(Notes)

  1. 1Revenue does not include consumption and other taxes.
  2. 2Free cash flows = Cash flows from operating activities
    - Cash used for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
    + Cash provided from the sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
  3. 3Interest-bearing debt refers to all liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position on which interest is paid.
  4. 4Net financial income = Interest and dividend income - Interest expense
  5. 5Equity attributable to owners of the parent = Total equity - Share acquisition rights - Non-controlling interest
  6. 6D/E ratio = Interest-bearing debt/Equity attributable to owners of the parent
  7. 7Shares issued and outstanding at end of period is computed, excluding treasury stock.
  8. 8Business profit = Revenue - Cost of sales - Selling, general and administrative expenses
  9. 9Return on invested capital = Profit before interest after tax / (Average of interest-bearing debt at beginning and end of the period + Average of total equity at beginning and end of the period)
  10. 10The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the capital structure weighted average of cost of debt and cost of equity, which is the risk-free rate plus the product of β and the market risk premium.
  11. * The risk-free rate is the average rate for the most recent one year of 10-year JGBs.
  12. * β, or the beta coefficient, is a 5-year weekly beta of Kikkoman Corporation.
  13. * The market risk premium is set at 6% based on the deviation between the risk-free rate and the average total return of the stock market over the past years.
  14. 11Effective on April 1, 2024, the Company conducted a 5-for-1 stock split for its common stock. To reflect this transaction, basic earnings per share, equity attributable to owners of the parent per share, and free cash flow per share are calculated as if the stock split had been conducted at the beginning of Fiscal 2021. For the share price at the end of period and the number of shares issued at the end of period, the figures calculated as if the stock split had been conducted at the beginning of Fiscal 2021 and those before the stock split are both presented.
    For annual dividends per share, the figures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and before represent the actual dividends paid before the stock split, and the figure for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 represents a dividend forecast reflecting the stock split.
