Revenue and Profit Growth in the Manufacturing Business Driven by ワイエスフーズ Group and Recovery in Overseas Demand

「In Japan, the ワイエスフーズ group, which became a consolidated subsidiary in October 2023, made a significant contribution to performance. Although 株式会社マルキチ was affected by China's suspension of imports of Japanese seafood products, profit increased as selling prices gradually recovered. Overseas, sales remained strong at PACIFIC SORBY PTE. LTD., which sells seafood to hotels, and NKR CONTINENTAL PTE. LTD., which sells kitchen equipment to hotels and restaurants, due to the recovery in tourism demand in Singapore and Malaysia. As a result, revenue from external customers was ¥23,356.856 million, up 28.2% year on year, and segment profit was ¥1,995.435 million, up 128.1%.」
