Segment Performance Breakdown:

Social Infrastructure Sector

In the core public works sector, Maeda Kosen observed strong sales of its fill reinforcement materials and marine civil engineering products, primarily driven by the progress of large-scale projects. Additionally, revenue from riverbank protection materials and scenic materials remained stable, resulting in both increased sales and profits in this segment. While the sales of industrial materials for the automotive sector lagged, the demand for medical and sanitary products managed to offset the losses, leading to an overall growth in sales and profits for non-woven products.

In the agriculture and fisheries sector, slowdowns in certain agricultural materials, such as horticultural greenhouses, and a decline in processing prices within the fisheries segment contributed to reduced sales and profits compared to the previous fiscal year. Conversely, the company's overseas subsidiary, Maeda Kosen Vietnam Co., Ltd., benefitted from an expanded range of products, achieving stable orders and enjoying healthy sales and profit margins. Moreover, the financial contributions from two newly acquired subsidiaries in 2024 and 2025 further bolstered performance in this sector, culminating in an overall revenue of 36,395 million yen (up 14.9%) and operating income of 7,355 million yen (up 8.9%).

Industry Infrastructure Sector

For the automotive forged wheel business, the company reported robust performance driven by both original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supply to domestic automakers and aftermarket sales. Furthermore, sales in Europe through the overseas subsidiary BBS Motorsport GmbH also thrived, contributing remarkably to the segment's success.

The textiles and industrial materials segment faced challenges due to rising power costs and procurement prices, impacting overall costs. However, sales of precision wiping cloths and other products showed a strong recovery, leading this segment to report a revenue of 27,713 million yen (an increase of 14.8%) and an operating income of 6,010 million yen, reflecting a significant increase of 17.8% from the previous year.

Conclusion

In summary, Maeda Kosen continues to expand on its legacy since its establishment in 1972 as a key player in the infrastructure sector. The company's commitment to manufacturing and selling civil engineering materials and non-woven fabrics positions it as a comprehensive enterprise in geosynthetics, significantly contributing to the development of a safe and resilient society, and ultimately, a disaster-resistant nation.
