Recent Overview
Sales to restaurant chains and food supermarkets remained solid, resulting in higher revenue and profit.
In the first quarter of FY2027 (ending February 2027) (March to May 2026), sales to restaurant chains and food supermarkets continued to trend solidly, achieving net sales of ¥16,832 million (up 5.3% year on year) and segment operating profit of ¥1,886 million (up 7.4% year on year). Despite the persistently high prices of raw materials, rising logistics and other costs, and increased personnel expenses associated with human capital investment, the segment absorbed these pressures and secured profit growth.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Steady sales performance to restaurant chains and food supermarkets
- Strong sales to hotels and inns driven by the recovery in the flow of people and consumption activity, including inbound demand
- Strengthening solution-based sales and route sales leveraging an industry-leading lineup of over 4,000 proprietary original products
- Maintaining competitiveness through expansion of high-quality, high-performance, low-price products and energy-saving, SDGs-compliant products

Risks

- Risk of deteriorating business conditions among customers due to sluggish customer traffic at restaurants amid a rapid rise in prices and increased frugality
- Risk of deteriorating business conditions among sales destination industries due to severe labor shortages
- Rising selling, general and administrative expenses due to increased personnel costs associated with human capital investment
- Intensifying competition with other companies in the same industry, including single-product manufacturers and local equipment providers
