We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support.

In recent years, we have faced a challenging business environment, including the global COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of inflation. However, since fiscal year 2023, our business performance has shifted to an upward trend. We are committed to building on this momentum and positioning ourselves for future growth.

Although the outlook remains uncertain due to ongoing geopolitical risks and other global factors, our fiscal year 2024 results demonstrate the resilience of our business. Bookings received totaled ¥77,717 million, a slight decrease of 1.5% year on year. Net sales increased by 7.4% to ¥85,432 million, partly supported by the weaker yen. The backlog stood at ¥44,731 million, down 15.2% from the previous year. On the profit front, operating profit reached a record high of ¥8,279 million (up 4.0% year on year), while ordinary profit increased to ¥9,241 million (up 10.7%). These achievements were made possible through the collective efforts of our stakeholders - shareholders, business partners, and employees alike - to whom we extend our heartfelt thanks.

In FY2025, we launched our 18th Medium-Term Management Plan under the theme: “Unique & Dominant – Enhancing market presence with Hosokawa’s differentiation.” This plan is not only a roadmap for the next three years, but also a foundation for our long-term vision over the next decade.

Guided by the twin pillars of “Unique” and “Dominant,” each division is encouraged to think strategically and practically about how to move forward, always aligning their actions with our broader management objectives.

Under “Unique,” we aim to drive profitability through distinctiveness. This includes the development of products that directly address customer challenges and the enhancement of our maintenance and support services. Under “Dominant,” we seek to expand the scope and scale of our proposals by strengthening our engineering capabilities, thereby enabling us to win large-scale projects.

Furthermore, by mapping the return on equity (ROE) and operating margin of each group company, we can visualize their current performance and future targets. This management tool makes each company's engineering strength, product originality, and service capabilities clearly visible. It empowers every team and region to set concrete goals—such as “where we aim to be this year” or “what we will achieve by year-end”—and allows the entire Group to work cohesively toward long-term, sustainable growth.

We greatly appreciate your continued support as we pursue sustainable growth and create lasting value for the Hosokawa Micron Group.
