Overview of operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2025
In the business environment for trucks for the six months ended September 30, 2025, the domestic market remained firm, but demand continued to decrease in Thailand, Indonesia, etc. In addition, in the business environment for construction machinery, hydraulic excavators remained firm, but demand for equipment other than hydraulic excavators (machinery for mines and wheel loaders) was sluggish in export markets.
Under these circumstances, the Group is steadily promoting initiatives based on the medium-term business plan
, which spans from FY2024 to FY2028, and is achieving positive results. These initiatives include promoting sales expansion activities and maximizing value, improving productivity, and promoting streamlining activities through growth investments.In the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded net sales of 92,264 million yen (down 3.2% year on year), operating profit of 5,537 million yen (up 8.7% year on year), ordinary profit of 5,702 million yen (up 4.4% year on year) and profit attributable to owners of parent of 3,124 million yen (down 8.2% year on year).
Business performance by segment is as follows.
(Automotive-Related Business)Domestic demand for heavy- and medium-duty trucks increased by 700 vehicles year on year, to 36,700 vehicles, and light-duty trucks decreased by 7,500 vehicles year on year, to 33,900 vehicles. At the Group in Japan, net sales of components for heavy-and medium-duty trucks increased year on year due to strong sales by customers and net sales of components for light-duty trucks remained flat year on year due to the impact of differences in product composition.
Overseas, in Thailand, net sales decreased year on year due to the decline in sales volume caused by continued stricter loan screening for car purchases. In the United States, net sales decreased year on year due to the downsizing of the panel business for some customers based on a review of the business portfolio. However, in Indonesia, although demand continued to decrease, net sales remained at the same level year on year due to the customer composition. In Sweden, net sales increased year on year mainly due to new sales expansion of EV components and other products.
As a result of the above, net sales in this segment amounted to 75,253 million yen (down 4.6% year on year), and segment profit amounted to 6,898 million yen (up 1.6% year on year).
(Construction Machinery-Related Business)In Japan, the production of hydraulic excavators remained steady, and despite sluggish demand at export markets for equipment other than hydraulic excavators, production and net sales of cabins at the Group in Japan increased year on year.
In China, domestic demand is on a recovery trend, and production and net sales increased year on year.
As a result of the above, net sales in this segment amounted to 17,168 million yen (up 7.3% year on year), and segment profit amounted to 394 million yen (segment loss of 105 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year).
