TOKYO, Feb 12 (Kyodo) -- Yamabiko Corporation, represented by President and CEO Hiroshi Kubo, has announced its new three-year medium-term business plan, "Medium-Term Management Plan 2028," effective from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028.
The Medium-Term Management Plan 2025, which concluded last year, was characterized as a transformative period aimed at sustainable growth. Under this plan, Yamabiko Group accelerated structural reforms and proactive investments, focusing on transitioning from engine-centric operations to electrification and hybridization in anticipation of societal decarbonization. Additionally, the group invested in automation technologies to address labor shortages in outdoor work environments, thereby promoting sustainability within these sectors. Digital transformation initiatives also contributed significantly to productivity improvements, while efforts were made to enhance transparency around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
Yamabiko reported that all targets set under the Medium-Term Management Plan 2025 were met, including sales 74 trillion yen against an initial target of 1.7 trillion yen, an operating margin of 11.3% compared to the targeted 7%, and a return on equity (ROE) of 12.7% versus the goal of 10%. These achievements have laid a solid foundation for future growth phases.
For the upcoming Medium-Term Management Plan 2028, Yamabiko aims to become a global leader in creating value for professional outdoor solutions. Building upon previous initiatives focused on reducing environmental impact and enhancing safety in outdoor working conditions, the company plans to continue addressing labor shortages and harsh working conditions through technological advancements. By expanding beyond its traditional role as a comprehensive manufacturer of outdoor machinery, Yamabiko seeks to continuously innovate and provide added value from a customer-centric perspective. The company intends to achieve annual sales of 2.5 trillion yen by fiscal year 2030, aiming for sustained corporate value enhancement.
Specifically, the Medium-Term Management Plan 2028 outlines goals to reach sales of 2.1 trillion yen, maintain an operating margin of 13%, and achieve an ROE of 14%. To support these objectives, Yamabiko will leverage favorable exchange rates assuming one U.S. dollar equals 150 yen and one euro equals 175 yen. The company plans to bolster profitability through increased sales of high-value products such as professional-grade equipment and robotics, alongside optimizing product lines and improving operational efficiency using digital technology and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, Yamabiko will focus on balancing investment growth with shareholder returns, aiming to optimize capital policies to sustainably increase enterprise value over the next three years.
