For cumulative third quarter of the current consolidated fiscal year, the group’s revenue was ¥784,867 million (105.4% that of the corresponding period of the previous year), operating profit was ¥53,204 million (106.8%), and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥35,016 million (112.8%).
During the period, the Japanese economy benefited from improvements in the employment and income conditions, as well as steady corporate capital investment. Meanwhile, the outlook remained uncertain due in part to rising commodity prices, large exchange fluctuations, and the impact of the US presidential election on global conditions.
The Group is focusing on digital and semiconductor-related businesses and industrial gas-related businesses in overseas countries such as India and North America, which are positioned as growth areas. In December 2024, the Group started the business of “The Forest of AIR WATER”, an open innovation promotion facility, in Sapporo, which is one of the Group’s founding locations. It will work to create new businesses that will contribute to the solution of local issues with a focus on energy and the environment as well as agriculture and food through cooperation with universities and research institutions, local governments, companies, startups, and other organizations.
Some businesses experienced an adverse impact from the sluggish semiconductor market during the period under review. Meanwhile, initiatives such as the repricing of industrial gases implemented in the past, the acquisition of new customers, and activities in the overseas industrial gas business and agricultural sector made steady progress. All segments achieved an increase in sales and profit, leading to a record high nine-month result.
