  1. Review of operations and financial results

    Kubota Corporation and Its Subsidiaries

    Effective from the beginning of this current consolidated fiscal year, Kubota Corporation changed the business reporting structure due to the organizational reform, which was implemented on January 1, 2025. Consequently, certain corporate expenses that were formerly included in the "Adjustment" have been included in each business segment. To reflect this change in this Earnings release, year-on-year comparisons are calculated based on the figures after the reclassification.

    1. Summary of the results of operations for the nine-month period

      For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenue of Kubota Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, the "Company") decreased by ¥73.6 billion (3.2%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥2,204.3 billion.

      Domestic revenue increased by ¥44.6 billion (9.8%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥501.9 billion because of increased revenue from Farm & Industrial Machinery and Water & Environment.

      Overseas revenue decreased by ¥118.3 billion (6.5%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥1,702.4 billion because of decreased revenue from Farm & Industrial Machinery.

      Operating profit decreased by ¥60.7 billion (22.0%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥214.7 billion. This result was mainly due to the decreased sales in Farm & Industrial Machinery and the deterioration of sales mix, although the cost increase due to US tariffs was dealt with through incentive reduction and additional price increase. Profit before income taxes decreased by ¥60.2 billion (20.9%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥227.8 billion. Profit for the period decreased by ¥51.6 billion (23.7%) to ¥166.1 billion, reflecting income tax expenses of ¥63.5 billion and share of profits of investments accounted for using the equity method of ¥1.8 billion. Profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by ¥56.0 billion (28.3%) from the same period in the prior year to ¥142.0 billion.

      Revenue from external customers and operating profit by each reportable segment were as follows:

        Domestic revenue increased by 13.5% from the same period in the prior year to ¥266.1 billion mainly due to increased sales of farm equipment and agricultural-related products.

        Overseas revenue decreased by 6.8% from the same period in the prior year to ¥1,661.1 billion. In North America, the sales of construction machinery (hereinafter, the "CE") decreased because of the adverse reaction to the inventory replenishment in the previous year. The sales of tractor also decreased due to a slowdown in the market, but there was a slight recovery in the residential market and the agricultural market was steady thanks tothe stable livestock commodity prices. In Europe, the sales of tractor decreased due to the stagnant market, but the CE market bottomed out and the sales also started to increase. In Thailand, the sales decreased due to the shrinkage of both the dryland market and the rice market caused by the crop price decline. In India, the market has been well thanks to the sufficient crop yields and rainfall, and the sales of tractor increased.

        Operating profit in this segment decreased by 25.4% from the same period in the prior year to ¥216.5 billion. This result was mainly due to the decreased sales mostly in North America and the deterioration of sales mix, although the cost increase due to US tariffs was dealt with through incentive reduction and price increase.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was ¥210.7 billion,

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥109.6 billion, a decrease of ¥22.6 billion in net cash outflow compared with the same period in the prior year. This resulted mainly from a decrease in expenditures related to acquisition of property, plant, and equipment.

Net cash used by financing activities was ¥167.1 billion, an increase of ¥163.7 billion in net cash outflow compared with the same period in the prior year mostly due to an increase in repayments of bonds and borrowings.

As a result of the above and after taking into account the effects of exchange rate changes, cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, were ¥222.1 billion, a decrease of ¥73.0 billion from the beginning of the current period.
