The Group reported revenue of HK$1,115.6 million for the Reporting Period, representing an increase of 4.1% from HK$1,071.9 million of the corresponding period of 2025.

Revenue from Hong Kong and other regions operations increased moderately by 3.1% due to the stable performance of the noodles business, particularly the Group’s core brands of Cup Noodles and Demae Iccho. As for the Chinese Mainland operations, revenue increased by 4.6% due to the sales expansion in the inland areas and the appreciation of Renminbi to Hong Kong Dollars.
Mr Kiyotaka ANDO, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nissin Foods, said, “Building on the solid momentum established in 2025, the Group delivered another quarter of resilient growth, with steady performance across our key markets. Revenue and profitability improved year-on-year, supported by stable sales volumes. Our core noodles business continued to perform well across regions, while our premiumisation and diversification strategies gained further traction in the Chinese Mainland.
