Quarterly profit accelerates

The earnings mix matters more than the headline sales increase. Net income was JPY 1.375 billion, compared with a JPY 260 million loss in the previous quarter, while the latest quarter also included a sharp year-over-year comparison effect in profit figures.
Core snacks drive the result
The domestic rice cracker business generated JPY 18.235 billion in Q1 sales, up 3.3 percent, and operating profit of JPY 1.447 billion, up 45.2 percent year over year, according to Note on September 28, 2026.

India exit reaches October
Kameda Seika's next concrete corporate step is the transfer of all shares in KAMEDA LT FOODS India to LT Foods. Japan IR reports that the transaction was approved on September 16, 2026, and is scheduled for late October 2026, with a minor effect expected on the first-half consolidated results.
The planned transfer involves 28,026,726 shares and will reduce Kameda Seika's holding from 49.0 percent to zero. For investors, the move narrows the international portfolio while leaving North America as the central overseas growth test.
