The company recently released its earnings report for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2025, highlighting a modest increase in consolidated sales to ¥397,643 million, up 2.8% year-on-year, despite challenges such as the depreciation of the yen and geopolitical uncertainties.
Key financial metrics showed a mixed performance, with operating income declining by 12.8% to ¥9,704 million and income before income taxes decreasing by 26.5% to ¥7,735 million. However, net income attributable to owners of the parent saw a notable increase of 198.5% year-on-year, reaching ¥1,969 million.

The company’s financial position saw a reduction in total assets to ¥1,220,509 million and a decrease in total equity to ¥660,060 million, largely due to dividend payouts and changes in other equity components. NSK’s strategic decision to classify its steering business as discontinued operations and its partnership with Japan Industrial Solutions reflects its focus on optimizing core business areas.
Looking ahead, NSK Ltd. has revised its forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2025, anticipating consolidated sales of ¥790,000 million, a slight increase from the previous year. The company remains committed to its mid-term management plan, emphasizing growth with profitability, enhancement of managerial resources, and ESG management, amid a gradually recovering global economy.
