Within Shovels, domestic sales increased 4.4%, while exports fell 33.6% due to declines in sales to the United States and Central Africa in the second half. Within Outdoor Goods & Construction/Agricultural Equipment, growth in snow-removal-related products, watering-related products, and agricultural tools contributed to a 6.3% increase. Profit margins improved due to the effects of price revisions and other factors, and segment profit improved substantially to ¥140 million from ¥49 million in the prior period. The segment's share of total company sales rose from 59.7% to 63.5%.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Expanding demand for agricultural tools, snow-removal-related products, and watering-related products (snow-removal and watering-related products contributed to increased sales in FY2026)
- Sales expansion and customer acquisition through new product launches (2-way shovel, Evangelion collaboration shovel, etc.)
- Improved profit margins from the penetration of price revisions (segment profit increased substantially year on year in FY2026)
- Continued proactive domestic sales activities (deepening penetration into home center and specialty store channels)
- Expectations for early winter orders due to reduced market distribution inventory of snow-removal-related products
Risks
- Risk of consumer purchasing restraint due to price revisions (deteriorating consumer sentiment amid continued price inflation)
- Risk of cost pressure from persistently high raw material and energy prices
- Seasonality and weather dependency risk for snow-removal-related products (performance fluctuations depending on snowfall levels)
- Export instability risk (sales to the United States and Central Africa declined sharply in the second half, affected by U.S. trade policy)
- Risk of sales concentration on major customer DCM Corporation (net sales of ¥854 million in FY2026)
- Intensifying competition with low-priced overseas products (price competition in the shovel and scoop market)
