    Review of Full Year Performance

    First Half:The shipping market remained firm; however, operating profit declined year-on-year due to the impact of prolonged port congestion.

    Operating Profit(Unit:100 million yen)

    207

    The dry bulk market softened early in the fiscal year due to uncertainty over

    U.S. trade policies, but the impact was viewed as limited, and the market remained generally firm from June onward.

    Despite market differentials and a stronger yen, earnings were constrained mainly by prolonged port congestion particularly for large vessels resulting in a year-on-year decline in operating profit.

    Second Half: The shipping market exceeded initial assumptions from the beginning of the calendar year, leading to a year-on-year increase in operating profit.

    The Capesize market strengthened from November, supported by solid iron ore and bauxite shipments to China, and remained relatively firm after the New Year compared with typical seasonal trends.

    Despite USD/JPY exchange rate saw increased volatility due to heightened Middle East tensions, the average exchange rate in the second half resulted in weaker yen, supporting higher operating profit.

    In addition, gains from the planned sale of aging vessels were recorded as extraordinary income,

    resulting in a 5.5 billion yen year-on-year increase in profit attributable to owners of parent.

    Full-year ROE reached 13.8%, exceeding 10% for the fifth consecutive fiscal year.

    The year-end dividend is expected to be ¥205 per share, an increase of ¥45 per share.

    The year-end dividend forecast has been revised upward from ¥160 per share to ¥205 per share. Together with the interim dividend, the annual dividend is expected to be total ¥310 per share.



  2. Overview of Results in FY2025

    International Shipping

    • As for large vessels, transportation demand for iron ore loaded in Brazil and bauxite loaded in West Africa bound for China remained strong. As transportation distances continued to increase, market conditions improved.

    • Due to a slightly stronger yen on a full-year average basis and a decrease in operating days, revenues declined year-on-year.

    • Foreign exchange valuation gains on foreign currency-denominated assets, together with gains on the sale of aging vessels as

      planned, led to in an increase of 5.5 billion yen in profit attributable to owners of parent.

      Coastal Shipping

    • Transportation volume of electric power related cargoes increased due to continued operation of thermal power plants.

    • Transportation volumes of steel raw materials and cement related cargoes declined due to production adjustments at steel mills and weaker construction demand due to labor shortages and rising material costs.

    • As a result of improved profitability through efficient vessel operations and relatively stable fuel prices until February, operating profit increased by 1.1 billion yen year-on-year.

  3. Forecasts for FY2026

    Earnings Forecast

    • The dry bulk market is expected to remain firm, supported by continued strong demand for iron ore shipments from Brazil and bauxite shipments from West Africa. Iron ore exports from the Simandou mine in Guinea, which commenced last November, is expected to contribute to longer average sailing distances and provide upward momentum to market conditions.

    • Rising fuel prices are a concern due to heightened tensions in the Middle East. However, freight rates for dedicated vessels in the international shipping segment are largely linked to bunker prices, and for free vessels, the impact on medium to long term earnings is expected to be limited through hedging using forward transactions. In contrast, in the coastal shipping segment, higher fuel prices are anticipated to be a risk factor, and a decline in earnings is expected.
