In addition to improvements in aquaculture and North American seafood processing, the domestic chilled
foods segment continued to perform well, resulting in profit growth of over 10% at all levels. The interim dividend was increased by 2 yen to 14 yen, as planned.
Due to the recognition of gain on negative goodwill arising from an acquisition by an equity-method affiliate, figures for the previous fiscal year have been retrospectively adjusted. (Billions of yen)
OverviewFirst, an overall summary.
Net sales increased, and profits at all levels rose by more than 10%.
The main drivers were the solid performance of our chilled foods segment in Japan and steady progress in our core Aquaculture Business. The Food Products Business in overseas also performed well, and the processing and trading segment in North America — which had been a challenge—moved toward improvement.

Overseas,
household use remains strong, and profits increase. In Japan, the chilled business continues to perform well.
However, domestic processed foods were affected by the rise in the price of rice and surimi raw materials, and profits decreased.

The Marine Products Business saw a significant increase in profit due to improvements in aquaculture. In
the processing and trading business, North America continued to improve, while the domestic trading struggled. In the Food Products Business, domestic processed foods were negatively affected by high rice prices, but the chilled and overseas segments offset the impact, resulting in higher overall profits.
Factors for Changes in Operating Profit (Y-on-Y)Domestic sales of functional raw materials for supplements have been steady.
North American processing improved due to increased production of fillets and higher sales prices of surimi. Domestic trading declined due to falling fish oil prices and high costs of salmon and trout.
The rise in selling prices due to market recovery, along with improved aquaculture performance such as higher survival rates, also contributed to the increase in profits.
Fishery operations posted higher profits, driven by steady catches of Japanese amberjack and tuna. In aquaculture, profits also increased thanks to higher selling prices for Japanese amberjack and coho salmon, as well as improvements in farming conditions.
Operating profit rose to 19.7 billion yen from 17.2 billion yen in the same period of the previous year, an increase of about 2.5 billion yen.
The main driver was higher earnings in our fishery and aquaculture segment both in Japan and overseas. In addition, while the overseas operations of the marine products processing & trading segment and the Food Products Business performed very well, the domestic operations came under pressure.
Within the Food Products Business in Japan, the chilled foods segment was solid, whereas the processed foods segment struggled.
Overall, profits in the marine products processing & trading segment and the Food Products Business were roughly flat year on year, and, as a result, overall operating profit increased by 2.5 billion yen.

Consolidated Balance SheetTotal assets increased due to higher working capital and factory investments.(Billions of yen)
Next is the consolidated balance sheet.
Total assets were 657 billion yen, up about 22 billion yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. The main reasons are higher working capital and factory investments—mainly in the Food Products Business—which increased property, plant and equipment. These factors lifted total assets and also led to higher borrowings.

First, the Marine Products Business posted higher sales and profits. The main driver was a significant improvement in the Aquaculture Business; details are on the next page.
Marine Products Business Net Sales & Operating Profit (Y-on-Y)Profit increased significantly due to the rise in selling prices and improved aquaculture performance. The
improvement in processing and the strong performance of the trading business in North America helped offset the sluggish results of the domestic trading segment.

Fishery: In Japan, catches of Japanese amberjack and tuna were relatively strong.
Aquaculture: For salmon—our core business—productivity improved, supported by firm market prices and better farming performance.
The market price of Japanese amberjack increased. In addition, productivity improved through initiatives such as the development of technologies that enable the fish to withstand higher water temperatures. As a result, we achieved year-on-year performance improvement.
On the other hand, the processing & trading segment faced some challenges.
In Japan, we were affected by weak fish oil prices and salmon market conditions. While salmon aquaculture was profitable, the trading side came under pressure from higher costs.
In North America, the trading segment performed well, and the seafood processing segment is also showing gradual improvement in profitability.

Our Food products business in Europe and North America were steady.
In Europe, profit increased thanks to expanding our sales areas and effective procurement of whitefish raw materials.
In North America, household use performed well, but because foodservice demand was soft, the foodservice channel struggled somewhat.
In Japan, higher surimi prices and rice prices that stayed high put pressure on margins. We raised prices in September, so we aim to offset these cost pressures in the second half and beyond.
The chilled foods segment performed well.

Finally, the Logistics Business.
Sales were roughly in line with last year. On the profit side, higher labor, power and fuel costs—partly due to Japan’s ‘logistics 2024 problem’※—and higher infrastructure costs put pressure on profits. We recognize that we need to continue taking measures to address these pressures.
※ Japan’s ‘ logistics 2024 problem’: new working-hours limits for truck drivers (effective April 2024) reduce driving hours and transport capacity. This is causing driver shortages, higher delivery costs, and possible delays.

From the second half, in preparation for a leap forward in the final year of the Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2027), we
will continue to expand aquaculture operations, prepare for the full-scale operation of newly constructed and expanded plants, and work toward realizing sales of pharmaceutical raw materials. However, in addition to the economic measures implemented by various countries, uncertainties remain in the business environment due to factors such as consumer trends and market conditions for marine products and rice.

In the first half, growth in chilled and overseas operations, advancements in aquaculture,
and steady progress in improving unprofitable businesses moved ahead smoothly, outpacing the plan.
Annual Plan for FY2025 (No Change from the Initial Plan)Next, this is our outlook.
As of the end of the second quarter, this shows our progress against the plan for the FY 2025(announced in May).
Both sales and profit are over 50% of the full-year plan, so we are broadly on track. The drivers, as noted, are the expansion of the chilled foods segment and our Aquaculture Business, plus improvement in the previously unprofitable North American processing segment.
At the same time, toward the final year of Recipe 2 (our Medium-Term Management Plan) in FY2027, we are preparing for the next step by strengthening processing capacity and further advancing aquaculture. However, given cost factors—especially rice prices—as well as consumer trends and year-end demand, there are multiple possible outcomes and analysis is difficult at this stage, so we are keeping our annual plan unchanged.

Key uncertainties include consumer trends, which remain unclear.
For example, since the Trump administration took office, the U.S. market has seen a sharp drop in consumer spending, which is a concern.
In addition, market prices for whitefish and rice have continued to rise. We will analyze these factors carefully through year-end and might revisit our full-year forecast after January.

From here, I’ll explain our initiatives by business.
Aquaculture: Our job is to increase volume and, at the same time, maximize value.
On the left: we are building seed-production capacity and advancing technologies to raise farming productivity—the core of aquaculture. In Japan (Iwate Prefecture) and in Chile, our freshwater seed-production facilities are developing facilities to produce high-quality juveniles (smolt) for better productivity.
For Japanese amberjack, we are developing submersible fish cage that keep fish in better conditions, reduce stress, and limit disease losses.
On the right: salmon is expected to keep growing worldwide and is among consumers’ favorite fish. To strengthen this area, we plan to expand in South America and in Japan, centered on Iwate Prefecture.
Sustainability Initiatives Integrated with Aquaculture OperationsWe will promote aquaculture operations that are gentle on both people and theplanet, while pursuing the growth of corporate value.Sustainable Conservation of Biodiversity in
Collaboration with Local Communities
ーWe are engaged in forest conservation activities in “Forest for the Future of the Sea”
located in Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture.
To preserve the blessings of nature sustained by the interconnection of mountains, villages, rivers, and the sea, we are undertaking forest conservation initiatives to foster decarbonization and coexistence with nature.
Addressing Climate Change and Protecting
the Marine Environment
ーAt Kurose Suisan, a demonstration experiment has been launched in collaboration with relevant
organizations* to develop and test an aquaculture feeding vessel equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell.
Aiming to promote the industrial growth and decarbonization of aquaculture, this project identifies and organizes challenges related to transitioning the power sources of aquaculture vessels from fossil fuels to non-fossil alternatives such as hydrogen.

Next, our sustainable initiatives in the Aquaculture Business. We have started salmon aquaculture in Rikuzentakata, Iwate
Prefecture. There, a forest conservation project called ‘Forest for the Future of the Sea’ has begun, and we are working on it with several partner companies. We are running similar activities in Sakai Minato, Tottori Prefecture as well. Through these efforts, we aim to run a more environmentally friendly, sustainable business.
We are also working with partner organizations to cut CO2 emissions from vessels. We are piloting fishing vessels that use hydrogen fuel cells and testing their impact as part of our push toward a decarbonized society.
We plan to continue joining similar initiatives going forward.
Initiatives: Marine Products Business (North American Processing & South American fishery)We will continue to promote the review and improvement of our profit structure.(South American fisheries)

Next, an update on two businesses we have struggled with.
South American fishery: From this year, we moved from two vessels to one. We are also working to focus on catching higher-value products. The sale of the surplus vessel has been delayed; it remains a focus, with the aim of resolving it quickly and returning to profitability.
North American processing: With support from our fishing partners, we are getting fish in good condition at the right times for plant operations. This has stabilized quality and let us increase the share of fillet production (which has higher value than surimi). As a result, in the first half we achieved year-on-year profit growth.
Initiatives: Food Products Business (International)We will enhance and streamline production capacity to meet demand andaccelerate growth.<United States Production Site>
ーProduction to begin in September 2025, with full-scale operations planned to start in August 2026. Overall
production capacity in North America is expected to increase to meet the growing demand of consumers.
ーBy partnering with our logistics partner, U.S. Cold Storage, we will enhance the flexibility of our supply chain through
cooperation in facility-related areas such as refrigerated warehouses and logistics operations.
ーThe expansion of the building has been completed, and the distribution area has
commenced operations. Two additional production lines will be installed, with full-scale operations scheduled to begin at the end of April 2026.
ーWe will strengthen profitability through production capacity expansion, automation
of the packaging line, and improvement in distribution efficiency.

Regarding the Food Product Business in overseas, demand is growing in Europe and North America.
To meet this demand, we opened a new Gorton’s plant in Indiana in September. We are working with our existing logistics partner there, and plan to operate it as a major hub, including more efficient logistics.
In Europe, at Cité Marine, the logistics and picking area of the expansion has started operations. On the same site, we will add two more production lines, scheduled for completion in 2026. Once fully ramped up, this will increase our capacity in Europe.
Initiatives: Food Products Business (Japan)In addition to expanding the product lineup to meet consumer needs, the company aims to enhance
brand value by communicating its commitment to transforming the strengths of white fish into customer value through corporate commercials and products, such as chikuwa (fish cake).
Development of Differentiated Products Aligned with Consumer Needs

Food Products Business in Japan : We will develop differentiated products that meet diverse consumer needs and, at the same time, strengthen Nissui’s brand value.
In particular, our single-serve frozen one-plate meals, ‘Manzoku Plate,’ were well received, with sales at over 170% of the prior year. We are also developing health-focused items, such as microwaveable simmered-fish products.
We aired a brand-focused TV commercial to highlight that we make egg-free, health category products and to build brand value. In Harajuku, by November 7, we held an event serving churros made from chikuwa(fish cake) and fish sausage—offering innovative food solutions and reinforcing Nissui’s image of “safe and delicious.” About 5,700 people sampled the products in one week, which we believe helped lift our brand value.
