Shimano Inc., a leading player in the bicycle components and fishing tackle industry, announced its financial results for the first nine months of fiscal year 2024, showcasing a decline in overall performance due to challenging market conditions.
The company reported that net sales for the period decreased by 10.8% to 334,879 million yen, while operating income saw a significant drop of 29.7% to 50,651 million yen. This downturn can be attributed to weak demand and inventory challenges across its primary business segments, particularly in the bicycle components sector.
In the bicycle components segment, sales fell by 12.3% as high market inventories affected sales, especially in Europe and North America. The fishing tackle segment also faced a sales decline of 5.6%, with global demand cooling down. Despite these challenges, Shimano introduced new products like the SHIMANO 105 and SHIMANO GRX, aiming to rejuvenate interest in its offerings.
Looking ahead, Shimano anticipates a continued challenging environment but remains committed to navigating these difficulties. The company’s revised forecast for FY2024 projects a minimal decline in net sales but expects operating income to decrease further. The management’s outlook indicates a focus on adjusting to market conditions and optimizing inventory levels.
