Results at a glance

  • Net income edged up +1.1% to ¥374.6B, from ¥370.6B.
  • Operating cash flow swung from ¥2.79T to -¥10.3T, and free cash flow fell to -¥10.6T.

What drove the change

  • Rising domestic interest rates improved investment returns, and the banking and life insurance segments performed well
  • Falling mail volumes and higher prices and wages pushed costs up
  • Postal and logistics revenue grew on more Yu-Pack and Yu-Packet parcels, higher unit prices after the postage rate change, and the consolidation of JP Tonami Group

Things to watch

  • The postal and logistics business keeps posting operating losses; if that continues, the group may have to write down its fixed assets
  • Japan Post lost its general cargo trucking license; another legal violation could bring heavier penalties and damage trust in the network
  • If digital adoption shrinks mail volumes faster than expected, rate increases may not make up for lost revenue
