Results at a glance

  • Revenue for FY ending Mar 2026 was ¥1.02T, down 2.8% from ¥1.05T.
  • Operating income dropped 18.2% to ¥84.2B, as both dry bulk and car carriers earned less.
  • Net income attributable to owners fell 56.5% to ¥133B. The biggest hit came from ONE, the container shipping affiliate, whose lower profit sharply cut K Line's equity-method income.
  • Free cash flow, on the other hand, rose 24.8% to ¥176.1B.

What drove the change

  • Dry bulk profit fell because of labor disputes at loading ports and higher costs
  • Car carrier profit fell as new US tariffs and trouble in the Middle East forced route changes and pushed up fuel and other operating costs
  • A wave of new container ships kept the market oversupplied and average freight rates below last year, so ONE's sales and profit fell. Energy resource transport earned more, partly because last year's impairment loss did not recur

Things to watch

  • A large share of revenue is in US dollars, so a stronger yen shrinks earnings in yen terms
  • Fuel is a big part of operating costs, so swings in oil prices move profits
  • Shifts in geopolitics and trade policy, including US-China tensions, could change cargo flows and rates, and disrupt shipbuilding and dry-docking in China
