Overview of Results of Operations, Etc.
Overview of Results of Operations for the First Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
During the first quarter of the current fiscal year (January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025), the Japanese economy maintained a moderate recovery trend, driven by an improved employment and income environment attributable to wage hikes and an increase in inbound business. However, the outlook remained uncertain given factors such as sluggish personal consumption caused by soaring prices and unstable international conditions. In the Japanese construction industry, where the Okabe Group's core customers operate, public investment was firm, and the recovery of private investment showed a trend of recovery. However, the environment remained challenging chiefly due to soaring labor costs caused by a chronic shortage of construction workers and continued high steel material prices.
In this business environment, under OX-2026 (Okabe Transformation 2026), the medium-term management plan, the Group set customer-centric initiatives (prioritizing the development of a system to solve customers' problems and the implementation of initiatives to solve them), implementing human capital management and strengthening the foundation of management, and promoting digital transformation. With these three strategies as the cornerstones of our business strategy, we have been working toward the sustainable development of the company and the enhancement of its corporate value.
Operating results by business category of the Group are as follows.
Construction-related products
In temporary building and formwork products and building materials, net sales decreased year on year due to a decline in the floor area of reinforced concrete construction projects, despite efforts to expand sales of products related to the new formwork method with single pipe.
In civil engineering products and materials, net sales increased year on year as a result of efforts to capture demand for landslide prevention products against the backdrop of the government's policy to strengthen the national land infrastructure.
Net sales of structural products and materials increased from the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to strong sales of various products that contribute to labor saving for steel-framed buildings, capturing demand for large buildings such as logistics warehouses, despite the impact of a decrease in the number of small and medium-sized buildings.
In the building products and materials (overseas) business, net sales in the U.S. were strong compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to infrastructure-related construction demand.
As a result, sales in the construction-related products segment increased 1.3% year on year, to 14,406 million yen, and operating profit increased 14.0% year on year, to 733 million yen.
Other businesses
Net sales of industrial machinery products increased year on year as a result of efforts to expand sales of high value-added products such as custom-made products that meet customer needs.
Net sales of marine material products increased from the same period of the previous fiscal year due to orders for the recovery and installation of large floating fish reef products.
Net sales of automotive products decreased from the same period of the previous year, mainly due to a decline in the truck/trailer market.
As a result, sales in the other segment increased 10.0% year on year, to 1,590 million yen, and operating profit increased 57.6% year on year, to 248 million yen.
Consequently, consolidated net sales for the first three months under review increased 2.1% year on year, to 15,997 million yen, and consolidated operating profit expanded 22.6% year on year, to 981 million yen. Consolidated ordinary profit rose 23.6% year on year, to 1,055 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent grew 28.5% year on year, to 743 million yen.
