Komatsu Ltd
Komatsu makes heavy construction and mining equipment used to move earth, dig rock, and build roads, buildings, and mines. Its core products include bulldozers, excavators, wheel loaders, haul trucks, and other large machines that customers buy or lease for tough work sites. It also sells parts, attachments, and maintenance services to keep that equipment running. Its main customers are construction contractors, mining companies, quarry operators, and infrastructure builders, along with dealers that resell and service the machines in local markets. Komatsu earns money when it sells new equipment, supplies replacement parts, and performs repairs, overhauls, and fleet support. That service side matters because these machines are expensive to maintain and often stay in use for many years. What makes Komatsu’s business model different is that it sits at the center of the heavy-equipment lifecycle, not just the factory floor. It designs the machines, sells them through dealers and direct channels, and then keeps collecting revenue from parts and service as customers use them over time. It also has a strong presence in mining, where customers rely on durable equipment and long-term support more than flashy features.

Revenue Growth: Net sales for Q3 rose 3.5% year-on-year to JPY 1.02 trillion, with stronger-than-expected FX providing a significant boost.
Profit Decline: Operating income fell 12.7% to JPY 142 billion and net income dropped 13.1% to JPY 94.1 billion, reflecting pressure from higher costs and adverse product mix.
Segment Performance: Retail Finance and Industrial Machinery saw notable profit gains, while the key Construction, Mining & Utility segment experienced a sharp profit drop.
Aftermarket Strength: Parts and service sales continued to grow, especially in mining, with aftermarket now accounting for about 65% of segment sales.
Geographic Dynamics: Sales in Asia (especially Indonesia) lagged, but Europe, Africa, and Latin America showed growth; North America remained steady.
Cost & Tariff Pressures: Non-tariff production costs rose due to higher prices for nonferrous parts; tariff impact for the year is on track at JPY 55 billion.
Full-Year Guidance: Management left FY25 guidance unchanged and expects stable demand, but continues to watch FX and market conditions closely.
