TSUKIJI UOICHIBA COMPANY, LIMITED

The cold storage facility operated by Toichi Logistics Co., Ltd. within Toyosu Market is a market-specific multi-function facility equipped with full-temperature-range storage from C (+5°C) to SF (-60°C), a marine products processing plant, and ice-making machines, all in one location. Stable leasing to intermediate wholesalers and others achieved a segment profit margin of 31.8% in FY2026 (ending March 2026), contributing to the stabilization of earnings across the group as a whole.

In February 2023, Tsukiji Fish Market Co., Ltd. itself obtained ISO22000 (an international standard for food safety management systems) certification. The company implements hygiene management based on HACCP, establishing a consistent food safety system spanning from upstream shippers at production areas to downstream intermediate wholesalers and mass retailers. It has also obtained distribution certification for the marine eco-labels "MEL" and "AEL," providing proof of sustainable handling of marine products.

Kyodo Suisan Co., Ltd. (consumption-area processing), Kitashoku Co., Ltd. (production-area processing), Tsukiji Ichikawa Suisan Co., Ltd. (intermediate wholesale), and Toichi Logistics Co., Ltd. (cold storage logistics) each share functional roles among the group's subsidiaries, forming a vertically integrated business flow from raw material procurement through processing, storage, and sales. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales in the Marine Products Wholesale Business reached ¥65,833 million, up 8.2% year on year, confirming the expansion of business handled through group collaboration as a demonstrated result.

The Company aims to achieve the target figures of MF-2026 (net sales of ¥70,000 million, operating profit of ¥630 million, and net profit of ¥500 million) for FY2027 (ending March 2027), the final year of the plan. In the current fiscal year, the sales target was exceeded, but profit fell significantly short. Strengthening credit management and optimizing selling expenses toward the final year will be key.

The Company is promoting a transformation from a conventional receiving company into a sales company with broader functions. It is enhancing added value through production-area and consumption-area processing in collaboration with Kyodo Suisan Co., Ltd. and Kitashoku Co., Ltd., and strengthening its stable supply system through closer cooperation with aquaculture shippers. In the current fiscal year, profitability improved due to a review of selling expenses, but these gains were offset by the recording of an allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company continues to promote efficiency improvements in storage operations by utilizing the multi-function cold storage facility within the Toyosu Market. In the current fiscal year, net sales were ¥1,466 million and segment profit was ¥466 million (up from ¥409 million in the previous fiscal year), achieving an increase in profit. Intra-group net sales also increased from ¥275 million to ¥309 million, contributing to improved utilization rates through business flow collaboration with the Marine Products Wholesale Business.

The Company announced, on the same day, the progress of its "Response toward Realizing Management Conscious of Capital Costs and Stock Price." Net assets per share improved from ¥2,946.60 to ¥3,189.71. The annual dividend was maintained at ¥35 (dividend payout ratio of 20.1%). The Company also continues to acquire treasury shares, continuing its efforts to improve shareholder returns and capital efficiency.
