Itoham Yonekyu profit recovers as sales top ¥1tn

The food group posted ¥1.07tn of net sales, ¥30.40bn of ordinary income and ¥20.23bn of parent profit in the year to March 2026. The filing is short on drivers, but it is clear on direction: sales kept rising and profit recovered with them.

Itoham Yonekyu Holdings ended the year to March 2026 with a clearer profit recovery than the previous year suggested. Net sales reached ¥1.07tn, up from ¥988.77bn. Ordinary income rose to ¥30.40bn from ¥20.75bn, and profit attributable to owners of parent increased to ¥20.23bn from ¥13.10bn.

Key figures
Current year versus prior year, based on the annual report excerpt.
MetricYear to March 2026Year to March 2025
Net sales¥1.07tn¥988.77bn
Ordinary income¥30.40bn¥20.75bn
Profit attributable to owners of parent¥20.23bn¥13.10bn
Total assets¥524.73bn¥467.01bn
Net assets¥295.51bn¥286.32bn

The top line has been moving higher for several years, from ¥922.68bn in the year to March 2023 to ¥955.58bn in the year to March 2024, before crossing the ¥1tn mark this year. The more useful signal is the profit line: ordinary income had slipped last year, then recovered this year to above the levels reported in the two years to March 2024.

The balance sheet also expanded, with total assets at ¥524.73bn and net assets at ¥295.51bn at year-end. The catch is that the excerpt available here does not spell out the operating drivers behind the rebound. For readers, this filing is best used as a clean consolidated snapshot: sales kept climbing, and this year profit recovered with them.
