  1. Overview of Results of Operations, Etc.

    1. Overview of Results of Operations for the First Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

      During the first quarter of the current fiscal year (January 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026), the Japanese economy as a whole was on a gradual recovery track, with a pickup in consumer spending against a backdrop of improved employment and income conditions, as well as a gradual pickup in capital investment. On the other hand, the outlook remained uncertain due to factors such as continued price hikes, raw materials and energy price trends, U.S. trade policy trends, as well as heightened geopolitical risks stemming from the increasingly tense situation in the Middle East.

      In the Japanese construction industry, where the Okabe Group's core customers operate, public investment remained firm and private capital investment also picked up moderately, but there were signs of stagnation in floor space, mainly for reinforced concrete. In addition, labor costs remained high due to a chronic shortage of construction workers and steel material prices remained high. The business environment remained challenging chiefly.

      In this business environment, OX-2026 (Okabe Transformation 2026), the medium-term management plan, entered its final year.

      The plan outlines three business strategies: "customer-centric initiatives" (prioritizing the development of a system to solve customers' problems and the implementation of initiatives to solve them), "human capital management" and strengthening of the management foundation, and "DX" (Digital Transformation). The Group has been working to bring the plan to a successful conclusion with the aim of achieving sustainable growth and enhancing corporate value.

      Operating results by business category of the Group are as follows.

      1. Construction-related products

        In the temporary building and formwork products and building materials business, sales of temporary building and formwork products remained sluggish amid a decline in the floor area of reinforced concrete construction projects, despite efforts to attract new customers. Meanwhile, net sales of building materials increased as a result of strong collaboration with distributors to capture demand.

        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. In structural products and materials, net sales of our mainstay products, column base products, decreased from the same period of the previous year due to intensified competition and sluggish sales for large properties, although sales for small and medium-sized properties increased.

        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 as a result of steady construction demand in the U.S. in anticipation of the expiration of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

        As a result, net sales of construction-related products increased 5.2% year on year, to 15,153 million yen. Operating profit, on the other hand, was 426 million yen (down 41.8% year on year), reflecting changes in the sales mix and an increase in SG&A expenses such as sales commissions and personnel costs.

      2. Other businesses

Net sales of industrial machinery products decreased from the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to a reactionary decline in sales of high-value-added products such as custom-made products in the same period of the previous fiscal year, although sales of mainstay products remained strong.

In marine material products, net sales decreased from the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a reactionary decline from large-scale projects in the same period of the previous fiscal year and the postponement of public works projects, despite efforts to win orders for the installation of large floating fish reef products, etc.

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, net sales in the other business decreased 19.3% year on year to 1,283 million yen. On the profit front, operating profit decreased 58.9% to 102 million yen due to the impact of lower sales and the absence of high value-added products and large projects in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Consequently, consolidated net sales for the first three months of the fiscal year under review increased 2.7% year on year, to 16,436 million yen, and consolidated operating profit declined 46.1% year on year, to 528 million yen. Consolidated ordinary profit decreased 45.1% year on year, to 579 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent dropped 28.1% year on year, to 534 million yen.
