Results at a glance

  • Revenue for the FY ending Mar 2026 was ¥10.1T, up +15.7% from ¥8.7T.
  • Profits moved the other way: operating income dropped -55.7% to ¥242.9B, and net income attributable to owners dropped -95.1% to ¥17.2B.
  • Operating cash flow fell -26.7% to ¥716.9B, which did not cover ¥863.2B of capital spending, so free cash flow was -¥146.2B.

What drove the change

  • U.S. Steel became a consolidated subsidiary, which lifted steel segment revenue
  • Cheap exports from Chinese overcapacity kept global steel prices weak; thinner margins and weaker raw-material, overseas and group steel businesses cut steel profits, only partly offset by cost savings
  • A loss from business restructuring also weighed on bottom-line profit

Things to watch

  • Chinese overproduction and tariffs or trade measures could push steel supply, demand and prices further down
  • The company says it cannot yet estimate how the Middle East situation will affect results, since it can spread across many industries
  • If technology transfer or integration after acquisitions falls behind plan, goodwill could be written down
