ENSHU TRUCK CO.,LTD.

Business Details

A reportable segment centered on general freight motor transport, freight forwarding, and warehousing businesses. Operating revenue is managed under two categories: the Transportation Segment and the Warehousing Segment. Operating revenue for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was ¥49,776 million (up 2.7% year on year), and this core business accounts for approximately 99.7% of consolidated operating revenue. While transportation for internet mail-order shipments remained sluggish, expanded handling of general freight and increased volumes of parts for transportation equipment contributed to results.

Recent Overview

Revenue increased, but segment profit declined year on year due to delayed pass-through of rising personnel and outsourcing costs. Capital expenditure expanded significantly.

Operating revenue of the Logistics Business for FY2026 (ending March 2026) increased to ¥49,776 million (up 2.7% year on year), but the pass-through of increased personnel and outsourcing costs did not progress, resulting in a decline in segment profit to ¥4,111 million (down 2.1% year on year). Meanwhile, the increase in tangible and intangible fixed assets expanded substantially to ¥2,847 million from ¥1,086 million in the prior period, reflecting the start of an aggressive investment phase under the five-year medium-term management plan (¥33.0 billion in business investment over five years) beginning in FY2026 (ending March 2026).
