Overview of Operating Results and Others
Overview of operating results for the current fiscal year
During the current fiscal year, the business environment surrounding the Group saw delays in investment decisions stemming from U.S. tariff policies spread to the plastic production and processing machinery sector within the Industrial Machinery Business. Meanwhile, demand for defense-related equipment has increased under the government's policy to strengthen national defense capabilities. In the Material and Engineering Business, we saw rapid growth in AI and data centers, as well as an expansion of power-related investments driven by concerns over energy security.
Given these circumstances, the Group has defined its vision for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2034-ten years from now-under the banner of "Purpose." We aim to simultaneously achieve our sustainability goal of "contributing to the realization of a sustainable and prosperous world through the development and implementation of industrial machinery and new materials that solve social issues" and our financial goal of "growing into a corporate group with sales of 500.0 billion yen." We have set targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2029, which marks the midpoint of this journey. To address material issues and enhance sustainable corporate value, we formulated the mid-term management plan "JGP2028" and have been advancing our business activities based on this plan.
Regarding the Group's performance for the current fiscal year, total orders received amounted to 309,423 million yen (down 0.3% year-on-year), remaining at the same level as the previous year. This was due to a decrease in orders received in the Industrial Machinery Business, offset by an increase in the Material and Engineering Business. Net sales totaled 274,852 million yen (up 10.6% year-on-year), as an increase in the Industrial Machinery Business offset a decline in the Material and Engineering Business. In terms of profit, operating profit was 25,306 million yen (up 10.9% year-on-year), ordinary profit was 26,051 million yen (up 10.9% year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was 19,239 million yen (up 7.1% year-on-year).
The results by segment are as follows.
(Industrial Machinery Business)
Orders received totaled 248,213 million yen (down 4.0% year-on-year), as while orders for other industrial machinery, such as ELA equipment for FPD, increased, orders for defense-related equipment decreased due to a decline following a large-scale order in the same period of the previous year. Net sales and operating profit were 226,248 million yen (up 13.7% year-on-year) and 20,039 million yen (up 14.0% year-on-year), respectively, driven by a robust order backlog across the board.
