Financial Highlights(Quarter)

In the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, the global economy continued to recover gradually due to easing inflationary pressures, and there were signs of a pickup in economic activity, although the level of such pickup varied by region. At the same time, the outlook remains uncertain mainly due to geopolitical risks in Ukraine and the Middle East, prolonged economic stagnation in China, and fluctuations in financial markets.
   In this economic environment, the GS Yuasa Group’s consolidated net sales for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 totaled ¥264,505 million, up ¥7,700 million or 3.0%, from the same period of 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, etc. In line with this, operating profit came to ¥15,722 million (operating profit before amortization of goodwill came to ¥16,054 million), up ¥3,047 million or 24.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year. Ordinary profit came to ¥14,479 million, up ¥2,485 million or 20.7% from the same period of the previous fiscal year. Profit attributable to owners of parent came to ¥9,409 million, up ¥3,451 million or 57.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
