1. The Results for the 3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2021

(1) Qualitative information regarding consolidated operating results

During the 3rd quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Japanese economy has been in the confusion caused by the lingering COVID-19. The economic outlook is still unclear and uncertain because a new COVID-19 variant has been expanded again, though there were signs of economic recovery once: the number of people infected anew decreased as the vaccination rate became higher and the restriction imposed on the action of people was eased.

The sugar refining industry has continued to be tough sales environment in general under the further decrease in consumption as usual due to the impact of COVID-19.

Under these economic environments, our Group made a lot of effort to control the quality strictly, to maintain stable supply in the Sugar Business and continued to focus on providing high-value added sales proposal to our customers in the Functional Materials Business for improvement of customer satisfaction.

As a result of the 3rd quarter, net sales increased by 8.0% year on year to 15,411 million yen. Operating profit increased by 11.0% year on year to 1,366 million yen. Ordinary profit increased by 7.5% year on year to 1,583 million yen. Net profit attributable to owners of parent increased by 38.0% year on year to 1,352 million yen.

  • Sugar Business

In the Sugar Business, our Group had an increase in sales volume and net sales in comparison to the previous same period, which was damaged particularly by the spread of COVID-19. However, the operating profit was less than the previous same period, though we raised our sales prices under the situation that the steeply rising of raw sugar price outpaced an increase in domestic sales prices.

As a result of the above, the Sugar Business reported net sales of 8,391 million yen (up of 5.8% against the same period of last year) and operating profit of 1,000 million yen (down of 25.6% against the same period of last year).

  • Functional Materials Business

As for the functional dietary fiber Inulin, the sales volume increased at home and abroad thanks to large demands as health food materials in functional foods, low carb foods, and protein supplements and our Group had an increase in net sales. Regarding the UNITEC FOODS Co. Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary, they had an increase in net sales in comparison to the previous same period in spite of the spread of COVID-19 due to the increase in the sales volume of pectin and gelatin, which were their main products.

As a result of the above, the Functional Materials Business reported net sales of 6,322 million yen (up of 10.6% against the same period of last year) and operating profit of 603 million yen (up of 133.5% against the same period of last year).

  • Real Estate Business
