At the end of December 2025: PBR 0.59 times (Share price ¥2,095)
Profit structure reform through sales price revisions, high added value, and efficiency
Cost-of-sales ratio: 72.1%, deterioration of 1.4% YoY・・・U.S. tariffs and ongoing increases in purchasing costs
Increased investment in human capital
Wage improvement and stabilized employment: Rise in wages (5.1% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, 6.0% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, 6.0% in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026), and improvements to personnel systems
Increasing on-site skilled laborers and improving working environments: Increase factory and service area employees (establish Nadeshiko Group, a
female-only workforce unit), and establish healthy working environments (installation of factory air conditioning systems).
Personnel system reform: Introduce internal recruitment and transfer request systems, and actively hire referrals and alumni.
Dealing with volatile demand
Inventory turnover: 2.16 times, down 0.05 times/2% YoY・・・Inventories: ¥13.0 billion → ¥12.1 billion
Currently strengthening adjustments to optimize inventory levels, as the Construction Machinery Market entered a period of adjustments amid slowdowns in the world economy.
Response to North American tariffs
Tariff costs of ¥200 million for the second half of the year have been factored into full-year performance forecasts
Sales prices revised from October orders onward to pass on costs
Currently preparing supply chain revisions 3
-
Mid- to Long-Term Growth Strategy
Make more significant inroads into the Asian market:
Expand the ASEAN market centered on our Indonesian hub (sales development in mine and pavement markets)
Expand the scope of overseas business:
Develop the overseas market for road maintenance equipment (increase in ODA initiatives, start local production, completion of standardization of the cement and asphalt emulsion stabilizer method in Indonesia)
Pursue business opportunities in North America:
Increase our market share through niche marketing (strengthen technical sales with differentiated products)
Develop next-generation businesses:
Focus on market development for emergency brakes, compaction management systems, and Automatic Cutter Control System.
Commercialization of autonomous rollers and EV rollers started (sales development for general civil engineering contractors)
-
Outlook for Business Environment
Global Construction Machinery Market
Although a phase of adjustment continues in the short term, potential demand for construction machinery is expected to remain stable in the medium to long term due to factors such as the Mid-term Plan for the Implementation of National Resilience and the doubling of defense buildup budget in Japan, large-scale infrastructure investment plans in the U.S., infrastructure investment and mine development becoming active in emerging countries, together with renewal of aging infrastructure and response to increasingly severe natural disasters. As a result, the Global Construction Machinery Market is expected to bottom out through an economic cycle.
Adapting to a Changing Business Environment
With power taking precedence over international law in reshaping international order, particularly between the U.S. and China, the global geopolitical environment remains uncertain.
Under these circumstances, the Group will respond to U.S. tariffs and modify our China-related supply chain, as well as strengthen our profit structure and human organizational capabilities, rebuild our competitive strategy, and engage in activities to raise the level of manufacturing quality with the goal of further solidifying the foundations of our management
during this period of demand adjustment to build our corporate structure in preparation for the market recovery period. 4

KPIs Established in the Medium-Term Management Policy
In the year ended March 31, 2024, upside factors enabled us to achieve the KPIs established in the medium-term management policy.
As the global Construction Machinery Market enters an adjustment phase, the addition of negative impacts from the U.S. tariff issue brings our current ROE forecast to 3.0%.
We will continue to promote profit structure reform aiming for ROE of 8% and PBR above 1.
