Nissin Foods Holdings has forecast a return to profit growth in its new financial year after the Japanese group saw its earnings decline in the previous 12 months.

The company filed a 12.4% fall in net income to JPY23.56bn (US$210.4m) for the 12 months to the end of March, as the business lapped a year of higher extraordinary gains and incurred an increase in tax expenses.
