SMC Corporation has released its consolidated financial results for the three months ending June 30, 2025. During this period, the company reported net sales of ¥200.18 billion, representing a 1.3% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year. Operating profit for the quarter was ¥44.456 billion, a decline of 15.1% year-on-year. The profit attributable to owners of the parent was ¥34.641 billion, down 28.9% from the same quarter in 2024. The global economic environment remained uncertain, influenced by geopolitical factors and the impact of U.S. tariffs. While the machine tool-related industry showed strength in Greater China, other regions continued to face adjustments. Sales in sectors such as medical equipment, food machinery, and others remained sluggish despite new post-COVID demand for automation. In response to these challenges, SMC Group has been making significant capital investments globally to bolster its supply capabilities. Efforts are also underway to enhance direct and distributor sales, diversify products and customer bases, improve productivity in product development, and leverage global human resources. No specific financial outlook or guidance was provided for future periods in the released document.
