Secom Co, a prominent player in the security services industry, is dedicated to creating a ‘Safe, Secure, Comfortable, and Convenient’ society through its extensive range of services, including security, medical, and insurance offerings. In its latest earnings report, Secom Co announced a record-breaking performance for its third-quarter fiscal year 2025, with consolidated sales reaching 864.6 billion yen, a 3.5% increase compared to the previous year. Notably, the company achieved its highest-ever quarterly net income attributable to its shareholders, amounting to 79.4 billion yen, marking a 4.1% increase from the prior year.
The company’s security services segment continued to perform robustly, with sales rising by 2.7% to 464 billion yen, driven by strong demand for both business and residential centralized systems and price revisions. Additionally, the fire safety segment saw a remarkable 9.2% increase in sales, with operating profit soaring by 77.5% due to improved cost ratios. However, challenges were noted in the medical services sector, where increased cost ratios led to a 10.3% decrease in operating profit despite an 8.2% rise in sales.
Secom Co’s insurance business faced a decline in operating profit by 38.9%, primarily due to reduced investment income and increased underwriting expenses. Similarly, the geographic information services and BPO/ICT sectors experienced declines in profitability due to reduced sales and increased personnel costs. Despite these challenges, Secom Co remains optimistic about its long-term growth prospects, supported by strategic initiatives such as the ‘Secom Group Roadmap 2027’ and a focus on technological advancements.
Looking ahead, Secom Co’s management maintains a positive outlook, aiming to further solidify its growth trajectory by addressing diverse and sophisticated customer needs. With no changes to its full-year forecast, the company remains committed to its strategic vision while navigating potential economic uncertainties and market dynamics.
