Current Status of the Corporate Group
Business Conditions for the Consolidated Fiscal Year under Review
Business progress and results
During the consolidated fiscal year under review, the Japanese economy showed a moderate recovery trend with active capital investments backed by solid corporate earnings, improved private consumption backed by rising wages, and an increase in inbound tourism demand.
On the other hand, the economic outlook remains uncertain due to rising corporate financing costs resulting from an increase in policy interest rates, stagnant real wage growth, continued high raw material materials, the reciprocal tariff policy of the Trump administration, and prolonged geopolitical risks.
Although the Group has been working to achieve appropriate price levels, the Group continued to face a severe management environment due to the increase in labor costs and continued impact of high raw materials and energy costs.
Under such a business environment, sales of specially equipped vehicles increased from the previous consolidated fiscal year backed by a resolution of certification problem related to the chassis of the truck-mounted aerial work platform. Similarly, for the service business, the Group continued to develop one-stop services and actively promoted business activities such as preventive maintenance proposals and vehicle inspections. As a result, sales of service business increased from the previous consolidated fiscal year and net sales increased from the previous consolidated fiscal year.
On the profit front, the Group increased profits from the previous consolidated fiscal year as a result of various cost reduction activities such as cutting expenses and manufacturing costs, reducing inefficiency throughout the Group, and streamlining the operations.
As a result, net sales for the consolidated fiscal year under review rose ¥6,177 million (12%) to
¥59,306 million. The breakdown of major net sales shows that sales of specially equipped vehicles rose ¥5,824 million (15%) year on year to ¥46,027 million, and sales of parts and repairs rose ¥372 million (3%) year on year to ¥12,689 million.
Net sales by business segment are as follows.
