Accordingly, the following amount for the previous fiscal year reflected these changes in reportable segments.

  1. NISSIN FOOD PRODUCTS

NISSIN FOOD PRODUCTS achieved year-on-year growth in sales due to an increase in sales of cup-type noodles. In cup- type noodles, The CUP NOODLE SUPER GATTAI series, a product commemorating the 50th year anniversary of the launch of the CUP NOODLE, which was released in September 2021 with the concept of combining the existing flavors, contributed significantly to sales. The CUP NOODLE PRO series with high protein content and low sugar content while maintaining good taste, and the CUP NOODLE KARAMEN which featured a rich and tasty hot soup and roasted chili pepper, continued to be strong and contributed to sales. Also, the NISSIN NO DONBEI and the NISSIN YAKISOBA U.F.O. collaborated with "KIMETSU NO YAIBA" which is a popular animation supported by a wide range of people, and their collaboration products launched in October 2021 made a significant contribution to sales. The NISSIN NO DONBEI TOZAI DASHI KURABE which was launched in November 2021 as a limited-time product contributed significantly to sales as well. Consequently, sales of cup-type noodles increased year-on-year. In bag-type noodles, although the NISSIN RAOH series increased, sales decreased year-on-year. Sales of cup rice products increased year-on-year due to strong performance of the NISSIN OSHA MESHI series launched in September 2021, which is rice soup with the almost same amount of one rice ball in warm soup filled with the taste of ingredients and the contribution of continued strong performance of the NISSIN CURRY MESHI

series. In terms of profit, although sales increase contributed to profit, it decreased year-on-year due to an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses associated with capital expenditures , a rise in raw material prices and so on. Consequently, revenue was ¥ 158,146 million (+2.1%), core operating profit (Note 1) was ¥ 26,170 million (-1.7%) and operating profit was ¥ 26,259 million (-1.2%) in this reportable segment.

  1. MYOJO FOODS

MYOJO FOODS achieved year-on-year growth in sales of bag-type noodles due to strong growth in the MYOJO CHARUMERA which is the mainstay brand, because of strong performance of the MIYAZAKI KARAMEN and the MOYASHI GA CHOZETSU UMAI MAZESOBA. Also, the MYOJO MEGAMI contributed to sales. Sales of cup-type noodles remained at the same level as the previous year due to continuous steady increase of the MYOJO CHUKA ZANMAI, reflecting the good performance of SURATANMEN, and steady sales of the MYOJO IPPEICHAN YOMISE NO YAKISOBA. In terms of profit, although there was an increase in sales and a decrease in general and administrative expenses, it decreased year-on-year due to an increase in raw material prices, depreciation and amortization expenses, advertising expenses and so on.

Consequently, revenue was ¥ 28,257 million (+0.8%), core operating profit (Note 1) was ¥ 2,332 million (-22.9%) and operating profit was ¥ 2,357 million (-23.5%) in this reportable segment.

  1. Chilled and frozen foods and beverages

At chilled foods business, sales and profit increased year-on-year mainly due to steady increases of the GYORETSU NO DEKIRU MISE NO RAMEN which is the mainstay products of NISSIN CHILLED FOODS, and also the MAZEMEN NO TATSUJIN and the YUMEITEN series.

At frozen foods business, sales and profit increased year-on-year due to steady increases of NISSIN FROZEN FOODS' mainstay products such as the REITO NISSIN CHUKA SHIRUNASHITANTANMEN OMORI, the REITO NISSIN HONMEN series, the REITO NISSIN MAZEMENTEI series and the REITO NISSIN MOCHITTO NAMA PASTA series. At beverage business, sales decreased year-on-year due to sluggish sales at convenience stores due to COVID-19, although NISSIN YORK's mainstay brand PILKUL launched the PILKUL 400 which increased the number of lactic acid bacteria from 15billion to 40billon performed well. In terms of profit, it decreased year-on-year due to an increase in expenses such as advertisement expenses.

Consequently, revenue was ¥ 61,222 million (+4.5%), core operating profit (Note 1) was ¥ 3,452 million (+2.0%) and operating profit was ¥ 3,645 million (-1.9%) in this reportable segment.

  1. Confectionery

In the confectionery business, the GOROTTO GRANOLA of NISSIN CISCO maintaining strong trend and the good performance of the mainstay products of BonChi such as the KAISEN AGESEN series contributed to sales, despite the reaction to increased demand following the declaration of the state of emergency in April 2020.

KOIKE-YA promotes high value-added management by launching the KOIKEYA The series, a product commemorating the 60th year anniversary of the launch of its potato chips business.

Consequently, sales and profit increased year-on-year, in addition, reflecting the nine-months performance of KOIKE-YA which became a consolidated subsidiary in December 2020 (compared to 1 month in the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Consequently, revenue was ¥ 52,025 million (+106.8%), core operating profit (Note 1) was ¥ 3,037 million (+12.3%) and operating profit was ¥ 3,105 million (+15.2%) in this reportable segment.

  1. The Americas

The Americas are working to enhance the proposal of premium products aimed at creating new demand, enhancing the profitability of existing products.

The Americas achieved year-on-year growth in sales. As for sales in Brazil, in addition to an increase in demand for home meals due to the spread of COVID-19, we implemented proactive sales and marketing measures and increased further the frontage and depth of sales. The NISSIN LAMEN which is the mainstay product and the CUP NOODLES continuously performed well and contributed to sales. In the United States, while the demand for instant noodles remained high, premium products performed well and contributed to sales. Meanwhile profits decreased year-on-year mainly due to continuous surge in major raw material prices and distribution costs, despite increased sales volume of mainstay products and premium products and an increase in unit sales price due to price revision.

Consequently, revenue was ¥ 63,831 million (+19.8%), core operating profit (Note 1) was ¥ 2,595 million (-34.5%) and operating profit was ¥ 2,631 million (-34.0%) in this reportable segment.

Excluding the impact of currency translation, revenue was ¥ 60,428 million (+13.4%) and core operating profit was ¥ 2,442 million (-38.4%). (Note 2)

  1. China

In China, as the market for high value-added products is expanding in mainland China, the Group (NISSIN FOODS CO.,LTD. and its subsidiaries) has taken steps to expand its geographical sales areas and strengthen its CUP NOODLES brand. Despite negative repercussions after increased demand from the COVID-19 outbreak in the same period of last year, the increase in sales volume of the CUP NOODLES brands in mainland China and the currency translation effect by local currencies appreciation against Japanese Yen contributed to the increase in revenue. In terms of profits, it increased year-on- year as surge in raw material prices were absorbed by cost reductions and increased sales volume in mainland China. Consequently, revenue was ¥ 40,021 million (+13.3%), core operating profit (Note 1) was ¥ 4,321 million (+10.5%) and operating profit was ¥ 4,158 million (+3.5%) in this reportable segment.

Excluding the impact of currency translation, revenue was ¥ 20,286 million (+9.4%) and core operating profit was ¥ 5,579 million (-5.7%). (Note 2)
