TOKYO, May 14 (Pulse News Wire) – Ahjikan CO.,LTD. (2907.T) reported a revenue decline for the fiscal year ending March 2026, despite growth in its health food division.
Total sales reached 54,500 compared to 50,240 in the prior year, marking a decrease due to reduced demand for its main sushi-related products amid rising raw material costs. However, health food sales surged thanks to successful advertising campaigns, leading to a five-year consecutive increase in overall revenue. Operating profit fell to 1,279 million yen from 1,964 million yen last year, reflecting higher raw material prices. Net income dropped to 1,111 million yen from 1,478 million yen previously.
The company attributed the decline primarily to elevated ingredient costs, particularly chicken eggs, which impacted profitability across segments. Looking ahead, AHJIKAN forecasts continued challenges in cost management due to ongoing inflationary pressures and exchange rate fluctuations. The firm plans to focus on structural reforms, qualitative growth in its food service sector, and expansion in overseas markets to drive future performance. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company anticipates revenues of ¥54.50 billion and operating profits of 1,500 million yen, alongside net income of 1,150 million yen.
Despite the challenging environment, AHJIKAN remains committed to strategic initiatives aimed at sustaining long-term growth and improving shareholder returns.
