Kikkoman's second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue rose 11.2%, supported by overseas growth and favorable foreign exchange rates. Operating margin improved to 12.5% from 11.9%, largely due to one-off tariff refunds in the US.
Kikkoman will replicate its success in other countries where soy sauce penetration is low, lifting its growth outlook for longer.
Sales in Japan decline more quickly due to a declining population, diminishing scale benefits and profits, and Kikkoman is unable to find ways to offset the drop.
