Makita Corporation Reports 3.8% Decrease in Revenue, 22.1% Increase in Operating Profit for Q1 2025

Makita Corporation has released its financial results, reporting a consolidated revenue of 186.614 billion yen for the three months ended June 30, 2025, marking a year-on-year decrease of 3.8% due to the impact of foreign exchange rates. Despite the drop in revenue, operating profit increased significantly by 22.1% to 26.069 billion yen, driven by improved cost ratios and foreign exchange effects. Profit before income taxes rose by 25.9% to 26.865 billion yen, while profit attributable to owners of the parent increased by 20.4% to 19.281 billion yen. The company reported strong performance in Japan, with sales of cordless outdoor power equipment (OPE) remaining robust. However, overall sales in overseas markets saw a decline, contributing to the decrease in consolidated revenue. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Makita forecasts a revenue of 700 billion yen, representing a decline of 7.1% from the previous year. The financial outlook suggests potential challenges, although the company has not specified detailed reasons for the projected decrease. Makita’s focus on cost reduction and currency exchange management continues to positively impact its operating profits, as evidenced by the latest quarterly results.
