Maeda Kosen Posts Record Revenue and Profit for Fiscal 2026
Maeda Kosen reported revenue of 71,389 million yen for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, up 11.4% from a year earlier and a record high for the company.
Maeda Kosen Co., Ltd. (TSE-7821), a maker of civil-engineering, construction and industrial materials, reported operating profit of 12,033 million yen, up 0.1%, ordinary profit of 12,892 million yen, up 5.2%, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent of 9,571 million yen, up 0.9%, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, with each measure reaching a record high.
The social infrastructure segment, the company's main business, posted sales of 46,792 million yen, up 28.6%, helped by strong demand for embankment reinforcement materials and marine-related materials, along with steady sales of other civil-engineering and construction materials.
The industrial infrastructure segment's sales fell to 24,596 million yen, down 11.2%, as sales in Europe by German subsidiary BBS Motorsport GmbH declined following a strong comparison with the prior year.
Within the group's broader materials operations, the nonwoven fabric business reported lower sales and profit for the year, with the company attributing the decline to sluggish demand for medical and hygiene materials.
About seven-tenths of Maeda Kosen's revenue comes from the social infrastructure segment, whose principal customers are general contractors carrying out publicly funded construction projects.
Under the second phase of its multi-year Global Vision Infinity plan, Maeda Kosen targets consolidated revenue of 70 billion yen and operating profit of 12 billion yen for the fiscal year ending June 2027.
To support that plan, the company has budgeted 15 billion yen in capital investment over four years toward growth areas, aimed at expanding production capacity and automating and streamlining manufacturing lines.
Maeda Kosen has also set a four-year M&A investment framework of 20 billion yen and intends to use acquisitions to accelerate growth in new business areas.
The company aims to raise its overseas sales ratio to 30% by the fiscal year ending June 2027 as it looks to expand into new markets through its global network.
