The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., announced today its business and financial results for the first three quarters (January to September) of fiscal 2025. Sales revenue increased 12.0% over the same period of the previous year, to \\877.2 billion; business profit* increased 20.8%, to \\100.7 billion; operating profit increased 6.9%, to \\91.7 billion; and profit attributable to owners of parent increased 8.7%, to \\66.1 billion. The figures for all those items were record-high figures for performance in the first three quarters at Yokohama Rubber. In addition, the company\u2019s business profit margin, at 11.5%, was the highest ever for the first three quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The year-on-year increase in consolidated business profit can be attributed to the strong performance of existing businesses offsetting the one-time costs related to the acquisition and consolidation of Goodyear\u2019s OTR business. Tire business profit rose on an increase in unit sales of consumer tires and continued growth in sales of high-value-added ADVAN, GEOLANDAR, and Winter (AGW) tires as well as high-inch tires. Meanwhile, the MB segment\u2019s efforts to improve the profitability of its aerospace products and other structural reforms also contributed to the increase in consolidated business profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
