Financial Highlights(Quarter)

During the fiscal year under review, the global economy continued to recover gradually due to easing inflationary pressures and solid consumer spending, and remained on a recovery trend, albeit with varied pace depending on the region. On the other hand, uncertainty about the future increased due to the impact of policy changes in the U.S., geopolitical risks including those in Ukraine and the Middle East, and fluctuations in financial markets.
      In this economic environment, the GS Yuasa Group’s consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 totaled ¥580,340 million, up ¥17,442 million or 3.1%, from the previous fiscal year. This increase in Group sales mainly reflects an increase in sales of automotive batteries and industrial batteries and power supplies, and the progression of measures to revise sales prices. In line with this, operating profit came to ¥50,028 million (operating profit before amortization of goodwill came to ¥50,748 million), up ¥8,433 million or 20.3% from the previous fiscal year. Ordinary profit came to ¥46,345 million, up ¥2,364 million or 5.4% from the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in profit at operating profit level, despite an increase in foreign exchange losses. Profit attributable to owners of parent came to ¥30,416 million, down ¥1,647 million or 5.1% from the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in income taxes and recording of impairment losses.
