Financial Highlights

  • The business environment surrounding our company remains severe. This includes the

    sluggish steel market due to China's overproduction and increased exports, as well as the impact of protectionist policies in various countries, including the United States.

    (Crude steel production volume: Approx. 21.50 million tonnes (as previously))

  • The cost of steel products is surging sharply due to factors including yen depreciation and the continued, significant rise in coking coal spot prices following the Australian cyclone in middle of January.

  • The annual forecast for business profit, segment profit, and profit attributable to owners of parent

    is expected to remain as previously announced.

    However, the business profit excluding inventory valuation, etc. is expected to be ¥170.0 billion, down ¥20.0 billion from the previous forecast.

  • The annual dividend for FY2025 is expected to be 80 yen per share based on the 8th Medium-term Business Plan (as previously announced).

Manufacturing: U.S. tariff policies and protectionist movements are risk factors that warrant close monitoring. Construction: Continues sluggishness persists due to rising construction costs and labor shortages.

  • U.S. tariff policy continues to pose a risk to vehicles bound for export. While the impact on

    Autom exports of finished vehicles and their production has been limited thus far, continued monitoring

    otive is necessary.

  • Domestic sales lack significant momentum, and current expectations show no major change

from the sales volume projected at the beginning of FY2025.

  • The demand environment remains firm, with domestic shipbuilders securing a backlog of orders exceeding three years.

  • Prolonged lead times due to labor shortages and working-hour regulations continue.

  • Moves toward capital alliances and collaborations to strengthen competitiveness in Japan's shipbuilding industry are becoming more active, requiring attention to future trends in investment and production efficiency.

  • Domestic demand in China remains sluggish, with high production and increased exports, while capacity expansion continues in ASEAN and South Asia, leading to weak market conditions across Asia.

  • Japan is also subject to Section 232 tariffs, anti-dumping (AD), and safeguard (SG) measures, limiting upward flexibility in sales. In addition, tariff policies in various countries have triggered the distribution of low-priced Chinese materials to third countries and a decline in market conditions, indicating that a challenging environment is likely to persist.

  • A series of U.S. tariff measures has caused significant disruptions to supply chains, creating an uncertain outlook.

  • In the ASEAN region, prolonged impacts from high interest rates and stricter loan assessments have delayed recovery, while sluggish domestic sales continue.
