Results at a glance

  • Revenue for the FY ending Dec 2025 was ¥2.57T, essentially flat against ¥2.58T the year before (-0.1%).
  • Operating income grew from ¥49.1B to ¥51.5B (+4.9%), and gross profit was up +8.6%.
  • Net income attributable to owners, however, dropped from ¥31.7B to ¥2.69B, a -91.5% change.
  • Operating cash flow came to ¥208.7B (-8.4%) and free cash flow to ¥125.5B (-19.0%).

What drove the change

  • The acquisition of Simon Hegele added sales in Europe, while the integration of the domestic less-than-truckload business in Japan took sales away, leaving revenue roughly unchanged.
  • Operating profit improved thanks to cost cuts in the Japan business and higher volumes in distribution support (logistics products, vehicle maintenance, real estate). Europe's profit fell on rising costs.
  • Pretax income fell mainly because of currency effects, and operating cash flow shrank as income tax payments rose.

Things to watch

  • A global slowdown driven by US trade policy or instability in the Middle East could cut customers' shipping demand.
  • The company expects business-to-business freight demand in Japan, its core market, to decline as the population ages and shrinks.
  • If acquired businesses fall short of plan, the company may have to book goodwill impairment losses.
