Nichirei’s Third-Quarter Results for FY2026 Show Logistics Driving Performance; Full-Year Forecast Maintained

  (JAPAN, 2/6/2026)

Growth in processed foods and temperature-controlled logistics offsets declining sales from ongoing structural reforms in marine and meat businesses

Tokyo — Nichirei Corporation announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 (April–December 2025). While sales increased in the Processed Foods Business and the Temperature-controlled Logistics Business, the impact of structural reforms in the Marine Products Business and the Meat and Poultry Business resulted in flat year-on-year consolidated net sales.

For the cumulative third-quarter period, consolidated net sales remained at approximately 700 billion yen, while operating profit declined by 1.2 billion yen compared with the same period of the previous year. However, operating profit in the third quarter alone exceeded the previous year’s level, marking a return to growth, according to the company.

By segment, the Temperature-controlled Logistics Business performed steadily both domestically and overseas. In Japan, sales expanded through the capture of storage and transportation demand, particularly in metropolitan areas. Overseas, operations in the United Kingdom remained stable, and despite delays in the launch of a new facility in Radomsko, Poland, the segment recorded a year-on-year increase of 2.8 billion yen in operating profit.

In contrast, the Processed Foods Business faced pressure from higher raw material costs for rice, chicken, and eggs, as well as increased sales promotion expenses, resulting in a decline of approximately 3.0 billion yen in operating profit. While the effects of price revisions were partially realized, they were insufficient to fully offset rising costs.

In the Marine Products Business, sales declined due to the reduction of low-margin products, but operating profit increased, driven by expanded sales of high-value-added products such as shrimp and fish roe. The Meat and Poultry Business saw a significant drop in sales amid structural reforms, leading to a 0.4 billion yen decrease in operating profit.

Regarding its full-year outlook, the company stated that it will maintain the forecast revised in the second quarter. For the fiscal year ending March 2026consolidated net sales are projected at 700 billion yenoperating profit at 39.5 billion yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent at 28.0 billion yen, reflecting an expected record high driven by gains from the sale of investment securities.

Looking ahead, Nichirei Corporation stated that it will position the Temperature-controlled Logistics Business as a core growth driver while strengthening the profitability of its food businesses, aiming for sustainable growth beyond fiscal 2027.

ニチレイ、2026年3月期第3四半期は物流事業がけん引 通期業績予想を据え置き

構造改革を進める水産・畜産事業の減収を、加工食品と低温物流の成長が下支え

【東京】――株式会社ニチレイ2026年2月3日2026年3月期第3四半期(2025年4月~12月)の連結決算を発表した。低温物流事業加工食品事業で売上が伸びた一方、水産事業および食肉・家禽事業における構造改革の影響により、グループ全体の売上高は前年同期比で横ばいとなった。

第3四半期累計の連結売上高は7,000億円規模を維持したものの、営業利益は前年同期比で12億円減少した。ただし、第3四半期単独では営業利益が前年を上回り、回復基調に転じたとしている。

事業別では、低温物流事業が国内外で堅調に推移した。日本国内では、首都圏を中心とした保管・輸送需要の取り込みにより売上が拡大。海外では、英国での事業が安定的に推移したほか、ポーランド・ラドムスコの新拠点稼働遅れの影響を吸収し、同事業の営業利益は前年同期比で28億円増加した。

一方、加工食品事業では、米、鶏肉、卵などの原材料価格の高騰や販売促進費の増加が利益を圧迫し、営業利益は約30億円減少した。価格改定の効果は一定程度見られたものの、コスト上昇を完全には吸収できなかった。

水産事業では、低採算商品の縮小により売上は減少したが、エビや魚卵など高付加価値商品の販売拡大により、営業利益は増加した。食肉・家禽事業では、構造改革の過程で売上が大きく落ち込み、営業利益は4億円減少した。

通期業績について同社は、第2四半期に修正した予想を据え置くと発表。2026年3月期通期の連結売上高は7,000億円営業利益は395億円親会社株主に帰属する当期純利益は280億円とし、有価証券売却益の計上により過去最高益を見込む

ニチレイは今後について、「低温物流事業を成長の中核に据えつつ、食品事業の収益体質改善を進める」とし、2027年度以降の持続的成長を目指す方針を示している。

日冷公布2026年3月期第三季度业绩 低温物流业务成为增长引擎,维持全年业绩预期

加工食品与低温物流的增长弥补了水产与畜禽业务结构性改革带来的销售下滑

【东京】——株式会社日冷(Nichirei Corporation)2026年2月3日公布了截至2026年3月期第三季度(2025年4月至12月)的合并财务业绩。加工食品业务低温物流业务的销售额实现增长,但由于水产业务食肉与家禽业务正在推进结构性改革,集团整体销售额同比持平

第三季度累计期间,合并销售额维持在约7,000亿日元规模,但营业利润较上年同期减少12亿日元。不过,仅第三季度单季的营业利润实现同比增长,显示业绩已重回增长轨道

从业务板块来看,低温物流业务在国内外均表现稳健。日本国内通过在以大都市圈为中心的仓储及运输需求中持续扩大市场份额,实现销售增长。海外方面英国业务保持稳定,尽管波兰拉多姆斯科(Radomsko)新设施的启用有所延迟,但该业务营业利润同比增加28亿日元

另一方面,加工食品业务受到大米、鸡肉、鸡蛋等原材料价格上涨以及促销费用增加的影响,营业利润减少约30亿日元。价格调整虽产生一定效果,但未能完全抵消成本上升带来的压力。

水产业务中,由于低利润产品缩减,销售额下降,但凭借虾类及鱼卵等高附加值产品的销售扩大营业利润实现增长食肉与家禽业务在结构性改革过程中销售额大幅下降,导致营业利润减少4亿日元

关于全年业绩展望,公司表示将维持第二季度修正后的预测截至2026年3月期的全年合并销售额预计为7,000亿日元营业利润为395亿日元归属于母公司股东的净利润为280亿日元,并预计在投资证券出售收益的推动下创下历史新高

展望未来,株式会社日冷表示,将以低温物流业务作为核心增长引擎,同时推进食品业务盈利能力的提升,目标是在2027财年以后实现可持续增长
