TOKYO, Jan 29 (Pulse News Wire) – Hitachi Construction Machinery CO.,LTD. (6305.T) reported a slight decline in revenue and a drop in adjusted operating profit for its fiscal third quarter ending December 31, 2025.
Revenue stood at ¥9,793.4 billion, down slightly compared to the same period last year. Adjusted operating profit was ¥923.2 billion, marking a decrease from the previous year's figure. The company attributed the reduced profitability to increased costs due to U.S. tariffs, investment growth expenses, adverse regional and product mix changes, and unfavorable exchange rates.
Despite these challenges, global price increases helped mitigate some losses. Cash flow from operations and free cash flow improved compared to the prior year, reflecting ongoing cost reduction efforts. For the full fiscal year ending March 2026, the company revised its outlook, projecting a marginal decline in sales revenue and adjusted operating profit. Basic earnings per share are expected to be lower than the previous forecast.
The company emphasized that future performance could vary significantly based on various factors.
