Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. is a Japanese company engaged in the manufacturing of industrial machinery, mechatronics, logistics and construction equipment, and energy and lifeline systems. The company is known for its diverse product offerings and its commitment to sustainable development.
In its latest earnings report for the first half of 2025, Sumitomo Heavy Industries reported a decline in key financial metrics compared to the previous year. The company saw a decrease in net sales, operating profit, and ordinary profit, with net sales dropping to JPY 494.6 billion, a 4.9% decrease year-on-year. Operating profit fell by 35% to JPY 21.7 billion, and ordinary profit decreased by 40.2% to JPY 20.2 billion.
Despite the overall decline, the company experienced growth in certain segments. The Mechatronics segment saw a 9% increase in orders, driven by a recovery in demand for gear reducers and semiconductor-related products. The Energy & Lifeline segment also reported a significant 58% increase in orders, largely due to winning biomass power generation projects in Europe. However, the Industrial Machinery and Logistics & Construction segments faced challenges, with declines in sales and operating profits.
Looking ahead, Sumitomo Heavy Industries has revised its full-year forecast downward, anticipating a 2% decrease in net sales and a 9.3% drop in operating profit. The company remains focused on its Medium-Term Management Plan 2026, aiming to enhance corporate value through sustainable practices and strategic initiatives. Management is cautious about the recovery of semiconductor and hydraulic excavator markets, which have shown slower-than-expected improvement.
