• Core Financial Results (H1 FY2025):

  • Total order intake reached 3.3 trillion yen, growing year-over-year, driven by strong performance in the North American market and growth businesses including Energy Systems and Defense. Total order backlog increased 1.2 trillion yen from the prior year-end to 11.5 trillion yen.
  • Net income reached 114.9 billion yen, up 7% year-over-year, the highest net income ever reported for the first half of a fiscal year. Free cash flow was a positive 151 billion yen, boosted by a 260 billion yen increase in advance payments (contract liabilities) from large GTCC order intake. Interest-bearing debt stood at 607.7 billion yen, and total assets exceeded 7 trillion yen.
  • Organic operating profit (excluding Mitsubishi Logisnext) was 168 billion in H1, with a 76 billion yen improvement from revenue and margin expansion across all segments, offset partially by a 30 billion yen one-off provision for the Steam Power business.

• Strategic Management Initiatives:

  • Core management objective: Build a virtuous cycle of high profitability and reinvestment in growth, delivered via accelerated group-wide optimization and focused scope expansion.
  • Focused resource deployment: Prioritize allocation of internal experts and capital to high-demand growth areas. GTCC production volume will be increased by 30% via concurrent capital investment, hiring, and productivity improvements including lead time reduction. Additional resources are allocated to finalize the Australian defense program contract, requiring coordination with the Japanese government, partner firms, and Australian government negotiations.
  • U.S. Market Opportunity: The U.S. is the company's largest single market, with 1.1 trillion yen in annual sales and existing manufacturing and service facilities for energy and industrial equipment. Management is preparing to capitalize on emerging post-Japan-U.S. Summit opportunities, focusing on supplying energy equipment and services to meet U.S. customer demand.
  • Portfolio Management: The company conducts regular top-down portfolio review to prioritize resource allocation to high-value growth areas. The planned restructuring of the capital relationship with Mitsubishi Logisnext, announced September 30, aligns with this portfolio optimization approach. Sensitive domain expansion initiatives tied to long-term growth will be disclosed at an appropriate future time, rather than in this call.

• Full-year FY2025 total order intake guidance is revised upward from the prior outlook to 6.1 trillion yen, primarily driven by a 1 trillion yen increase in expected Energy Systems order intake that offsets the impact of the Mitsubishi Logisnext restructuring.
• Full-year FY2025 total revenue guidance is maintained at 4.8 trillion yen, and total business profit guidance remains unchanged at 390 billion yen. Full-year free cash flow guidance is maintained at 0.
• Energy Systems segment full-year order intake guidance is revised upward from 2.2 trillion yen to 3.2 trillion yen, while business profit guidance remains 240 billion yen (the 20 billion yen previously held as a one-time expense buffer was utilized in Q2 for the 30 billion yen South African project provision).
• Plants & Infrastructure segment full-year business profit guidance is revised upward from 60 billion yen to 70 billion yen, reflecting steady project execution.
• Logistics, Thermal and Drive Systems segment full-year order intake, revenue, and business profit guidance are all revised downward due to slowing sales of turbochargers and HVAC units.
• Aircraft, Defense and Space segment full-year guidance remains unchanged. The 1.2 trillion yen 2025 expected order intake is lower than the prior two fiscal years' elevated levels but remains at a historically strong level.
• The assumed exchange rate for full-year guidance remains 145 yen to the U.S. dollar, with exchange rate sensitivity estimated at 1.6 billion yen per unit of exchange rate movement.

1. Energy Systems: Full-year 2025 order intake guidance was revised upward from 2.2 trillion yen to 3.2 trillion yen, driven by strong demand for gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) systems. Full-year business profit guidance remains unchanged at 240 billion yen. A 30 billion yen one-off expense for Steam Power business provisions (including 20 billion yen for the South African project) was already recognized in Q2, so no additional risk buffer is included in H2 guidance. Aftersales service revenue as a percentage of total Energy Systems segment revenue is tracked for performance visibility. 2. Plants & Infrastructure: Full-year 2025 business profit guidance was revised upward from 60 billion yen to 70 billion yen, reflecting steady project execution. Q2 2025 segment order intake reached 2.1 trillion yen, with steady year-over-year growth. 3. Logistics, Thermal and Drive Systems: Full-year 2025 order intake, revenue, and business profit guidance were all revised downward, due to a slowdown in sales of turbochargers and HVAC units. Mitsubishi Logisnext (logistics business) is excluded from core operating results per the September 30 portfolio restructuring announcement, and is classified as held for sale on the balance sheet. 4. Aircraft, Defense and Space: Full-year 2025 guidance remains unchanged. The 2025 full-year expected order intake of 1.2 trillion yen is lower than the elevated levels of the prior two fiscal years, but remains at a historically high level. The company was selected for Australia's next-generation defense program and is allocating internal resources to advance contract finalization.

• Unresolved cost sharing for the long-running South African steam power project: The 10+ year project completed its final unit commissioning in September 2025, but cost overruns incurred during construction have not yet been resolved with the customer. A 30 billion yen one-off provision (including 20 billion yen for this project) was recorded in Q2 FY2025 for accounting purposes, creating downside risk to profitability if final cost negotiations do not align with the provisioned amount.
• Ongoing uncertainty in end-market demand: The business environment is expected to see accelerating pace of change, requiring faster operational and strategic response to emerging shifts that could impact performance. The Drive Systems segment already faces ongoing weakening demand for turbochargers and HVAC units that has led to downward guidance revisions.
• Contract execution risk for large new programs: The Australian next-generation defense program selection requires complex cross-government coordination, international contract negotiations, and partner alignment, carrying execution and timing risk before the contract is finalized.
• Transition risk related to Mitsubishi Logisnext portfolio restructuring: The business is now classified as held for sale, which requires separation from core operations and creates near-term uncertainty for the consolidated business until the restructuring is completed.
