On the 14th, 410 listed companies are scheduled to announce their financial results for the fiscal year ending March this year.

Sony Group announced its financial results for the previous fiscal year, with sales amounting to 12.957 trillion yen, which is 0... compared to the previous year.

While it decreased by 5%, the final profit was 17.

It increased by 6% to 1.1416 trillion yen, marking a record high.

In addition to increased software sales in the gaming business, the weaker yen and stronger dollar compared to the previous fiscal year boosted profits from foreign exchange, which contributed to improved business performance.

On the other hand, regarding the business performance for this fiscal year, it was forecast that operating profit would be pushed down by about 100 billion yen due to the impact of the Trump administrations tariff policies in the United States.

In addition, they also announced plans to list the shares of their financial business subsidiary, Sony Financial Group, in September this year, which had been previously disclosed.

Subaru, the automobile manufacturer, announced on the 14th that its financial results for the previous fiscal year showed that sales were 0 compared to the previous year.

Decreased by 4% to 4.6857 trillion yen, with operating profit, which indicates core business earnings, at 1.3...

It decreased by 4% to 405.3 billion yen.

Due to a decrease in sales volume and increased promotional expenses in our main market, the United States, both revenue and profit declined.

Furthermore, the business outlook for this fiscal year has been marked as undecided, as it is currently difficult to make a reasonable estimate due to factors such as U.S. tariff policies. The company states that it will promptly announce the forecast once a reasonable estimate becomes possible.

However, if the current tariff measures continue for a year and no countermeasures are taken, it is expected that this will result in a decrease in operating profit of up to $2.5 billion, or more than 360 billion yen.

Subaru sold a little over 660,000 units in the United States last fiscal year, accounting for 70% of its total sales, but local production was only about 350,000 units.

Since exports from Japan are subject to tariffs, the company is considering measures to mitigate the impact of these tariffs, such as increasing production at local factories.

President: The weakening of the US-China confrontation is a welcome situation. President Atsushi Osaki said at an online financial results briefing, Even if we are affected by tariffs throughout the year, we will take various countermeasures, and our first goal is to achieve an operating profit of around 100 billion yen.

He also commented on the fact that the United States and China reduced the additional tariffs they had imposed on each other by 115%, saying, I dont know if the tariff war between the U.S. and China will come to an end, but I think its a very welcome situation that the confrontation is starting to ease a little.

On top of that, he said, I am hopeful that this time it will have a positive impact on the tariff negotiations between Japan and the United States.

Chairman of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry: Worried that wage increases will slow due to the impact of tariffs Mr. Kobayashi, Chairman of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, commented on the fact that some major domestic companies are expecting a significant decline in profits this fiscal year due to the impact of U.S. tariff measures, saying, I am very concerned that anxiety over the impact of tariffs will cause wage increases to slow down.

I would like large corporations not to put a stop to the current trend of wage increases, and also to recognize that passing costs on to small and medium-sized enterprises is just one of the many costs involved.
