Although there is no significant change compared to the same period last year, the company aims to improve profitability by withdrawing from the Indonesia business and implementing cost improvements. The full-year forecast for FY2026 sets sales at 95 billion yen and an ordinary profit of 2.5 billion yen, with a target of sales of 125 billion yen and an ordinary profit of 9.5 billion yen in FY2027. The plan includes maximizing the energy-saving and CO2-reducing effects of the electric furnace at Sakai Factory through thorough capital efficiency and cost management.

Future Outlook and Corporate Strategy

Amid uncertain domestic and international economic conditions, with risks of downside in the global economy due to situational developments in the US and Middle East, the demand for construction-related steel products is expected to remain subdued. The company will continue to respond to rising costs while ensuring appropriate margins, promoting the measures outlined in the "Osaka Steel Group Medium-Term Management Plan." The goal for FY2027 is sales of 125 billion yen and an ordinary profit of 9.5 billion yen, focusing on strengthening product competitiveness, delivery responsiveness, and capital efficiency.
