I. Matters Concerning the Current Status of the Corporate Group
1. Business Progress and Results
(1) External Environment
During this consolidated fiscal year, the Japanese economy continued a moderate recovery trend, supported by solid corporate earnings despite the impact of U.S. tariffs on the manufacturing sector, sustained growth in capital investment, and a pick-up in personal consumption against the backdrop of wage increases. Conversely, the global economy surrounding Japan faced uncertainties, including lingering concerns over the U.S. economy, prolonged geopolitical risks, and persistently high prices for materials and energy, which served as factors of opacity in the business environment.
Reflecting on the demand trends in the construction sector, which is the primary market for our group, construction investment for fiscal year 2025 remained robust, totaling 75.6 trillion yen, a 3.2% increase from the previous fiscal year. Government investment provided a floor with a 0.7% year-on-year increase, while private investment also performed well, rising 4.5% due to corporate appetite for capital expenditure. The domestic construction market remained active, strongly supported by continuous demand for infrastructure maintenance and renewal, construction needs for semiconductor-related factories, data centers, and logistics warehouses, as well as large-scale redevelopment projects.
(2) Business Activities
① Business Policy
As a leading company in the Japanese construction machinery rental industry, our group aims to build an overwhelming presence, prioritize compliance, and provide customers with "Rentalsulting®," which fuses the latest technology with consulting functions. Realizing the social contribution expected of us is our greatest mission, and all group employees are dedicated to providing various services centered on construction machinery rental.
We aim to contribute to solving our customers' challenges by providing solutions that balance productivity improvement with safety and security in response to the severe labor shortages highlighted by the "2024 Problem" in the construction industry. Furthermore, we promote the sharing economy through our rental business to contribute to reducing resource costs for society as a whole, and we contribute to the realization of decarbonization by enabling the early adoption of the latest machinery that supports carbon neutrality.
② Activity Details
(a) Sales Initiatives and Results
In this consolidated fiscal year, amid robust construction demand driven by urban redevelopment projects and continued corporate capital investment, we focused on aggressive sales efforts toward general contractors and local companies. We supplied a large volume of construction machinery across the country to meet the needs of a wide range of customers. In addition to the conventional general construction field, we actively sought to deepen our presence in non-construction fields (industrial equipment, bridges/tunnels, renewable energy, and defense-related). In defense-related construction, we strengthened our nationwide sales structure to capture demand. We leveraged our strength in having affiliated companies in other industries—such as manufacturing, sales, construction, and transportation—within the group to generate synergy effects and expand our business foundation.
We also sincerely addressed various customer challenges and actively adopted original products that contribute to safety and security at construction sites. Aiming to improve productivity at construction sites, we accelerated construction DX, centered on the Rental DX Sales Department of Aktio Corporation. We successfully secured orders by introducing new products and systems that contribute to work efficiency and labor saving, expanding the unmanned rental car service "Axpo," and providing "Starlink Business" promptly. At the Rentalsulting Fair in South Kyushu, held at the Kyushu TP General Factory (Kagoshima Aira Factory), we introduced cutting-edge products to support construction site DX, such as remote-controlled heavy machinery systems. We are also advancing initiatives that contribute to decarbonization, such as the launch of leases with carbon credits for commercial vehicles.
In response to frequent natural disasters such as heavy rains and forest fires, we promptly supplied machinery in various regions and worked as a group to contribute to recovery efforts. We also newly concluded disaster agreements regarding the provision of rental equipment with many local governments, focusing on establishing a machinery supply system in preparation for emergencies.
Regarding domestic branch expansion during the period, we opened a total of nine new locations across the group, including the Aktio Corporation Koyama and Matsuyama sales offices, to enhance customer convenience and strengthen our machinery supply capacity. Furthermore, to increase sales power through efficient asset management within the group, the Small Machinery Division of Aktio Corporation succeeded to and integrated the business of Saitetsu Co., Ltd. through an absorption-type company split. Additionally, Sakuragawa Pump Mfg. Co., Ltd. expanded its product lineup through business acquisition, promoting the strengthening and deepening of the group's comprehensive capabilities.
As a result of these efforts, we expanded "Rentalsulting®" to a wide range of customers and captured steady demand in large-scale projects, data center construction, and defense-related fields, which contributed to the expansion of sales in this consolidated fiscal year. We will continue to meet customer expectations through our group's comprehensive strength.
(b) Management Initiatives and Results
Thirteen years after the establishment of Aktio Holdings Corporation, we have promoted the strengthening of corporate governance and worked to establish an organizational structure aimed at the integration of group companies and the long-term sustainable improvement of corporate value. While focusing on thorough compliance and human resource development, our core business company, Aktio Corporation, achieved a base pay increase for the third consecutive year, introduced a childcare leave system, and implemented a full two-day weekend system. We also worked to improve employee engagement and promote work-style reform, such as introducing a corporate-type DC (defined contribution) pension plan at Aktio Corporation and beginning to inform and deploy it to other group companies.
From the perspective of strengthening our financial structure, we are conducting financial operations with an awareness of external evaluations and ratings, keeping issuer ratings in mind, and performing appropriate balance sheet control to realize sustainable and stable growth. Furthermore, as interest rate hikes are predicted in the future, we are working to manage interest-bearing debt and utilize group finance.
From the perspective of sustainability management, we established a Sustainability Promotion Office at the holding company, Aktio Holdings Corporation. In addition to holding SDGs experience events for elementary school students, we participated in the "ATC ECO EXPO" ahead of the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. We will continue our efforts toward realizing a sustainable future and solving social issues.
(c) Financial Summary
Although there were impacts such as rising material costs in the construction industry, labor shortages, and delays in construction progress due to extreme heat, we were able to translate rental demand into firm orders through the execution of the above measures. As a result, net sales were 373,906 million yen (up 3.9% year-on-year), operating profit was 29,211 million yen (up 14.8% year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of the parent was 20,491 million yen (up 56.1% year-on-year).
2. Status of Capital Investment, etc.
Demand for construction machinery rental across the country during this consolidated fiscal year showed steady movement, continuing from the previous year. To meet customer needs, our group is proceeding with the purchase of construction machinery assets for rental according to plan, while uncovering new markets and assessing current performance and future demand.
3. Status of Financing
During this consolidated fiscal year, we invested funds in the aforementioned capital expenditures. While controlling the balance of interest-bearing debt, we primarily utilized cash flow generated from operating activities and financing through borrowings from financial institutions.
4. Issues to be Addressed
Although there are concerns about an economic slowdown in 2026 due to opaque U.S. trends, tensions and instability caused by overseas situations, inflation, and the risk of rising interest rates, the Japanese economy is expected to continue a moderate recovery. This is supported by continued solid corporate earnings, increased capital investment aimed at labor saving and rationalization, and the underpinning of personal consumption due to continued wage increases.
Under this economic environment, in the construction field, which is our group's main market, the volume of work is expected to remain active, with the start of construction related to the Osaka IR, in addition to large-scale urban redevelopment projects, semiconductor factories, and defense-related projects. On the other hand, the sense of labor shortage in the construction industry as a whole continues, and it is becoming more serious, with cases of prolonged construction periods and the postponement of orders being seen here and there. As the acceleration of DX and RX is required to improve productivity across the entire construction production process, the active use of digital technologies such as ICT construction machinery and remote-controlled heavy machinery systems using satellite communication is becoming increasingly necessary. Therefore, the Rental DX Sales Department of Aktio Corporation will take the lead in actively working on this throughout the group.
Our group aims to provide advanced services that contribute to labor saving and efficiency improvement using technology to solve the increasingly sophisticated and complex challenges of our customers. We intend to deepen "Rentalsulting®," which fuses the latest technology with consulting, and devote our full efforts to solving our customers' problems. With the highest priority on improving productivity and pursuing safety and security, we will work as one to contribute to solving the diversified and complex social issues in Japan, where a rapid decline in the birthrate and an aging population are inevitable.
