In the fiscal year ending March 2026, フジ日本's functional materials business surpassed its sugars business and drove profit growth. Revenue is expected to increase in the fiscal year ending March 2027, but profit is expected to be constrained, and the company plans to continue shareholder returns by maintaining a 3% dividend.
フジ日本 is a food materials manufacturer operating businesses in sugars, functional materials and real estate. It owns proprietary technology that is the only one in the world for producing inulin from sugarcane using enzymes. For the fiscal year ended March 2026, consolidated revenue rose to ¥28,443 million, operating profit to ¥3,554 million, ordinary profit to ¥3,773 million and net profit attributable to owners of the parent to ¥3,220 million, resulting in increases in both revenue and profit, with the functional materials business making a significant contribution. Meanwhile, the sugars business saw its profit constrained by factors including higher logistics costs.
For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company forecasts revenue of ¥29,700 million, up 4.4% year on year, operating profit of ¥3,300 million, down 7.1%, ordinary profit of ¥3,500 million, down 7.3%, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent of ¥2,500 million, down 22.4%. Revenue is expected to increase, led mainly by expansion of the functional materials business, while profit is expected to be constrained by persistently high energy and raw material costs and the impact of the weaker yen.
