Nitta Gelatin Inc. [4977.T]
TOKYO — Nitta Gelatin Inc., listed under stock code 4977, reported its third quarter earnings presentation for the fiscal year ending March 2026 on February 13, 2026. The company highlighted several key performance indicators that reflect both challenges and successes during this period.
Despite experiencing a decline in sales due to reduced activity in Japan and North America, Nitta Gelatin managed to maintain robust profitability levels. Sales revenue decreased by ¥1,476 million from ¥29,646 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year to ¥28,170 million, marking a reduction of 5.0 percent. However, the company's gross profit improved significantly, rising to ¥8,127 million from ¥7,661 million, an increase of 6.1 percent. This improvement was driven by enhanced operational efficiencies and cost management strategies.
The company also noted a substantial rise in quarterly net income attributable to parent shareholders, which reached ¥2,787 million, up from ¥1,876 million in the same period last year, representing a significant growth rate of 48.6 percent. This surge can be attributed primarily to adjustments made in the second quarter related to the liquidation process of the North American holding company, including tax-related items. As a result, despite lower sales volumes, Nitta Gelatin maintained strong operating margins, with the operating profit margin increasing from 10.8 percent to 12.8 percent compared to the prior-year period. Additionally, the operating profit grew by 13.2 percent to ¥3,614 million, exceeding initial expectations set earlier in the fiscal year.
