Nippon Steel Corporation reported consolidated revenue of ¥8,695.5 billion and a business profit of ¥683.2 billion for fiscal 2024. Despite challenges such as a sluggish Chinese economy and falling prices of products and raw materials, the company aims to secure underlying business profit exceeding ¥700.0 billion by leveraging structural measures and completed capital investments.

NS Solutions Corporation, a subsidiary of Nippon Steel, reported a significant increase in profit for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, compared to the previous year.

Osaka Steel Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nippon Steel Corporation, reported differences in its non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to the previous year.
