Yamato Holdings Co., Ltd, a leader in the logistics and delivery services sector, provides comprehensive solutions for individual and corporate clients, known for its TA-Q-BIN network in Japan.
In its latest earnings report for the six months ending September 30, 2024, Yamato Holdings announced a challenging period with a decline in operating revenue by 3% compared to the previous year, resulting in an operating loss of 15,001 million yen. The company attributed these results to decreased demand in certain logistics segments and increased operational costs.
Despite increased parcel delivery volumes in cross-border and B2B e-commerce, Yamato faced challenges with contract logistics and post-box delivery services, contributing to lower revenues. Operating expenses slightly rose due to higher wages and outsourcing costs, as well as investments in new business models. Additionally, Yamato is expanding its corporate business and commercializing new models to diversify its offerings.
Looking forward, Yamato Holdings is committed to its medium-term plan aimed at sustainable growth by enhancing its TA-Q-BIN network, expanding its corporate business domain, and strengthening its management platform. The company anticipates a challenging environment but remains focused on optimizing costs and expanding new business opportunities to improve its financial outlook.
