SECOM CO ( (SOMLY) ) has released its Q2 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information SECOM CO presented to its investors.
SECOM CO., Ltd. is a leading company in the security industry, providing comprehensive safety, security, and convenience services aimed at creating a more secure society. The company operates across various sectors including security, fire protection, medical services, insurance, and geographic information services.
In its latest earnings report for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2025, SECOM CO. has reported a record high in consolidated sales, ordinary profit, and net income attributable to parent company shareholders. The company continues to focus on its 2030 vision, aiming to enhance growth by implementing various strategic initiatives.
Key highlights from the report include a 2.8% increase in consolidated sales, reaching 560.1 billion yen, driven by growth in the security services, fire protection, and medical services segments. However, operating profit saw a decline of 6.4% to 59 billion yen due to reduced profitability in the insurance and geographic information services sectors. Nevertheless, ordinary profit increased by 9.5% to 83.5 billion yen, bolstered by gains from investment partnerships, primarily in the U.S.
The fire protection segment experienced a significant rise in sales and operating profit due to increased sales of fire alarms and extinguishing equipment. Meanwhile, the insurance and geographic information services segments faced challenges, with declines in operating profit due to reduced investment income and increased costs. Despite these challenges, the company remains committed to meeting the diverse and evolving needs of its customers.
Looking forward, SECOM CO. has adjusted its full-year consolidated earnings forecast based on current performance, while continuing to expand its shareholder base and promote longer-term stockholding through a recent stock split and introduction of a shareholder benefits program.
