      There were no material changes in the Company's business nor were there any material changes in associates during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

  2. Business Overview
  1. Risk Factors

    For the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no major risks that the management recognizes as having the potential to materially affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows (hereinafter, "results of operations") presented in "2. Business Overview" or "4. Financial Information."

    There were no material changes in the information described in the Risk Factors section of the Annual Securities Report for the year ended December 31, 2024.

  2. Analysis of Consolidated Financial Position, Results of Operations, and Cash Flows by Management Effective from the beginning of this current consolidated fiscal year, the Company 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 reportable segment. To reflect this change in this Earnings release, year-on-year comparisons are calculated based on the figures after the reclassification.

    1. Analysis of Results of Operations

      For the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenue of the Company decreased by ¥124.7 billion [7.9%] from the same period in the prior year to ¥1,454.9 billion.

      Domestic revenue increased by ¥26.6 billion [8.7%] from the same period in the prior year to ¥332.3 billion because of increased revenue from Farm & Industrial Machinery and Water & Environment.

      Overseas revenue decreased by ¥151.3 billion [11.9%] from the same period in the prior year to ¥1,122.6 billion because of decreased revenue from Farm & Industrial Machinery.

      Operating profit decreased by ¥64.3 billion [31.0%] from the same period in the prior year to ¥143.0 billion mainly due to decreased sales in mostly North America of Farm & Industrial Machinery and an increase in net foreign exchange losses. Profit before income taxes decreased by ¥65.3 billion [30.1%] from the same period in the prior year to ¥151.5 billion. Profit for the period decreased by ¥46.7 billion [28.5%] to ¥117.4 billion, reflecting income tax expenses of ¥34.8 billion and share of profits of investments accounted for using the equity method of ¥0.7 billion. Profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by ¥58.3 billion [38.7%] from the same period in the prior year to ¥92.5 billion.

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

      1. Farm & Industrial Machinery

        Farm & Industrial Machinery is composed of farm equipment, agricultural-related products, engines, and construction machinery.

        Revenue in this segment decreased by 9.7% from the same period in the prior year to ¥1,267.4 billion, which accounted for 87.1% of consolidated revenue.

        Domestic revenue increased by 12.1% from the same period in the prior year to ¥174.1 billion mainly due to increased sales of farm equipment and agricultural-related products.

        Overseas revenue decreased by 12.4% from the same period in the prior year to ¥1,093.3 billion. In North America, the sales of construction machinery decreased because of a backlash of the inventory replenishment in the previous year and the sales of tractor also decreased due to a slowdown in both the residential and the agriculture market. In Europe, although the sales decreased due to the market shrinkage, the degree of the shrinkage is easing and the construction machinery market has begun to bottom out. In Thailand, the sales decreased due to the shrinkage of the dryland market caused by the crop price decline although the sales in the rice market were steady. In India, the sales of tractor increased thanks to the sufficient crop yields and water storage.

        Operating profit in this segment decreased by 27.6% from the same period in the prior year to ¥148.3 billion mainly due to the losses caused by sales decrease mainly in North America and an increase in net foreign exchange losses.

      2. Water & Environment

        Water & Environment is composed of pipe system business (ductile iron pipes, plastic pipes, and other products), industrial products business (reformer and cracking tubes, spiral-welded steel pipes, air-conditioning equipment and other products), and environment business (environmental control plants, pumps, and other products).

        Revenue in this segment increased by 7.2% from the same period in the prior year to ¥179.6 billion, which accounted for 12.3% of consolidated revenue.

        Domestic revenue increased by 5.9% from the same period in the prior year to ¥150.3 billion due to increased sales mainly in environment business and industrial products business.

        Overseas revenue increased by 14.0% from the same period in the prior year to ¥29.3 billion due to increased sales in industrial products business mainly.

        Operating profit in this segment increased by 78.8% from the same period in the prior year to ¥19.2 billion due to sales price increase and sales increase.

      3. Other

      Other is mainly composed of a variety of other services.

      Revenue in this segment decreased by 7.0% from the same period in the prior year to ¥8.0 billion and accounted for 0.6% of consolidated revenue.

      Operating profit in this segment decreased by 38.5% from the same period in the prior year to ¥0.6 billion.

    2. Analysis of Financial Position

      Total assets as of June 30, 2025, were ¥5,665.5 billion, a decrease of ¥353.1 billion from the prior fiscal year-end. Assets decreased due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents mainly.

      Total liabilities also decreased from the prior fiscal year-end due to a decrease in bonds and borrowings mainly. Equity decreased due to a decrease in other components of equity because of the fluctuations mainly in foreign exchange rates.

      The ratio of equity attributable to owners of the parent to total assets stood at 42.4%, 1.2 percentage points higher than the prior fiscal year-end.

    3. Analysis of Cash Flows

      Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025, was ¥142.8 billion, an increase of

      ¥13.4 billion in net cash inflow compared with the same period in the prior year. This increase resulted mainly from a decrease in working capital and finance receivables, although the profit for the period decreased.

      Net cash used in investing activities was ¥80.0 billion, a decrease of ¥45.9 billion in net cash outflow compared with the same period in the prior year. This resulted from a decrease in expenditures related to acquisition and sales of property, plant, and equipment, a decrease in the expenditure for acquisition of intangible assets and so forth.

      Net cash used by financing activities was ¥142.9 billion, a decrease of ¥189.7 billion in net cash inflow compared with the same period in the prior year mostly due to an increase in repayments of bonds and borrowings and a decrease in funding.

      As a result of the above and after taking into account the effects of exchange rate changes, cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, were ¥200.9 billion, a decrease of ¥94.3 billion from the beginning of the current period.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Kubota Corporation and Its Subsidiaries

  1. REPORTING ENTITY

    Kubota Corporation (the "Parent Company") is an entity located in Japan. The Parent Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company") are manufacturing and sales companies, with a comprehensive range of products related to farm equipment, engines, construction machinery, pipe system, industrial products, environment and other.

    The Company's products are manufactured not only in Japan, but also in overseas countries, including the United States, France, Germany, China, Thailand, and India, and sold in Japan, North America, Europe, Asia, and other area.

  2. BASIS OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    Compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards

    The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 pursuant to the Article 312 of the Ordinance on Terminology, Forms, and Preparation Methods of Consolidated Financial Statements (the "Ordinance"), since the Company meets the requirements for a Specified Company under Designated International Financial Reporting Standards as prescribed in Article 1-2 of the Ordinance. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all the information and disclosures required for a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

    Functional Currency and Presentation Currency

    The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in Japanese yen, the functional currency of the Parent Company, and figures are rounded to the nearest million yen.

    Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions

    The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared by using judgments, estimates, and assumptions relating to the application of accounting policies and reporting of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those accounting estimates and assumptions.

    The estimates and assumptions are continually reviewed. The effects of a change in accounting estimates, if any, are recognized in the reporting period in which the change is made and in future periods.

    Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions used in the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year.

    Changes in Presentation

    Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

    "Dividends paid to noncontrolling interests" previously included in "Other, net" in cash flows from financing activities is presented separately from the year ended December 31, 2024, as the amount became material. To reflect this change in presentation, the comparative information has been retrospectively adjusted. As a result, net cash outflow of ¥5,819 million presented as "Other, net" in cash flows from financing activities in the year ended June 30, 2024, is separately presented as net cash outflow of ¥5,532 million for "Dividends paid to noncontrolling interests" and net cash outflow of ¥287 million for "Other, net."

  3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The accounting policies applied on the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

    Income taxes for the condensed consolidated financial statements are calculated based on the estimated annual effective tax rate.

  4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company provides a wide variety of products and services across its three reportable segments: Farm & Industrial Machinery, Water & Environment, and Other. Farm & Industrial Machinery mainly manufactures and sells farm equipment, agricultural-related products, engines, and construction machinery. Water & Environment mainly manufactures and sells products related to pipe systems (ductile iron pipes, plastic pipes, and other products), industrial products (reformer and cracking tubes, spiral welded steel pipes, air-conditioning equipment, and other products), and environment (environmental control plants, pumps, and other products). Other segment mainly offers a variety of services.

These three reportable segments represent the Company's organizational structure, which is principally based on the nature of products and services, and the financial information by reportable segment is reviewed periodically by the chief operating decision-maker in determining allocation of resources and evaluating performance. The accounting policies for the reportable segments are consistent with the accounting policies used in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Information by reportable segment is summarized as follows:

    Debt financial assets and equity financial assets classified as Level 1 are measured at fair value using quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.

    Derivatives are classified as Level 2 since they are measured at fair value using observable market inputs obtained from major international financial institutions.

    Equity financial assets and debt financial assets classified as Level 3 are unlisted equity securities, which are measured by the comparable company comparison method, using the earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) ratio (from 6.2 to 13.5) as a multiple, and by other method. As the EBIT ratio increases (decreases), the fair value increase (decrease).

    Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period when such transfers occur. There were no significant transfers between levels of financial instruments held at the end of each reporting period.

    The following table presents reconciliation of financial instruments classified as Level 3:

  9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

    Commitments

    Commitments for acquisition of property, plant, and equipment amounted to ¥74,943 million and ¥78,275 million as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

    Legal Proceedings

    Since May 2007, 69 asbestos-related lawsuits have been filed against the Company, the Japanese government, and other asbestos-related companies.

    Of these lawsuits, two were withdrawn, and all claims against the Company were rejected and finalized for eight lawsuits consolidating 25 cases.

    42 lawsuits related to 207 construction workers who suffer from asbestos-related diseases are still ongoing, and the total claim for all the remaining lawsuits aggregated to ¥6,103 million. Of these ongoing lawsuits, six first instance judgments have been rendered in 19 lawsuits, and the Company was ordered to pay compensation damages of ¥2 million in one judgment and the other five judgments were decided in favor of the Company. All lawsuits included in these six judgments are being heard on the second instance. The court in the second instance rendered a judgment to support the opinion of the first instance for lawsuits included in one of the five judgments that were decided in favor of the Company. This lawsuit has been appealed to a higher court.

    The Company continues to review the status of lawsuits, including consultation with a third-party legal counsel regarding the progress of lawsuits and the likely final outcome. However, the Company believes that it is currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome of lawsuits.

    The Company does not have any cost-sharing arrangements with other potentially responsible parties, including the Japanese government.

    Matters Related to the Health Hazards of Asbestos

    The Company's plant in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, previously produced asbestos-related products. The Company decided to make voluntary consolation payments in June 2005 and established a relief payment program in April 2006 as a voluntary consolation payment to patients of asbestos-related diseases near the plant. With regard to the current and former employees who suffered and are suffering from asbestos-related diseases, the Company provides compensation, which is not required by law, but is made in accordance with the Company's internal policies.

    In an effort to estimate future asbestos-related expenditures, the Company has considered all available data, including a time series data of historical claims and payments, the incidence rate of asbestos-related disease, and other public information related to asbestos-related disease. However, since the health hazards of asbestos tend to have a longer incubation period, reliable statistics to estimate the incidence rate of asbestos-related disease are not available to the Company. Furthermore, there are no cases where final conclusions are made to the cause and the incidence rate of asbestos-related health hazard at other asbestos-related companies. Hence, the Company believes there is no information to determine the range of the final possible outcome in the future. For these reasons, the Company believes it is not possible to reliably estimate the amount of its ultimate liability, and the Company does not accrue on this contingency.

    The Law for the Relief of Patients Suffering from Asbestos-Related Diseases (the "New Asbestos Law") was established by the Japanese government in March 2006. The purpose of this law is to provide prompt relief to persons who sustain asbestos-related diseases but are not relieved by compensation for accidents under workmen's compensation insurance. Contributions under this law are made by the Japanese government, local authorities and business entities.

    Contributions by business entities commenced from the year ended March 31, 2008, and these include special contributions by business entities which operated a business closely to asbestos.

    The Company accrues asbestos-related expenses when the Company receives claims on voluntary consolation payment, relief payment, compensation for current and former employees, and the special contribution in accordance with the New Asbestos Law. The accrued balances for asbestos-related expenses are ¥165 million and ¥136 million as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The asbestos-related expenses recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were ¥268 million and ¥462 million, respectively.
