In its latest earnings report for the nine months ending December 31, 2024, GS Yuasa Corporation reported a modest increase in net sales and operating profit, attributed to higher sales of automotive and industrial batteries. The company continues to navigate a challenging global economic landscape, marked by regional disparities in recovery and ongoing geopolitical concerns.

Net sales rose by 3.7% to ¥426,815 million, while operating profit increased by 8.2% to ¥31,775 million. The automotive batteries segment showed significant growth, with sales jumping 5.0% year-on-year, driven by increased demand in both domestic and international markets. Meanwhile, the industrial batteries and power supplies segment also performed well, recording a 4.6% rise in sales. However, the automotive lithium-ion batteries segment faced a decline due to reduced sales volumes and falling prices.

The company’s financial position remains strong with an increase in total assets and net assets, reflecting ongoing investments and strategic adjustments in pricing.

Looking ahead, GS Yuasa maintains a cautious yet optimistic outlook, expecting continued growth in the automotive and industrial battery segments. The company remains focused on enhancing its operational efficiencies and expanding its market presence to adapt to the evolving energy landscape.
