Overview of operating results for the fiscal year under review
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Japanese economy showed signs of improvement on the back of strong inbound demand and relatively favorable corporate business sentiment. On the other hand, the outlook remains uncertain due to deteriorating business sentiment in China and sluggish personal consumption in Japan. In the logistics industry, the severe business situation has continued due to the effects of labor shortage and increasing costs in personnel and energy expenses.
Under these circumstances, the Group's consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 were 247,890 million yen, up 11.5% from the previous fiscal year, partly due to an increase in business volume and contributions from M&A that were aggressively pursued.
Operating profit was 23,155 million yen, up 9.0% from the previous fiscal year. Ordinary profit was 23,969 million yen, up 0.4% from the previous fiscal year.
Profit attributable to owners of parent was 16,550 million yen, down 0.4% from the previous fiscal year.
Business results by segment are as follows. Transportation business
Sales were 117,963 million yen, up 17.5% from the previous fiscal year, mainly due to a recovery of business volume and the consolidation of U.S. company Supreme Auto Transport, LLC. Operating profit was 6,314 million yen, up 13.1% from the previous fiscal year.
Warehousing business
Sales were 40,881 million yen, up 5.2% from the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in the volume of cargo stored, which is the result of our ongoing efforts in Japan and overseas to establish or expand warehouses. Operating profit was 8,558 million yen, up 2.8% from the previous fiscal year, mainly due to the effects of higher personnel expenses and depreciation.
Packaging business
Sales were 57,364 million yen, up 6.6% from the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in business volume. Operating profit was 4,248 million yen, up 28.0% from the previous fiscal year, due to the effect of efficiency improvement of operations and higher sales.
Testing business
Sales were 24,152 million yen, up 5.6% from the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in business volume. Operating profit was 3,989 million yen, up 19.8% from the previous fiscal year, due to the effect of higher sales.

Future outlook
The Company expects that, as for the outlook for the future, although economic activity is showing signs of recovery, supported by inbound demand and other factors, the environment surrounding the Group is expected to remain challenging due to the chronic shortage of labor in Japan as well as the effects of the uncertain international situation.
Under these circumstances, the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 is the final year of "The 13th Medium-term Business Plan" formulated by the Group. For the final year of the above Plan, the year ending March 31, 2026, the Company forecasts the following performance, on a consolidated basis: net sales at 280,000 million yen, operating profit at 28,000 million yen, ordinary profit at 29,400 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent at 20,000 million yen.
The financial outlook above is based on the data that are available to the Company and certain assumptions that the Company believes rational. Actual results may vary significantly due to various factors.
- Basic policy on distribution of profits, and dividends in period under review and subsequent period
The Company's basic policy for dividend payments is to aim for a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 40%, and to pay progressive dividends, which means maintaining or increasing the total dividend amount for the full year compared to the previous fiscal year, without reducing it, in principle. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Company plans to pay term-end dividends of ¥27 per share and annual dividends of ¥54 per share, including interim dividend. The Company conducted a two-for-one share split of its shares on an effective date of October 1, 2024, and the aforementioned annual dividend amount of ¥54 takes into account the effect of this share split.
In addition, the Company has changed its dividend policy for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, to aim for a dividend on equity (DOE) of 4% or more, and to maintain or increase the annual dividend, in principle, without reducing the dividend from the previous year's result. As a result, the Company plans to pay a dividend of ¥74 per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (interim dividend of ¥37 per share and year-end dividend of ¥37 per share).

(Changes in accounting policies)
(Application of "Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes" and other relevant ASBJ regulations)
The Company has applied the "Accounting Standard for Current Income Taxes" (Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ) Statement No. 27, October 28, 2022; the "Revised Accounting Standard of 2022"), etc. from the beginning of the first three months of the fiscal year under review.
For the revision of the categories to record income taxes (taxation on other comprehensive income), we follow the transitional treatment defined in the proviso to paragraph 20-3 of the Revised Accounting Standard of 2022 and the transitional treatment defined in the proviso to paragraph 65-2 (2) of the Guidance on Accounting Standard for Tax Effect Accounting (ASBJ Guidance No. 28. October 28, 2022; the "Revised Guidance of 2022"). This change in accounting policies has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In addition, for changes related to the revised treatment in consolidated financial statements when a gain or loss on sale arising from the sale of shares of subsidiaries, etc. among consolidated companies is deferred for tax purposes, the Revised Guidance of 2022 has been applied from the beginning of the first three months of the fiscal year under review. This change in accounting policies has been applied retrospectively, and is reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year. This change in accounting policies has no impact on the consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year.
(Change in method of presentation) (Consolidated balance sheet)
During the previous fiscal year, "goodwill" was included in "other" under intangible assets. It is stated independently from the fiscal year under review, as it has become more important. To reflect this method of presentation, reclassification is made in the consolidated financial statements in the previous fiscal year.
As a result, 2,498 million yen under "intangible assets" in the previous fiscal year, is reclassified to 2 million yen in "goodwill" and 2,496 million yen in "other."
(Segment information)
Overview of reportable segments
The Company's reportable segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available, and which are evaluated regularly by the Board of Directors to determine allocation of management resources and assess performance.
The Company divides the services it provides into four reporting segments according to service type: Transportation, Warehousing, Packaging and Testing.
The Transportation segment engages in the transportation of finished four-wheeled vehicles and motorcycles, automotive parts, housing equipment, agricultural machinery and others. The Warehousing segment engages in the storage of finished four-wheeled vehicles and motorcycles, automotive parts, housing equipment, agricultural machinery and others. The Packaging segment engages in processing for distribution, the delivery of automotive parts and other goods on behalf of other parties, export packing and other operations. The Testing segment engages in testing finished four-wheeled vehicles and motorcycles, automotive parts, agricultural machinery and other goods.
Methods of calculating amounts of net sales, profit or loss, assets, liabilities, and other items by reportable segment Accounting procedures for the reportable segments are generally identical to those adopted for the consolidated financial statements. Profits in the reportable segments are operating profits. Transactions between the reportable segments are based on market prices.

Note: 1. The Company conducted a two-for-one share split of its common shares on October 1, 2024. Net assets per share, earnings per share and earnings per share after adjustment for the effects of dilutive potential shares are calculated based on the assumption that the share split was conducted at the beginning of the previous fiscal year.
Shares of the Company remaining in a trust, which are recorded as treasury shares in shareholders' equity, are included in the treasury shares that are deducted when calculating the average number of shares outstanding during the period for the purpose of calculating earnings per share and included in the treasury shares that are deducted from the total number of shares outstanding at the end of the period for the purpose of calculating net assets per share.
The average number of such treasury shares deducted when calculating earnings per share for the period was 68 thousand shares for the previous fiscal year and 98 thousand shares for the fiscal year under review. The number of such treasury shares at the end of the period, which was deducted in the calculation of net assets per share, was 98 thousand shares in the previous fiscal year and 98 thousand shares in the current fiscal year.
