Note: S Foods does not publish an English results presentation; this article is an English translation of the Japanese-language article on our sister site Investalk, which is based on the company’s Japanese-language IR materials, with figures transcribed as reported. The underlying material is S Foods’ financial results report (tanshin) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026. The company’s fiscal year ends in February, so the most recent completed fiscal year is the one the company calls the fiscal year ended February 2026, which this site classifies as FY2025.
