Food, FamilyMart boost Japan's Itochu's H1 profit by 6% TOKYO (Reuters) -Japanese trading house Itochu booked a 6% increase in first-half profits, it said on Wednesday, as a rise in food, textiles and the FamilyMart convenience store chain offset the impact of lower prices on the metals and energy segments. Japanese trading houses have expanded their presence in the retail business, from food to textiles and convenience stores, as diversified portfolios help them to mitigate risks from commodity price fluctuations that became especially marked following the pandemic and Russia's war in Ukraine. For the six months to end-September, net profit grew to 438.4 billion yen ($2.9 billion) from 412.9 billion yen a year earlier. Ex-FamilyMart minority shareholders secure another landmark win over Itochu buyout Tokyo's high court has ruled the fair value of FamilyMart shares was 13% higher than Itochu's buyout offer, in another landmark win for minority shareholders with implications for future deals in Japan. The ruling, dated Oct. 31 and reviewed by Reuters, said FamilyMart shareholders that petitioned for a better price should be paid 2,600 yen ($17.08) per share, 300 yen more than the 2,300 yen that Itochu offered for the convenience store chain's shares it did not already own in 2020. The decision, which largely upheld a lower court's ruling, could reopen the door for minority shareholders unhappy with buyouts to get a court decision on a fair price for the target company, a route that had been inactive in Japan since a 2016 court ruling.
