Business Plan

Vision for 2030 and formulation of the sixth medium-term management plan "Transforming for Growth"

The Group has established its vision for 2030 and formulated its sixth medium-term management plan, "Transforming for Growth," which will end in fiscal 2026, in order to achieve sustainable growth toward achieving that vision.

In our Sixth Medium-term Management Plan, we have drawn up an image of where we want to be in 2030 based on the challenges of the Fifth Medium-term Management Plan, and have positioned the period up to fiscal 2026 as a period of transformation to achieve future growth.

In addition, given that the business environment has changed significantly since the formulation of the medium-term management plan, we will continue to work to strengthen our business foundations in order to create a system that is highly adaptable and able to withstand environmental changes.

J-Oil Mills Group's Strengths

The strengths of our group are our customer contact, technical capabilities, ingredients, and the ability to deliver them, and to solve problems by sincerely listening to customer feedback and making proposals. In the future, we will further hone these strengths and strengthen and integrate marketing, research and development, production, and sales to maximize the value we provide to our customers as a^"Deliciousness Design®" company.

Strategic goals of the sixth medium-term business plan

In this medium-term plan, we will transform into a growth company by implementing the following strategic objectives:

Marketing and brand strategy

We aim to increase our corporate value by combining our communication brand "JOYL" with customer-oriented marketing and product development, and by doing so, to become a company that is loved by customers for a long time.

Promoting high added value

Our long-lasting oils, which use our proprietary technology "SUSTEC®^," and our Fry Ecosystem, a new type of frying oil solution, will reduce the burden on customers and the environment, and bring about a revolution in the frying oil market for commercial use.
Through the Smart Green ^Pack® series of environmentally friendly edible oils that use paper cartons, we will expand sales of growing category products with added value such as flavor and functionality.
The texture materials business is an extension of our existing starch business. By processing carefully selected starches with our proprietary technology, centered on the new series "TXdeSIGN ^® (Text Design)," we have created new textures for a variety of cooking situations and food processing applications, with characteristics such as fibrous texture and extensibility.
By combining our unique technology with a variety of ingredients, we aim to expand our plant-based food lineup and become a leading plant-based food company in Japan.

Improving profitability of general-purpose oils

Amid major fluctuations in grain prices, we will promote pricing strategies and structural reforms to improve profitability in order to turn our core oil and fats business into a stable earnings base for the future.

Strengthening overseas expansion

Using our unique technologies and products, we aim to strengthen our texture business and business for the confectionery and bakery industries in the ASEAN market, and our fine and soy sheet businesses in the North American market.
In addition to organic growth, we will pursue opportunities for discontinuous growth in the North American and ASEAN markets.

Value Chain & Business Process Reform

In the supply chain, we will promote inventory reduction, SKU reduction, and partnerships. We will also optimize indirect departments, utilize IT and digital transformation, and reform business processes to further improve efficiency.

Combining funds generated from the above strategies with external fund raising, we will allocate the cash generated by fiscal year 2026 to growth investments, including M&A, and capital investments. In addition, we will steadily and continuously strengthen returns to shareholders, aiming for a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 40%.

Quantitative target

The quantitative targets for fiscal 2030 and fiscal 2026, the final year of the Sixth Medium-Term Management Plan, are as follows.

	FY2026 target	FY2030 target
Operating profit	11 billion yen	24 billion yen
ROE	8.0%	12.0%
ROIC	5.0%	8.0%
EPS	260 yen	500 yen

(Note) In order to respond flexibly to changes in the business environment and to promote growth with an emphasis on capital efficiency, we have decided to exclude sales and operating profit margins from our quantitative targets.
