Recent Overview
Continued pursuit of appropriate freight rate collection led to increased revenue and a significant increase in profit for FY2025 (ended March 2025). The trend of increased revenue and profit continued through the most recent nine-month cumulative period.
For FY2025 (ended March 2025, the fiscal year under review), operating revenue was ¥36,317 million (up 1.6% year on year), and segment profit was ¥744 million (up 50.5% year on year). Although freight volume handled declined slightly, active efforts to collect appropriate freight rates and charges pushed up profit. On the other hand, outsourcing costs (chartered vehicle fees) increased due to labor shortages and responses to the "2024 Problem," and cost pressures continued. In the cumulative nine months of FY2026 (ending March 2026) Q3, operating revenue was ¥27,821 million (up 1.1% year on year) and segment profit was ¥863 million (up 28.4% year on year), showing further improvement. Gain on sale of fixed assets was also recorded from the transfer of the former Kyoto sales office.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Ongoing improvement in unit prices through continuous negotiations to collect appropriate freight rates and charges
- Securing freight volume and expanding transactions through active sales efforts
- Improving transport efficiency through expanded joint transport and delivery with other companies in the same industry
- Strengthening value-added services such as 3PL & Warehousing
- Improving load efficiency through IT and diversifying transport modes through the use of JR containers
- Strengthening transport capacity through base infrastructure development, including the newly constructed Tsuyama main branch and the acquisition of the Toyokawa sales office
Risks
- Chronic driver shortage and increased outsourcing costs (chartered vehicle fees) associated with the "2024 Problem" (overtime work regulations)
- Persistently high transport costs, including fuel prices, vehicle-related expenses, and labor costs
- Sluggish domestic freight transport volume (a declining trend, mainly in manufacturing-related cargo)
- Difficulty securing labor due to an aging workforce and hiring challenges
- Sluggish growth in export-related cargo movement due to U.S. trade policy and geopolitical risks
- Risk of impairment of fixed assets (evaluated by grouping at the main branch/sales office level)
