Shimano Inc., a leading company in the bicycle components and fishing tackle industry, operates primarily in the manufacturing sector, known for its innovative products and global market presence. In its latest earnings report for the first half of fiscal year 2025, Shimano Inc. reported a 9.5% increase in net sales to 237,409 million yen compared to the same period last year. However, the company faced significant challenges with a 9.2% decrease in operating income and a dramatic 90.9% drop in net income attributable to owners of the parent, largely due to foreign exchange losses.
The bicycle components segment saw an 11.6% increase in net sales, driven by strong demand for high-end models like XTR and innovative products such as the self-powered automatic gear-shifting system, Q’AUTO. Despite this growth, operating income in this segment decreased by 2.9%. Meanwhile, the fishing tackle segment experienced a 3.1% increase in net sales, supported by strong market reception of new products like the ULTEGRA spinning reels, although operating income fell by 32.4%.
Shimano’s financial position showed a decrease in total assets to 903,793 million yen, with net assets also declining to 826,763 million yen. Cash and cash equivalents decreased significantly by 71,566 million yen, reflecting the company’s investment in property, plant, and equipment, and acquisition of treasury stock. Looking ahead, Shimano has revised its full-year forecast for 2025, anticipating a slight increase in net sales but a substantial decrease in operating and net income due to ongoing market adjustments and currency fluctuations.
Shimano Inc. remains committed to enhancing shareholder returns through stable dividends and flexible treasury stock acquisitions, despite the challenging economic conditions. The company has announced an increase in interim dividends and maintains a positive outlook on its ability to navigate the current market environment.
