productivity improvement by strengthening seedlings by promoting growth, making them resistant to high temperatures, and reducing the risk of fish diseases when they become adults.

  • We will expand production by increasing seed farms and adding freshwater farms.

  • We will also improve aquaculture results, such as enhancing seedling quality by reducing overcrowding.

    We will build an epidemic prevention system based on vaccine development and fishery epidemiology, and reduce the use of antimicrobials.

    ー Avoid the risk of death through appropriate fishing ground management.

    ー By switching to large cages and floating cages in offshore fishing grounds and developing a next-generation feeding system (underwater feeding), we will strengthen our response to high water temperatures and reduce environmental impact such as CO.

    Counting system using AI image analysis

    ー By automating feeding and breeding management through advanced technology, we aim to reduce occupational accidents and costs.

    and North American Processing)

    Promote business reform with a focus on reviewing the profit structure.

    (South American Fisheries) Review of the operating system

    ー Reduce the number of vessels by one vessel and

    operate efficiently

  • By reducing surimi production and increasing fillet production, we will improve the value of fish.

  • In FY2025, there will be a cost until the sale is completed. We expect to return to profitability from FY2026.

(North American Processing) Maximize the value of fish

ー Improved profitability by increasing the ratio of fillet production

  • Increase the production ratio of fillet 5%, whose price is stable at a high price compared to surimi.

    ー Strengthening Initiatives with Fishing Vessels.

  • An efficient raw material procurement system linked to the processing line realizes procurement at the right time. In addition to stabilizing the quality of Alaska pollock raw materials and improving the quality of production items, efficient factory operation and staffing can also be expected.

Initiatives: Food Products Business (International: Incorporating initiatives

to improve ROIC into our business)

Despite the risk of Trump tariffs, we will reduce the impact by diversifying raw material

procurement and expanding areas and categories.

(Europe and North America) Increasing production capacity

In Europe, the company will strengthen its profitability by responding to demand through automation and expansion of production capacity, while in North America, it will improve the in-house production rate and improve logistics efficiency by building new plants. (Scheduled to start operations in the second half of 2025)

Expansion into Spain and Italy and improvement of presence in the chilled sales floor

ーExpand sales to Mediterranean countries such as Spain and Italy, where mass retailers have fresh fish sections.

(North America) Expansion of product categories and sales channels

ーIn addition to e-commerce, we will diversify our sales channels, including membership-based stores and discount stores.

ーStrengthen chilled fried seafood section and adjacent tapas.

Initiatives: Food Products Business (Japan)

We absorbed cost increases in rice and other products through price revisions and item

management to improve profitability.

Improving profitability through strategic price revisions and implementing revenue and expenditure management on an item-by-item basis

・We will continue to revise prices and reduce unprofitable items to improve profitability.

・From March to April 2025, we will implement a price revision of 3% to 30% for household and commercial

products. The effect of the revision of 6 billion yen is factored in.

Development of differentiated products that meet consumer needs, such as convenience, instant, and health

・Develop superior products that combine proprietary technologies and know-how.

Strengthening the chilled business: Maximizing the effects of integration by strengthening product development, improving productivity

・Strengthen product development: cup side dishes, rice bowls, etc. We will focus on product development for which there is a need, utilize new manufacturing methods, and expand existing categories to improve the top line.

・(Japan) Mochida Pharmaceutical's new Epadel dosage form is easy to consume and patient-friendly, and sales will expand again due to increased demand. Japanese anchovy oil is used, reducing costs such as foreign exchange risk and logistics costs.

・(Europe) Shipment started. Expand prescriptions in countries already available, enable sales in unapproved countries.

・(North America) Optimize inventory at sales destinations.

Responding to Changes in the Business Environment (U.S. Tariffs)

Although there are concerns about the Trump risk, we will leverage Global Links’ strengths to

quickly take measures such as changing suppliers.

Procurement in the U.S. is the primary source, and the impact is minimal. Consumption trends are uncertain.

Shrimp procurement costs increase. Considering a change in suppliers is also risky. It will be difficult to pass on the price due to the price difference with other proteins, such as chicken.

<Trading>

Sales of whitefish products processed in China may decline in the U.S. It also takes time to consider alternative processed products.

Sustainability Initiatives Upcycling to High Value-Added Products

Utilizing the skin of cultured yellowtail from sustainable artificial seedlings, we will find new

value.

We have developed "namino leather", a fish leather that utilizes the skin of the full-life cycle aquacultured "Kurose buri".
