In cup- type noodles, the CUP NOODLE PRO series, which was launched in April 2021 with high protein content and low sugar content while maintaining good taste, continued to show strong sales from the first quarter. In addition, the CUP NOODLE KARAMEN, which was launched in August 2021 and featured a rich and tasty hot soup and roasted chili pepper, and the CUP NOODLE SUPER GATTAI series, a product commemorating the 50th year anniversary of the launch of the CUP NOODLE, contributed significantly to sales. Also, the KIMETSU RAMEN DONBURI and the KIMETSU ICCHO DONBURI, the collaboration products of "KIMETSU NO YAIBA" which is a popular animation supported by a wide range of people, the CHICKEN RAMEN, and the DEMAE ICCHO, made a significant contribution to sales. Consequently, sales of cup-type noodles increased year-on-year. Sales of bag-type noodles decreased year-on-year despite a significant increase in sales of the NISSIN RAOH series. Sales of cup rice products remained strong and contributed to sales, thanks to the continued strong performance of the NISSIN CURRY MESHI and the BUKKOMI MESHI series due to the growing individual rice dishes. Profit decreased year-on-year due to an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses associated with capital expenditures and a rise in raw material prices and distribution costs, although sales increased.

NISSIN FROZEN FOODS achieved sales growth year-on-year, helped by the REITO NISSIN HONMEN, the REITO NISSIN MAZEMENTEI series and the REITO NISSIN MOCHITTO NAMA PASTA series, the REITO NISSIN SPA OH PREMIUM series, as well as the mainstay products of the REITO NISSIN CHUKA SHIRUNASHITANTANMEN OMORI.

Consequently, revenue was ¥ 34,803 million (+136.3%), core operating profit (Note 1) was ¥ 2,173 million (+28.5%) and operating profit was ¥ 2,235 million (+31.2%).

Sales of the NISSIN LAMEN, a mainstay product in Brazil, remain strong, and sales of the CUP NOODLES increased as well. In addition, the increased demand for instant noodles due to the influence of COVID-19 also contributed to sales. The sales of premium products were strong despite a reaction to increased demand following the declaration of a state of emergency in March 2020. As a result, sales of the Americas increased year-on-year.

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.
