Access earnings results, analyst expectations, report, slides, earnings call, and transcript.
Overview
The earnings call presents a mixed picture: strong share buyback activity and upward revisions in some segments are positives, but concerns about financial leverage, decreased cash flow in key segments, and lack of major capital recycling gains offset these. The market cap suggests moderate sensitivity, but the absence of additional positive catalysts or partnerships tempers expectations. Overall, the mixed financial performance and strategic outlook suggest a neutral stock price movement in the short term.
Key Financial Performance
Underlying Operating Cash Flow (Fiscal '25 Q3) 763.3 billion JPY, essentially flat year-on-year. Variations among segments were noted, with Environmental Energy decreasing by 32.3 billion JPY due to upfront costs in LNG projects, while Urban Development & Infrastructure increased by 40 billion JPY due to improved profitability at Chiyoda Corporation.
Consolidated Net Income (Fiscal '25 Q3) 607.9 billion JPY, similar to the previous year when excluding the absence of large capital recycling gains and onetime items. Performance was supported by improved market conditions and revenue growth across multiple businesses.
Environmental Energy Segment (Underlying Operating Cash Flow) 124.1 billion JPY, a decrease of 32.3 billion JPY year-on-year. The decline was due to upfront costs associated with LNG projects, despite reduced tax burdens in the Asia Pacific LNG business.
Mineral Resources Segment (Underlying Operating Cash Flow) 118.8 billion JPY, a decrease of 45.3 billion JPY year-on-year. The decline was attributed to weaker market conditions in the Australian steelmaking coal business and lower dividend income from the iron ore business.
Urban Development & Infrastructure Segment (Underlying Operating Cash Flow) 96.9 billion JPY, an increase of 40 billion JPY year-on-year. The growth was driven by improved profitability at Chiyoda Corporation following contract amendments for the U.S. Golden Pass LNG project.
Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio (Fiscal '25 Q3) 0.46x, expected to temporarily exceed 0.6x due to the U.S. shale gas investment. The company plans to manage leverage to return to an appropriate level by the end of fiscal 2027.
Share Buyback Program 794.3 billion JPY repurchased as of December, part of a 1 trillion JPY program announced in April.

Risk or Challenges
Environmental Energy: Decreased operating cash flow by JPY 32.3 billion year-on-year due to upfront costs associated with the start of production at LNG Canada and the North American LNG business, as well as reduced volumes associated with the extended timeline to reach full production at LNG Canada.
Mineral Resources: Decreased operating cash flow by JPY 45.3 billion year-on-year due to declining market conditions in the Australian steelmaking coal business, lower dividend income from the iron ore business, operational issues at underground coal mines, and volume decreases resulting from rainfall impacts.
Net Debt-to-Equity Ratio (Net DER): Expected to temporarily exceed 0.6x due to the recently approved investment in the U.S. shale gas business, raising concerns about financial leverage and the need to manage it back to an appropriate level by the end of fiscal 2027.
Capital Recycling and Onetime Gains: Absence of major capital recycling and onetime gains recorded in fiscal '24, such as gains on the sale of coal mines and revaluation gains, leading to a larger decline in consolidated net income compared to operating cash flow.
