Komatsu's quarterly operating profit rose 8% on a weaker yen and firmer pricing, and the equipment maker lifted its full-year sales and profit guidance after cutting its estimated US tariff cost to ¥25.8bn from ¥37.8bn and trimming its assumed Middle East demand losses.
The move: Komatsu disclosed a two-tranche unsecured issue, a ¥20bn three-year green bond and a ¥30bn five-year bond. The filing puts the deal under a ¥100bn shelf registered in November 2024, with no prior draws shown on the cover page.
Komatsu's annual report shows revenue edging up to ¥4.13tn in the year to March 2026 from ¥4.10tn, while profit before tax fell to ¥537.26bn from ¥604.84bn and net income attributable to owners slipped to ¥376.39bn from ¥439.61bn. Total assets still reached ¥6.42tn and basic EPS came in at ¥413.90, but last year's profit level proved harder to repeat.
