Hiratsuka, Japan—The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., today announced upward revisions to the financial targets for Yokohama Transformation 2026 (YX2026), the Company’s medium-term management plan for fiscal years 2024–2026.

In August 2024, the Company upwardly revised the plan’s initial targets announced in February of that year (sales revenue of ¥1,150.0 billion and business profit of ¥130.0 billion) to ¥1,250.0 billion for sales revenue and ¥150.0 billion for business profit. Since then, the Yokohama Rubber Group’s implementation of YX2026’s “Best Alternative Strategy” has produced strong results that are transforming the Company’s profit structure. Management therefore has raised its targets for fiscal 2026, YX2026’s final year, to sales revenue of ¥1,300.0 billion and business profit of ¥188.0 billion. These upward revisions increase YX2026’s initial targets by ¥150.0 billion for sales revenue and ¥58.0 billion for business profit. Management has also sharply raised its targeted business profit margin from 11% to 14.5%.

Under the medium-term management plan YX2026 launched at the start of fiscal 2024, Yokohama Rubber is advancing the “exploitation” of the strengths of its existing businesses and the “exploration” of new value as it aims to complete the transformation begun under its previous medium-term plan while being mindful to not leave any negative legacies for the next generation. Under this guiding philosophy, Yokohama Rubber will resolutely implement the growth strategies established for each of its businesses as it aims to achieve “Hockey Stick Growth.”
