- Overview of Operating Results and Others
- Summary of Operating Results
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, personal consumption clearly remained sluggish due to factors such as the continued decline in real wages amid the higher likelihood of inflation. The business environment remains challenging, with labor shortages becoming more serious, and the surge in energy and raw material costs due to tensions escalating in the Middle East toward the fiscal year-end, and the future outlook remains uncertain.
Under these circumstances, the Yamato Group is promoting initiatives based on the medium-term management plan "Sustainability Transformation 2030 ~1st Stage~", to create “economic value”, as well as “environmental value” and “social value” to make our society more sustainable, including growing profits in the base domain by strengthening the TA-Q-BIN network, expanding the corporate business by providing business solutions, commercializing new business models to address the diversifying needs of customers and society, and strengthening the Group’s management platform, in order to achieve sustainable corporate value enhancement through the concept of “Helping to enrich our society”, which is part of our Management Philosophy.

(64.0)
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, operating revenue was 1,865,675 million yen, up 102,979 million yen year-on-year. This was due to progress made in initiatives to reform the revenue mix, including the increase in TA-Q-BIN volume from small corporate and individual customers covered by the TA-Q-BIN domain, pricing
optimization with large corporate clients covered by the Corporate domain, as well as the expansion of the Corporate business.
Operating expenses were 1,837,370 million yen, up 88,880 million yen year-on-year. This was due to factors including investments in human capital to strengthen the TA-Q-BIN network, such as raising the compensation of our employees and partners, as well as executing network investments including the reallocation of pickup and delivery facilities, and the rise in procurement unit costs. Meanwhile, we focused on cost control by reviewing operations in the Transportation domain.
As a result, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, operating profit was 28,304 million yen, which was a 14,098 million yen increase year-on-year. Profit attributable to owners of parent totaled 13,662 million yen, a decline of 24,275 million compared with the previous fiscal year, mainly related to the booking in the previous fiscal year of extraordinary income associated with a large-scale sale-and-leaseback of the head office building and other assets, despite continued efforts to improve capital efficiency through the securitization of assets and the sale of strategic shareholdings during the current fiscal year.
Initiatives for the Entire Yamato GroupReinforcement of the TA-Q-BIN network and the enhancement of value provided
In order to transform the TA-Q-BIN business—our Base domain—into a structure that can stably generate profits, we are working to optimize pricing in line with the value provided. We are also creating an environment where Sales Drivers can engage directly with customers and focus on providing better services, as well as developing products and services that address customer needs, reallocating pickup and delivery bases in line with the characteristics of each local market, and expanding the “Nekosapo” network of community-based stores that offer services beyond TA-Q-BIN shipping and receiving. Effective October 2025, we revised the reported fares for TA-Q-BIN, and in November launched the "TA-Q-BIN Same-Day Delivery Service", which delivers packages accepted in the morning on the same day, and introduced new intra-prefecture tariffs. We are also enhancing transportation efficiency to strengthen the TA-Q-BIN network. In order to improve transportation and loading efficiency and optimize operating costs, while also addressing customer needs and ensuring appropriate workstyles for our transportation partners, we are reviewing our transportation methods, for example by switching to relay-based transportation systems using designated relay points for long-distance routes, promoting modal shifts such as the use of dedicated cargo aircraft, and reassessing terminal operations through the appropriate allocation of sorting personnel.
Expanding the business for corporates
We aim to drive profit growth for the Yamato Group by integrating value-add services such as warehouse operations and international forwarding to our transportation and delivery network, thereby supporting the business expansion of our corporate clients. In the Contract Logistics business, which addresses the full scope of logistics and management challenges for corporate clients, we are expanding our value proposition by operating B2B logistics inventory and delivery hubs as well as integrated logistics centers for e-commerce businesses. In October 2025, we opened an integrated business solution hub in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, combining Yamato Group's transportation terminal with a logistics center equipped with high value-added functions. We will roll out similar hubs in areas where there is demand, to deliver new value to customers and local communities.
By integrating international transportation and overseas contract logistics services provided through our Global business, we are enhancing our ability to support clients across their entire supply chain. We are strengthening our sales capabilities mainly in North America, China and Southeast Asia, and are working to improve the efficiency of international forwarding, enhance the proposals we make to cross-border e-commerce clients, and capture logistics demand arising from higher domestic demand, while also considering M&A and strategic business alliances.
Commercialization of “Green Mobility”
The Yamato Group has been accumulating expertise and know-how regarding environmental and social challenges, in areas such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, building sustainable and efficient logistics systems, and promoting employee health management, by addressing issues such as the intensifying of transportation capacity shortage in the medium-to-long term and climate change, and by actively working to solve these issues together with our business partners.
We will refine these initiatives into a “Green Mobility” business model, and offer them to clients as solutions to enhance the sustainability of supply chains, thereby driving new growth for the Yamato Group.
From the perspectives of “vehicles” and “energy,” we are addressing the environmental needs of corporate clients who operate vehicles, through Yamato’s “EV Lifecycle Service,” a comprehensive package that includes vehicle maintenance services, procurement of EVs, expertise in their efficient utilization, supply of renewable energy-derived electricity, and an energy management system developed by the Yamato Group.
From the perspective of “people,” we are supporting initiatives such as health management and accident prevention efforts for employees of transportation companies, who tend to face higher health risks, through the online medical service “MY MEDICA”. In July 2025, we entered into a partnership agreement with a non-profit organization that supports the safety and health of transportation and logistics professionals, and are promoting the reduction of health-related accidents among truck operators through joint seminars and system integration. Furthermore, by providing shared transportation and delivery services, based on our trunk-route transportation and using an open platform that digitally matches cargo-owner companies with logistics providers, we are working to improve logistics efficiency across industries, an initiative driven mainly by Sustainable Shared Transport Inc. In August 2025, we signed a cooperation agreement with the federation of cooperative associations comprising approximately 1,600 regional logistics companies nationwide, and are promoting the expansion of logistics networks connecting regions across Japan, as well as enhancing the use of joint transportation and delivery services.
Strengthening the Group's management platform
The Yamato Group continues to promote its human resource strategy and digital strategy as the foundation for achieving sustainable corporate value enhancement, and strengthen sustainable management and corporate governance.
As for our human resource strategy, we are continuing to promote investments aimed at further raising the compensation of employees, including Sales Drivers, and enhancing the work environment. to achieve sustainable growth. At Yamato Transport Co., Ltd., we are expanding the use of fan-equipped vests as a countermeasure against heatstrokes, starting in June 2025, and promoting the installation of WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) measurement devices at our business locations nationwide, as well as starting a trial implementation of wearable devices that detect heatstroke risk. In addition, to further strengthen our front-line organization and personnel who engage directly with customers, we are reallocating human resources to TA-Q-BIN sales offices and corporate sales branches, while streamlining administrative operations and organizational structures, as well as developing leadership talent. To heighten employee motivation, we are introducing a scheme in which compensation is determined based on performance, for employees in roles such as sales and planning. In addition, in light of the aging of large truck drivers in Japan’s logistics industry, we
have started collaborating with partners to build a recruitment and training platform for Vietnamese large truck drivers utilizing the Specified Skilled Worker program, with the aim of realizing sustainable logistics.
As for our digital strategy, we have strengthened our DX promotion structure and are working on DX promotion that is integrated with our business, such as expanding the value we provide to customers and reforming the way we “sort", “transport” and “work”, and reforming back-office operational processes, by utilizing our digital infrastructure. Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. has launched a trial aimed at developing a last-mile delivery model utilizing autonomous delivery robots in large-scale condominiums. As condominiums grow in size and residents’ needs for parcel receipt become more diverse, we are assessing the operation and effectiveness of such new delivery methods. In addition, by effectively leveraging technological advances, including generative AI, we are conducting training programs to develop personnel who are able to serve as the core drivers of AI utilization in each organization, with the aim of improving operational efficiency in back-office and administrative functions, as well as creating additional value for customers.
In order to strengthen sustainable management, we are strengthening our efforts to address the materialities we identified, based on our two visions “Green Logistics that connects, and delivers the future” and “Contributing to the realization of a society that ‘Leaves No One Behind’ through Co-creation and fair business activities” to enhance corporate value over the medium to long term, and realize a sustainable society.
In the domain of the environment, we are continuing to promote measures such as “introducing EVs”, “introducing solar power generation equipment” and “improving the usage rate of renewable energy-based electricity”, in order to achieve the target of “48% reduction in greenhouse gas in 2030, compared to fiscal year ended March 2021” and “virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions (own emissions) by 2050”, as well as working to grasp net emissions in the supply chain (Scope 3), and setting reduction targets.
Moreover, in the domain of the society, we continue to place the highest priority on respect for human life, and are strengthening initiatives for the safety and health of our employees and partners, while promoting the development of a work environment in which a diverse range of employees can play an active role. We are confronting various social issues, and promoting the establishment of a sustainable supply chain based on appropriate relationships, holding regular discussions with our business partners, and developing systems, processes, and mechanisms for the early detection and resolution of issues.
As for enhancing our corporate governance, we are continuing to work on separating management supervision and execution, as well as maintaining and improving management transparency. We are working to enhance corporate value in a sustainable manner, through constructive dialogue with shareholders and investors, and enriching the disclosure of information.
Business Strategies of Each Segment Express BusinessThe Express Business provides domestic transportation and delivery services, mainly TA-Q-BIN, to individual and corporate customers. We are working to expand TA-Q-BIN parcel volume from small corporate clients and individual customers served by the TA-Q-BIN business, while optimizing pricing in line with the value provided for large corporate clients served by the Corporate business. At the same time, we are focused on creating an environment where Sales Drivers can engage directly with customers and concentrate on providing better service, developing products and services tailored to customer needs, reallocating pickup and delivery bases in line with local market characteristics, and expanding the “Nekosapo” network of community-based stores that offer services beyond TA-Q-BIN shipping and receiving. We are also enhancing transportation efficiency to strengthen the TA-Q-BIN network.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, in light of cost increases due to changes in the external environment, we promoted initiatives to strengthen sales efforts targeting small corporate clients and individual consumers in the TA-Q-BIN segment, as well as addressing the diverse transportation needs of large corporate clients in the Corporate segment, and charging appropriate pricing based on the value-add provided. Specifically, effective October 2025, we revised the reported fares for TA-Q-BIN, and in November launched the TA-Q-BIN Same-Day Delivery Service, which delivers packages accepted in the morning on the same day, and introduced new intra-prefecture tariffs. In addition, we promoted initiatives such as expanding “Okihai” services in collaboration with e-commerce operators, to provide a more convenient parcel receiving experience to a larger number of customers, reduce redeliveries, improve logistics efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, to meet the growing demand for small parcel deliveries, we promoted the sales expansion of “Koneko-bin 420,” a new service enabling nationwide flat-rate shipping (excluding Okinawa Prefecture) through the advance purchase of dedicated packaging.
As for strengthening the TA-Q-BIN network, in order to improve transportation and loading efficiency and optimize operating costs, while also addressing customer needs and ensuring appropriate workstyles for our transportation partners, we are reviewing our transportation methods, for example by switching to relay-based transportation systems using designated relay points for long-distance routes, promoting modal shifts such as the use of dedicated cargo aircraft, and improving the allocation of sorting personnel.
Operating revenue from customers was 1,557,978 million yen, up 1.5% year on year, driven by growth in
TA-Q-BIN volume from small corporate and individual customers covered by the TA-Q-BIN segment, as well as progress in setting appropriate pricing for large corporate clients covered by the Corporate segment. Operating profit increased 15,198 million yen year-on-year to become 2,299 million yen.
Contract Logistics BusinessIn the Contract Logistics Business, we provide solutions that integrate our value-add services such as warehouse operations to our transportation and delivery network, thereby supporting corporate clients in resolving their business challenges and driving growth.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we proposed higher value-add supply chain solutions such as the operation of inventory and delivery hubs for B2B transactions and integrated logistics centers for e-commerce operators, while also working to improve the quality and productivity of our operations, leveraging the expertise of Nakano Shokai Co., Ltd., which we made a consolidated subsidiary. Moreover, in October 2025, we opened an integrated business solution hub in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, combining Yamato Group's transportation terminal with a logistics center equipped with high value-added functions.
Operating revenue from customers was 164,602 million yen, up 69.6% year-on-year, due to factors including winning new mandates and Nakano Shokai Co., Ltd. becoming a consolidated subsidiary. Operating profit increased 634 million yen year-on-year to become 6,217 million yen.
In the Global Business, domestic and overseas operating companies collaborate to provide solutions that optimize the entire global supply chain of corporate clients, by combining international forwarding, international express, contract logistics at overseas locations, and other services. Recognizing the changes in supply chains as an opportunity, we are working to further expand our business in areas where the Yamato Group has strengths, such as the automotive, high-tech and food industries, while leveraging our vast customer base in Japan, which we have built up through our TA-Q-BIN services, and strengthening our sales capabilities particularly in Japan, North America, China and Southeast Asia.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we further strengthened collaboration between our domestic operating companies and overseas group entities, establishing an integrated framework for business operations. At the same time, we continued to promote initiatives such as improving mixed cargo loading efficiency in international forwarding, enhancing proposals to the growing cross-border e-commerce operators, and capturing logistics demand driven by domestic consumption growth in key focus regions.
Operating revenue from customers was 97,552 million yen, up 13.5% year-on-year, driven by factors including progress made in sales expansion of international forwarding operations. Operating profit decreased 877 million yen year-on-year to become 8,150 million yen.

The Yamato Group places utmost priority on protecting human life and conducts a range of safety measures. Accordingly, its transport safety management practices in that regard involve drawing up its Safety Management Regulations, building up its transport safety management systems, and formulating annual plans, all centered on respective Group companies whose main operations involve transport. Starting in October 2025, Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. began upgrading approximately 46,000 drive recorders installed in its pickup and delivery vehicles to further enhance safety awareness and driving skills through the visualization of driving conditions. In addition, we are continuing to hold “Children’s Traffic Safety Classes” at kindergartens and elementary schools, and promote Group-wide initiatives such as the “Zero Traffic Accidents Campaign”, to raise overall safety awareness.

- Financial Conditions
Total assets were 1,280,170 million yen as of March 31, 2026, up 12,742 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was largely attributable to the 30,158 million yen increase in cash and deposits, the decrease of 10,479 million yen in land due to the securitization of non-current assets based on our real estate strategy, and the amortization of 13,434 million yen of goodwill following the valuation of goodwill in the Contract Logistics business. In addition, due to the shifting of part of our vehicle sourcing to leases, mainly in the Express business, Vehicles declined by 7,525 million yen, while leased assets increased by 13,298 million yen.
Liabilities increased 31,035 million yen to 698,113 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to the 17,441 million yen increase in lease liabilities due to the acquisition of leased assets, and the 7,096 million yen increase in short-term borrowings due to factors including the increase in borrowings as working capital following the increase in installment sales in the Other segment.
Total net assets were 582,057 million yen, down 18,293 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. The major factors included the profit attributable to owners of the parent being 13,662 million yen, the payout of 14,807 million yen of dividends of surplus, and the 18,915 million yen purchase of our own shares.
As a result, the equity ratio changed to 44.6%, from 46.5% in the previous fiscal year.
- Status of cash flows
Net cash generated by operating activities amounted to 72,218 million yen, which was 24,485 million yen higher than the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to the 24,936 million yen decline in profit before income taxes, and the 19,145 million yen increase in depreciation and goodwill amortization, which are not cash items, and the 18,533 million yen increase in loss (gain) on sale of non-current assets and loss (gain) on sale of investment securities, which are P&L items that are included in cashflow related to investing activities. Moreover, there was a 14,729 million yen increase in the balance of accrued consumption taxes due to the increase in accrued consumption taxes, and a 14,910 million yen increase in income taxes paid.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to 7,270 million yen, which was a decrease of 37,086 million yen compared with the previous fiscal year. There was a 17,393 million yen decrease in expenditure for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, due to the shifting of vehicle sourcing to leases, and an expenditure of 35,307 million yen for the acquisition of shares of subsidiaries following the change in scope of consolidation in the Contract Logistics business in the previous fiscal year, and a 12,013 million yen decline in income from the sale of investment securities.
Net cash used in financing activities was 37,073 million yen, which was an increase in payment of 46,494 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year. This was largely attributable to the 57,883 million yen decrease in proceeds from borrowings, and the 12,178 million yen decrease in spending to acquire our own shares.
As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents were 237,822 million yen as of March 31, 2026, up 29,765 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.
- Future outlook
The business environment surrounding Yamato Group remains uncertain, due to instability in global affairs and volatility in financial markets. In addition, costs are expected to continue rising due to changes in the external environment, including the impact of inflation and the shortage in transportation capacity becoming more serious over the medium to long term. Furthermore, in the medium to long term, we anticipate trends such as further expansion of e-commerce, increasing geopolitical risks, continued population decline, aging and depopulation of rural areas, as well as labor shortages and climate change becoming more serious.
Under these circumstances, Yamato Group has defined its aspiration for 2030 as becoming a “value-creating company that contributes to the realization of a sustainable future”, with the aim of achieving sustainable growth in corporate value through our management philosophy of “Helping to enrich our society”.
We have positioned the medium-term management plan "Sustainability Transformation 2030 ~1st Stage~", which covers the period until the fiscal year ending March 2027, as the “three-year period to strengthen the TA-Q-BIN network and transform the business portfolio”, and are generating “economic value” through initiatives such as reinforcing the TA-Q-BIN network to enhance the value we provide, growth of the Corporate business by providing solutions that cover the entire supply chain, commercializing new business models to meet the diversifying needs of customers and society, and strengthening the Group's management platform, while also promoting the creation of “environmental value” and “social value” by contributing to the sustainability of society.
In the TA-Q-BIN network, which is Yamato’s base domain, we will expand the value we provide in line with increasingly diverse customer needs, while steadily advancing the optimization of pricing that appropriately reflects rising costs and value provision. In addition, we will accelerate our newly introduced “AI and data-driven management,” improving productivity across the entire operation through optimal allocation of management resources based on data, and higher efficiency in back-office operations. Furthermore, we will strengthen our earnings capability by creating new customer experience value.
At the same time, we will accelerate the transformation of our business portfolio. By making full use of the management resources built up through the TA-Q-BIN business, and by providing solutions that support the resolution of challenges across the entire supply chain, we will focus on expanding the Corporate business (Contract Logistics business and Global business), which we position as a growth area. In addition, by maximizing synergies within the Group, including capturing decarbonization demand of clients who use vehicles in their operations through the commercialization of “Green Mobility,” we will place them on a growth trajectory as new pillars of earnings.
For the full year, we are forecasting consolidated financial results of 1,920,000 million yen in operating revenue, 42,000 million yen in operating profit, 42,000 million yen in ordinary profit, and 24,000 million in profit attributable to owners of parent.
- Operational and financial issues to be addressed
The Yamato Group is operating in a business environment in which the future outlook remains uncertain, due to factors such as the instability in global affairs, as well as volatility in the financial markets. Meanwhile, cost hikes are expected to continue due to changes in the external environment, such as the impact of inflation, and the shortage in transportation capacity becoming more serious over the medium to long term. Moreover, we are anticipating medium- to long-term changes including the further expansion of EC, the heightening of geopolitical risks, the declining birthrate and the aging society, the depopulation of rural areas, as well as labor shortage and climate change intensifying. Against this backdrop, the Yamato Group has set our aspiration for 2030 as becoming a “value-creating company that contributes to the realization of a sustainable future”, to realize the sustainable enhancement of corporate value through "helping to enrich our society" as stated in our management philosophy. We are positioning the medium-term management plan “Sustainability Transformation 2030 ~1st Stage~” which lasts until the fiscal year ending March 2027, as the “three years to strengthen the TA-Q-BIN network and transforming the business portfolio,” and will promote the following initiatives:
Reinforcement of the TA-Q-BIN network and the enhancement of value provided
Although the parcel delivery industry continues to expand alongside the growth of e-commerce, the core domain—comprising individuals and small businesses—is being affected by the declining population and sluggish consumer spending. In addition, with the advancement of e-commerce and demographic shifts, changes are taking place in both the volume of last-mile pickup and delivery operations, and the flow of parcels between urban and rural areas in the Transportation domain. These developments are leading to a downward trend in the profitability of the TA-Q-BIN network.
In response to these conditions, we are transforming our revenue structure and strategically setting the appropriate pricing that reflects the value-added services we provide, to convert the business structure of our core TA-Q-BIN business so that it can generate profit in a stable manner. We are also focusing on creating an environment in which our Sales Drivers can focus on delivering high-quality services to customers, as well as reorganizing pickup and delivery bases based on the market characteristics of each region, and developing products and services that meet customers’ needs including services that go beyond the sending and receiving of TA-Q-BIN parcels.
In the Transportation domain, we will strengthen the TA-Q-BIN network as a social infrastructure to make it more efficient and sustainable, respond to customer needs, improve transportation and loading efficiency, minimize fixed costs, and control variable costs in accordance with the workload. To achieve this, we will review the methods of transportation between terminals, as well as between terminals and pickup/delivery bases in accordance with changes in parcel volume, and appropriately allocate sorting staff.
Expansion of the Corporate business domain
With the intensifying of various risk factors, including environmental issues, and blocs being formed around the world in politics and the economy, as well as in the supply chain, and companies being required to address such changes, the Yamato Group sees such changes as opportunities, and is positioning the solution business, in which we seek to solve challenges faced by customers throughout the entire supply chain, as a growth area.
In the Contract Logistics business, which addresses the entire logistics operations and management challenges of corporate clients, the Yamato Group will expand the value we provide, including the operation of inventory and distribution centers in B2B logistics, and integrated logistics centers for e-commerce operators, by also leveraging the expertise of Nakano Shokai Co., Ltd., which became a consolidated subsidiary. In addition, as a foundation for business growth, we will promote the utilization and expansion of “Integrated Business Solution Centers,” which combine sorting, transportation and delivery functions with logistics functions across logistics bases nationwide. By utilizing these centers, which are integrated with a robust nationwide transportation and delivery network, and by contributing to the optimization of clients’ entire supply chains and their business strategies, we will further drive the expansion of Corporate business.
In the Global business, by integrating international transportation with overseas Contract Logistics, the Yamato Group is advancing the value provision across clients’ entire supply chains. We will strengthen our sales capabilities primarily in North America, China and Southeast Asia, and will promote efficiency improvements in international forwarding, strengthen proposals to cross-border e-commerce operators, and capture logistics demand associated with the expansion of domestic demand in Japan, while also considering M&A and strategic business alliances.
Commercialization of new business models
Toward the realization of a sustainable future, the Yamato Group has been addressing environmental and social challenges, including the medium to long-term shortage of transportation capacity becoming more serious, as well as climate change, and has actively collaborated with business partners to resolve these challenges, thereby accumulating knowledge and expertise in areas such as the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, building efficient logistics systems, and employee health management. We will further refine these capabilities as our “Green Mobility” business model, thereby driving new growth for the Yamato Group.
Specifically, we will promote the expansion of “EV Lifecycle Services” that support the introduction and operation of EVs, as well as energy-related businesses, including the supply of renewable energy mainly through Yamato Energy Management Co., Ltd. In addition, through initiatives such as the development of an open platform for joint transportation and delivery in which diverse stakeholders participate, and health management support services for automobile transportation operators, the Yamato Group will contribute to improving sustainability across the logistics industry and resolving its challenges.
Strengthening our Group management platform
The Yamato Group will continue to promote its HR, digital and environmental & social strategies, as well as initiatives such as strengthening sustainable management and corporate governance.
As for our HR strategy, the Yamato Group is promoting investments aimed at further improving employee compensation, including Sales Drivers, as well as enhancing the work environment. Moreover, in order to further strengthen frontline organizations and personnel who engage directly with customers, we are promoting the allocation of personnel to TA-Q-BIN sales offices and corporate sales branches, while improving operational efficiency in administrative departments and streamlining organizational structures, and are focusing on the development of leadership personnel. Furthermore, to enhance employee engagement, we will promote revisions to our remuneration scheme so that compensation is determined based on performance, for employees in functions such as sales and planning.
As for our digital strategy, we will fully implement the newly introduced “AI and data-driven management,” aiming to improve productivity across the entire operation through the optimal allocation of management resources based on data utilization, and greater efficiency in back-office operations, while strengthening earnings capability by creating new customer experience value. In addition, we will promote the development of talent that serves as the core drivers of AI utilization across each organization.
In strengthening sustainable management, based on the two visions of "Connect. Deliver the future via green logistics" and helping to create a society that "leaves no one behind" through co-creation and fair business activities, which aim to enhance corporate value over the medium to long term and realize a sustainable society, the Yamato Group will continue to strengthen initiatives addressing the key issues that we have identified materiality.
In the environmental domain, toward the achievement of “net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 (own emissions)” and “48% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (compared with the fiscal year ended March 2021),” the Yamato Group will continue to promote initiatives such as the “introduction of EVs,” the “installation of solar power generation equipment,” and “increase the use of electricity derived from renewable energy,” while also working on the identification of actual GHG emissions across the supply chain (Scope 3) and setting reduction targets.
In the social domain, we will continue to place the highest priority on respecting and protecting human life, and strengthen initiatives related to the safety and health of employees and partners, while promoting the development of workplace environments where diverse employees can thrive. Furthermore, we will address social challenges, and promote the development of a sustainable supply chain based on appropriate relationships, by engaging in regular communication with business partners, as well as establishing frameworks, processes, and systems for the early identification and resolution of issues.
In enhancing our corporate governance, we will continue to separate management supervision and execution, while maintaining and enhancing management transparency. We will sophisticate the management and administration of our business, and strive to sustainably enhance our corporate value through constructive dialogue with shareholders and investors and the enrichment of our disclosure.
Embedding business management with a stronger focus on capital efficiency
The Yamato Group uses operating profit margin, ROE (return on equity) and ROIC (return on invested capital) as its management metrics, in order to achieve capital profitability that is above our cost of capital, by embedding management that places a stronger focus on capital efficiency, together with promoting the strategic initiatives outlined in 1 to 4 above. In addition to improving the profitability of our business and accelerating profit growth, we will work to strengthen balance sheet management and optimize cash flow, thereby enhancing capital efficiency, and building the foundation for improving EPS (earnings per share) and growing shareholder value.
During the current medium-term management plan period, we will make growth investments in our facility strategy and the promotion of AI and DX that contributes to making our operations more efficient, while making environmental investments in EVs, solar power generation equipment etc., to realize a low-carbon society by providing customers with logistics services that have low environmental impact, as well as improving the energy efficiency of our operations. In the growth areas of Contract Logistics and Global businesses, we will make use of M&A and strategic business alliances, together with organic growth measures.
In order to financially support the above plans, we will strengthen balance sheet management, consider the securitization etc. of non-current assets, while being mindful of our financial soundness and efficiency, including the status of cash generation, the status of cash & deposits, shareholders’ equity ratio etc., as well as making effective use of funds within the Group, and raising funding through loans from financial institutions and bond issuances if necessary. From the perspective of financial soundness, we will use around 45% for the shareholders’ equity ratio, and around 0.3-0.5 times for the D/E (debt to equity) ratio as our benchmarks. As for shareholder return, we will target 40% or above in dividend payout ratio, based on profit attributable to owners of parent. We will flexibly consider share buybacks, based on factors including progress in growth investments, cash flow trends, our share price, etc.
- Summary of Operating Results
- Fundamental Approach to Selection of Accounting Standards
The Yamato Group has adopted Japanese GAAP because the Group engages in business primarily in Japan. However, we intend to give ongoing consideration to IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and other accounting standards aligned with upcoming expansion into other locations overseas.

Special note on the application of equity method
The fiscal year-end dates of certain entities accounted for using the equity method differ from the consolidated fiscal year-end date, and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the financial statements and provisional financial results for the respective fiscal years of each of those entities.

(Segment information, etc.)Segment information
Summary of reportable segment
The reportable segments of the Yamato Group are constituent units of the Yamato Group whose separate financial information can be obtained. The Board of Directors of the Company periodically examines these segments to decide on the allocation of management resources and evaluate business performance.
The Yamato Group has established its management structure under the pure holding company, based on the medium-term management plan “Sustainability Transformation 2030 ~1st Stage~”, which was formulated with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 as the final year, and has divided its segments based on its main lines of business and related services.
As a result, our four reporting segments are “Express Business”, “Contract Logistics Business”, “Global Business” and “Mobility Business”.
Type of services by reportable segment
Reportable segment
Type of services
Express Business
Parcel deliveries for individual and corporate clients, truck transportation business, roll box pallet charter transportation business
Contract Logistics Business
Third party logistics, real estate
Global Business
Truck transportation for corporate clients, planning and operation of
logistics centers, customs clearance, air freight forwarding
Mobility Business

Other

business, financial service
Method of calculating operating revenue, profit/loss, assets and other items by reportable segment The accounting method used for reported business segments complies with accounting policy that has been adopted in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(Change in method of calculation)
To better assess profit and loss by reporting segment, the allocation method for head office-related expenses of Yamato Transport Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary, has been changed in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. If this change had been applied retroactively to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, segment profit (loss) would have increased by 2,303 million yen in the Express business, and decreased by 374 million yen in the Contract Logistics business and by 1,928 million yen in the Global business. This change has no impact on the figures reported in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
