In its latest earnings report for the three months ending June 30, 2025, Shimadzu Corporation reported a modest increase in net sales by 1.2% year-on-year, reaching 118,370 million yen. However, the company faced a decline in ordinary profit and profit attributable to owners of the parent, with decreases of 17.3% and 20.7%, respectively.
Key highlights from the report include a notable performance in the Analytical & Measuring Instruments segment, which saw a 2.7% increase in net sales, driven by strong demand in the pharmaceutical and clinical testing markets. Conversely, the Medical Systems segment experienced challenges, with a significant 11.4% decline in net sales due to low order backlogs and delivery schedule adjustments. The Aircraft Equipment segment, however, showed robust growth with a 14.1% increase in net sales, supported by increased demand in the defense sector and commercial aircraft equipment.
Despite the mixed results, Shimadzu Corporation remains focused on strategic initiatives such as enhancing its supply chain and leveraging AI and IoT technologies to drive future growth. The company maintains its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, indicating a cautious yet optimistic outlook amid global economic uncertainties.
