AS ONE Corporation is a Tokyo-listed company specializing in the wholesale distribution of scientific and medical instruments, known for its extensive product database and digital solutions to improve customer convenience.

In its latest earnings report for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, AS ONE Corporation demonstrated a robust financial performance with a notable increase in net sales and profits, despite a challenging economic environment influenced by fluctuations in exchange rates and rising costs.

The company achieved consolidated net sales of ¥75,370 million, marking a 9.8% year-on-year increase, alongside a rise in operating profit by 11.5% to ¥8,396 million.

AS ONE’s financial position remained solid with a capital adequacy ratio of 70.5%, although total assets saw a slight decline due to reduced investment securities and receivables. The company continues to focus on profitability improvements and cost management strategies to sustain its growth trajectory.

Looking ahead, AS ONE’s management maintains a positive outlook, with projected growth in net sales and profits for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, as they continue to leverage their digital transformation initiatives and expand in overseas markets, particularly in China despite local economic challenges.
