Overview of Operating Results under Review
Overview of Operating Results
In the economic environment during the three months ended June 30, 2025, the economy in Japan showed a gradual recovery trend with consumer spending being seen to recover and both capital investment and production undergoing moderate improvement. Meanwhile, the outlook is uncertain due to factors such as the impact of continued price increases and U.S. trade policy. Overseas, while the U.S. economy expanded against a backdrop of strong employment and consumption, in China, the real estate market remained sluggish and the economy continued to stagnate.
Under these circumstances, the Group has been implementing various measures aimed at sustained growth by concentrating management resources on the core businesses of logistics and real estate based on the business strategy stated in the Medium-Term Business Plan for FY2023 to FY2025.
In the logistics business, we worked to expand our logistics bases by starting construction of a new warehouse in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka. In the real estate business, we expanded the scale of our revenue, such as acquiring a real estate property for lease in Joto-ku, Osaka. Furthermore, we proceeded to collect appropriate fees in response to rising costs across all aspects of our business.
As a result of these efforts, operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was ¥47,875 million (up 3.2% year on year) due to higher harbor transportation income and international transportation income, but operating profit was ¥2,739 million (down 14.3% year on year) due to factors such as increases in personal expenses, depreciation and taxes and dues. In addition, ordinary profit was ¥4,756 million (down 7.0% year on year) and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥3,155 million (down 3.6% year on year).
Segment results are as follows.
Logistics business
Although we made efforts to receive appropriate fees throughout business in general, in warehousing, warehouse income was ¥8,214 million (up 3.4% year on year) due to factors such as an increase in the handling of parts for transportation equipment. In harbor transportation, harbor transportation income was ¥8,366 million (up 9.1% year on year) due to an increase in general cargo handling and container cargo handling. In international transportation, international transportation income was ¥12,972 million (up 3.7% year on year) due to increases in international multimodal transportation and airfreight handling. In other operations, land transportation and other income was ¥15,796 million (up 0.7% year on year) mainly due to strong performance at the information system subsidiary.
As a result of the above, operating revenue for the logistics business as a whole was ¥45,349 million (up 3.5% year on year), but operating profit was ¥3,257 million (down 2.6% year on year) mainly due to increases in personnel expenses and depreciation, etc.
Real estate business
In the real estate business, although the real estate for lease acquired in the previous fiscal year made a contribution, operating revenue was ¥2,670 million (down 2.4% year on year) due to a decrease in rental income resulting from the departure of tenants from the Company's buildings eligible for compensation. Operating profit was ¥994 million (down 21.9% year on year) due to lower income and the occurrence of one-time taxes at the time of acquisition.
Notes: 1. The operating revenue for the segments above includes inter-segment revenue of ¥144 million (¥154 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year).
The operating profit for the segments above is the profit before deduction of company-wide expenses, etc., that do not belong to each segment, amounting to ¥1,512 million (¥1,423 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Overview of Financial Position
Assets, Liabilities and Net assets
Total assets decreased by 0.1% from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥439,566 million due to a decrease in "cash and deposits" resulting from dividend payments, despite an increase in "investment securities" associated with the rise in stock prices. Total liabilities decreased by 0.7% from the end of the previous fiscal year to
¥164,517 million, mainly due to a decrease in "income taxes payable" as a result of tax payments, despite an increase in "deferred tax liabilities" related to valuation differences on investment securities. While we recorded a profit, total net assets increased by 0.3% from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥275,049 million due to factors such as an increase in "valuation difference on available-for-sale securities" associated with rising stock prices, despite a decrease in "retained earnings" associated with the payment of year-end dividends and the purchase of treasury shares.
Cash Flows
(Cash flows from operating activities)
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥6,730 million (¥5,089 million provided in the same period of the previous fiscal year), mainly due to the recording of profit before income taxes and the retention of funds from depreciation.
(Cash flows from investing activities)
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥5,530 million (¥409 million used in the same period of the previous fiscal year), mainly due to the purchase of property, plant and equipment.
(Cash flows from financing activities)
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to ¥5,738 million (¥5,801 million used in the same period of the previous fiscal year), mainly due to dividend payments and the purchase of treasury shares.
The total consolidated net cash used in the three months ended June 30, 2025, including the above results and the "effect of exchange rate change on cash and cash equivalents" (decrease of ¥300 million), was a decrease of
¥4,839 million, resulting in a balance of ¥40,111 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period.
Explanation of Forward-Looking Statements such as Consolidated Forecasts
As results for the three months ended June 30, 2025 have been generally in line with plans, the consolidated earnings forecasts for the six months ending September 30, 2025 (interim period) and the full year have been maintained at the figures announced on May 9, 2025.
