Aisin Corporation Posts Strong Second-Quarter Profits in Line with Full-Year Plan
Aisin Corporation reported strong second-quarter profits, with an operating profit of approximately 96 billion yen, exceeding targets by 11 billion yen. The company attributes this success to a weakening yen and structural improvements. Despite positive results, Aisin has not revised its full-year forecast due to semiconductor supply risks. The medium-term plan aims for an operating profit of 300 billion yen. In China, sales remain steady with Toyota, but some electrified product sales fell short. R&D expenses have increased as the company invests in new products and integrated control efforts.
Aisin Corporation announced its financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026, reporting that profits in both the first and second quarters have been strong and have exceeded internal plans. The operating profit for the second quarter was approximately 96 billion yen, surpassing the target by about 11 billion yen. The company attributed this performance to the weakening yen and ongoing effects from corporate structure improvement efforts initiated in the first quarter, including fixed cost reductions. Despite these positive results, Aisin has not revised its full-year forecast, citing concerns about potential risks such as semiconductor supply. The company’s medium-term plan targets an operating profit of 300 billion yen, which it aims to achieve through continued corporate structure improvements and increased unit sales. While unit sales have not fully met initial forecasts, the progress in structural improvements is in line with company plans. In China, Aisin’s business with Toyota remains steady, with strong sales of automatic transmissions. However, sales of some electrified products have not met previous expectations, and the outlook for other OEMs remains uncertain. The company noted that while demand for internal combustion engines is currently increasing in China, further structural reforms may be needed over the next two to three years. For the full year, the China segment is forecasted to record an operating profit of 19 billion yen, compared to 20.4 billion yen in the first half. Research and development expenses have increased compared to the same period last year, reflecting continued investment in launching new products and accelerating efforts toward integrated control.
