In its latest earnings report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, Komatsu Ltd. reported a 6.2% increase in net sales, reaching JPY 4,104.4 billion, and an 11.7% rise in net income attributable to the company, totaling JPY 439.6 billion. The company attributed these gains to improved selling prices and the depreciation of the Japanese yen, despite a decrease in sales volume in some sectors.
Key financial metrics highlighted in the report include an 8.2% increase in operating income to JPY 657.1 billion and a return on sales of 16.0%. The construction, mining, and utility equipment segment saw a 5.1% rise in sales, while the retail finance and industrial machinery segments experienced significant growth in profits, driven by increased interest income and sales of large presses, respectively.
Looking ahead, Komatsu has launched a new three-year strategic growth plan focusing on innovation, profitability, and business transformation. Despite anticipating challenges such as the appreciation of the Japanese yen and U.S. tariff policies, the company remains committed to enhancing its resilience and maintaining dividend payouts.
Overall, Komatsu Ltd. projects a decrease in both sales and profits for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, as it navigates external economic pressures and continues to invest in long-term growth strategies.
