1. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Performance for the Period under Review

  1. Results of Operations

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2024, geopolitical risks caused by the prolonged invasion of Ukraine and rising tensions in the Middle East, as well as stagnant Chinese economy, among other factors, exerted downward pressure on the economic climate. However, mainly on the back of subsided high inflation, the global economy emerged from the stagnant period and started to show signs of a pickup.

In Europe, the impact of cumulative tightening of monetary policies had lessened. As a result, personal consumption continued to pick up and the economy started to show some signs of recovery.

In the U.S., although firm personal consumption supported the economy, the pace of economic expansion was moderate due to a slowdown in the labor market.

In China, the economy was lackluster due to the prolonged recession in the real estate sector and sluggish personal consumption.

In Japan, the economy continued to recover moderately, backed by a pickup in personal consumption in tandem with the improved income environment and rising demand from inbound tourists.

In this environment, demand for bicycles and fishing tackle continued to be weak, and for the first nine months of fiscal year 2024, net sales decreased 10.8% from the same period of the previous year to 334,879 million yen. Operating income decreased 29.7% to 50,651 million yen, ordinary income decreased 39.4% to 58,262 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of parent decreased 31.3% to 41,343 million yen.

Reportable Segment Overview

  • Bicycle Components

While the strong interest in bicycles continued as a long-term trend, retail inventories at retailers started to show signs of progress. However, market inventories of completed bicycles remained high.

Overseas, in the European market, retail sales of completed bicycles remained weak due to unfavorable weather conditions in early spring, and market inventories of completed bicycles remained at a somewhat high level.

In the North American market, retail sales softened, although interest in bicycles was firm and adjustments of market inventories of completed bicycles were progressing.

In the Asian, Oceanian and Central and South American markets, personal consumption continued to be sluggish, retail sales of completed bicycles were weak, and market inventories were at a high level. In the Chinese market, the popularity of cycling in general continued, retail sales of completed bicycles were favorable, especially for road bikes, and market inventories remained at an appropriate level.

In the Japanese market, retail sales were sluggish as affected by the soaring price of completed bicycles, and adjustments of market inventories continued.

Under these market conditions, the Shimano Group received a favorable reception for its products, including SHIMANO 105, a component for road bikes, and a gravel-specific component SHIMANO GRX.

As a result, net sales from this segment decreased 12.3% from the same period of the previous year to 253,861 million yen, and operating income decreased 26.1% to 41,342 million yen.

  • Fishing Tackle

Demand for fishing tackle that had been overly strong globally cooled down and sales remained weak. Meanwhile, adjustments of market inventories started to show signs of progress.

In the Japanese market, buying motives among fishing enthusiasts were firm. On the other hand, adjustments of market inventories continued, and sales were lackluster as affected by extreme heat and adverse weather conditions.

Overseas, in the North American market, sales were strong backed by stable demand, and market inventories progressed toward an appropriate level.

In the European market, sales continued to be weak, but there was progress in adjustments of market inventories.

In the Asian market, sales were lackluster as affected by a slowdown in personal consumption and adverse weather conditions, and market inventories remained high.

In the Australian market, backed by favorable weather and fishing conditions, sales were favorable and market inventories remained at an appropriate level.

Under these market conditions, the new baitcasting reels OCEA CONQUEST CT and the new spinning reels BB-X TECHNIUM FIRE BLOOD were well-received in the market. In addition, order-taking continued to be brisk for the spinning reels TWINPOWER.

As a result, net sales from this segment decreased 5.6% from the same period of the previous year to

  • Others

Net sales from this segment decreased 5.9% from the same period of the previous year to 327 million yen and operating loss of 14 million yen was recorded, following an operating loss of 31 million yen for the same period of the previous year.
