Super Tool Co., Ltd. (TSE: 5990) reported consolidated results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 (March 16 – June 15, 2026) under Japanese GAAP. Revenue rose 17.4% to ¥1,638 million, but operating profit fell 17.0% to ¥70 million and ordinary profit declined 16.9% to ¥77 million. The company swung to a net loss of ¥67 million attributable to owners of the parent, from a ¥67 million profit a year earlier.
New-factory build tips the bottom line into the red
The reversal to a loss was not driven by operations, which stayed profitable. Super Tool is constructing a new plant to raise productivity, and the demolition costs of the existing facility were booked as an extraordinary (special) loss during the quarter. That one-off charge pushed the bottom line below zero even though revenue grew at a double-digit pace and operating profit remained positive.
Metal Products drives the top-line gain
In the core Metal Products business, revenue rose 11.9% to ¥1,254 million while segment profit eased 10.5% to ¥151 million. Work tools and puller tools held steady, and lifting and hanging clamps sold well, helped by the company's "S・M・A・R・T" asset-management app, which supports a solution-type business model. New aluminum portable gantry cranes sold briskly, and the company added an aluminum H-beam crane model to the lineup. Overseas, Korea — its main export market — stayed weak on soft domestic real-estate and construction demand, but shipbuilding-oriented lifting clamps rebounded strongly on new products; Greater China, Europe and the Americas were steady, and a price revision for some overseas regions took effect in June 2026.
Environmental business wound down
The Environmental segment posted revenue up 39.9% to ¥383 million with segment profit down 9.0% to ¥27 million. The business is being wound down under a previously announced withdrawal policy, with subsidiary Super Tool ECO completing already-ordered floating solar power plant construction.
Balance sheet and guidance
Total assets stood at ¥12,904 million, down ¥440 million from the previous fiscal year-end, and net assets were ¥10,237 million. Super Tool left its full-year guidance unchanged from the forecast announced on April 24, 2026.
