Nipponham group projects record profits despite processing delays

Nipponham group anticipates its current fiscal year operating profit to reach JPY59 billion, surpassing previous records. This strong performance is attributed to favorable market conditions in domestic chicken and Australian beef, coupled with the growth of its ballpark business. The company aims for a JPY61 billion operating profit by the final year of its 2026 medium-term plan, reinforcing KPI management and cash generation to enhance achievement certainty.

For the fiscal year 2027/03, Nipponham group projects revenue of JPY14,500 million and an operating profit of JPY610 million, with an operating profit margin of 4.2%. Return on Equity (ROE) is targeted at 7-8%, and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) at 5-6%. These targets reflect the company's commitment to sustainable growth and enhanced shareholder value.

Despite positive overall progress, Nipponham group acknowledges delays in certain processing businesses, particularly in North American processing and domestic brand strategies. The company is actively addressing these issues to ensure timely achievement of its goals, emphasizing continuous structural reforms and effective growth strategies.
