Consolidated Results (Full-Year Actual)

Net sales increased 42.3% due to the smooth progress of large-scale construction projects ordered in the previous years and strong sales of marine equipment and components. Operating income rose 61.2%: SG&A increased, but the increase in gross profit due to the increased net sales, cost improvements in completed construction projects in the engineering business, and after-sales services and construction in the industrial machinery business all contributed. The company notes that it carried out a three-for-one stock split of its common shares on April 1, 2025, and that earnings per share for the current period have been calculated assuming this stock split occurred at the beginning of the previous consolidated fiscal year.

Segment Results

In the Engineering business, orders received fell as some customers revised investment plans amid rising geopolitical risks including U.S. trade policy, resulting in the plans not being met; segment net sales and segment profit both increased, contributed by the order backlogs from previous fiscal years, mainly for domestic chemical plants (semiconductor material-related plants, etc. and sewage treatment facilities). In the Industrial Machinery business, orders for oil purifiers, their components and equipment compliant with ship environmental regulations remained at a high level due to a positive trend in the shipbuilding and shipping market. In the GX business, orders received increased significantly on projects related to hydrogen utilization, and segment profit turned into the black.
