TOKYO — Ishii Food Co., Ltd. (2894), an established food company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, reported its third quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending March 2026 on February 6, 2026. The company's consolidated results for the period from April 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 showed a modest increase in revenue and significant growth in profitability compared to the same period last year.
Ishii Food’s consolidated sales reached ¥8.4 billion, marking a 1.2% rise from the previous year. Operating income surged by 55.6%, reaching ¥365 million, while ordinary income increased by 44.2% to ¥370 million. Net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company also saw a substantial jump of 90.8%, totaling ¥259 million. These figures contrast sharply with the prior-year quarter where
The company’s equity ratio stood at 48.0% as of the end of the third quarter of the fiscal year 2026, down slightly from 50.3% in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. Total assets amounted to ¥8.709 billion, up from ¥7.657 billion in the comparable period last year. Despite this slight decline in the equity ratio, the overall financial health remains strong, with retained earnings increasing to ¥4.177 billion from ¥3.851 billion previously.
Regarding dividend payments, Ishii Food did not distribute any dividends during the first and second quarters of the fiscal year 2026. However, it is expected that the company will pay out ¥4 per share in the third quarter, maintaining consistency with the previous year's dividend payout rate. No adjustments have been made to the anticipated dividend payouts since their initial announcement.
Looking ahead, Ishii Food forecasts a full-year consolidated 2 billion, representing a 3.0% increase over the previous fiscal year. However, operating profit and ordinary profit are projected to decrease by 6.6% and 9.6%, respectively, leading to a reduction in net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company by 27.4%. This forecast suggests a cautious outlook despite the positive performance seen in the recent quarter. The company expects its earnings per share to be ¥12.55 for the entire fiscal year, reflecting the anticipated downturn in profitability.
