Maeda Kosen's Q3 Financial Report for Fiscal Year Ending June 2026

On May 14, 2026, Maeda Kosen Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, announced its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending June 2026, covering the period from July 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026. The report highlighted impressive growth in sales, showcasing the company’s resilience in the face of market challenges.

Q3 Financial Highlights

In the third quarter, Maeda Kosen reported consolidated sales of 54.25 billion yen, marking a remarkable 14.1% increase compared to the same period last year. Regarding profitability, operating income fell slightly by 4.3% to 9.718 billion yen, while ordinary income rose by 3.1% to 10.548 billion yen, largely due to foreign exchange gains. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company also increased by 3.2% to 7.226 billion yen.

Segment Performance

Maeda Kosen operates through two main segments: Social Infrastructure Business and Industry Infrastructure Business. Here's a closer look at the performance of each segment:

Social Infrastructure Business

This segment, primarily involved in civil engineering and construction materials, experienced robust growth driven by steady demand from public construction projects. Key products like embankment reinforcement materials and marine-related materials, such as pollution prevention membranes, contributed to significant sales gains. Overall, the segment reported sales of 35.87 billion yen, reflecting a 34.8% increase year-on-year, and operating income surged 19.2% to 7.109 billion yen.

Additionally, while there were some challenges in the fisheries processing business due to market price declines, two subsidiaries acquired in the previous year performed well, boosting overall results for this segment.

Industry Infrastructure Business

In the automotive forged wheel sector, BBS Japan, a subsidiary, compensated for a decrease in domestic OEM sales with a strong performance in international markets. The aftermarket sales, both domestic and international, progressed according to plan, resulting in year-on-year increases in sales and profits. However, sales from the European subsidiary, BBS Motorsport GmbH, encountered challenges from reduced sales following a significant previous contract, leading to lower profitability. Overall, the entire automotive forged wheel business remained on track.

The textile and various industrial materials segment saw consistent performance, particularly in the sales of key products like precision wiping cloths, resulting in sales figures exceeding those of the previous year. This segment reported sales of 18.38 billion yen, representing a 12.2% decrease year-on-year, with an operating income decline of 27.8% to 3.742 billion yen.

Conclusion

Maeda Kosen continues to adapt and thrive in a competitive industry landscape. With a focus on infrastructure development and manufacturing excellence, the company remains committed to contributing to a resilient society, ensuring safety and stability in community infrastructures.
