Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., a major player in the construction and mining equipment sector, focuses on manufacturing hydraulic excavators, ultra-large hydraulic excavators, and wheeled loaders, along with offering related services and parts.
In its latest earnings report for the third quarter ending December 31, 2024, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. reported a slight decline in revenue compared to the same period last year. The company’s revenue was ¥991,277 million, marking a 1.7% decrease, largely attributed to declining demand for hydraulic excavators in North America and Western Europe.
The company faced a 15.0% drop in adjusted operating income, totaling ¥104,488 million, due to increased production costs and reduced sales volumes. Despite these challenges, the company’s strategic focus on its parts and services business showed resilience, with a notable increase in market share in North America. Net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥61,878 million, reflecting a decrease of 12.9% year on year.
Looking ahead, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. anticipates challenges in the demand for new machinery due to high interest rates in some regions. However, the company remains optimistic, expecting a recovery in emerging markets and a steady demand for maintenance services. The firm’s strategic initiatives, including business expansion in the Americas and strengthening its value chain business, are expected to support its future growth.
