GS Yuasa Reports Modest Sales Growth Amid Challenges

GS Yuasa Corporation ( (GYUAF) ) has released its Q4 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information GS Yuasa Corporation presented to its investors.

GS Yuasa Corporation, a prominent player in the battery manufacturing industry, specializes in the production and marketing of automotive and industrial batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, for a global market. In its latest earnings report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, GS Yuasa Corporation announced a modest increase in net sales by 3.1% to ¥580,340 million. However, profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 5.1% to ¥30,416 million, primarily due to increased income taxes and impairment losses. The company’s operating profit saw a significant rise of 20.3%, reaching ¥50,028 million, driven by higher sales in automotive and industrial battery segments and effective sales price revisions. Despite the challenges, GS Yuasa’s strategic focus on expanding its automotive battery sales, particularly in Europe and Southeast Asia, and the industrial battery segment, contributed positively to its financial performance. Looking ahead, GS Yuasa Corporation anticipates continued growth, projecting record-high sales and profits for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, with a focus on increasing sales of lithium-ion batteries for electrified vehicles and addressing cost increases through strategic pricing measures.
