- Order intake increased significantly in Energy Systems. Orders declined in Aircraft, Defense & Space due to high base effect from large bookings in previous fiscal year, but still reached high levels.
- Revenue grew YoY in Energy Systems, Plants & Infrastructure Systems, and Aircraft, Defense & Space, with large gains in GTCC and Defense & Space.
- Business profit increased YoY in Plants & Infrastructure Systems, Logistics, Thermal & Drive systems, and Aircraft, Defense & Space. Despite booking of one-time expenses in Steam Power and absence of gains on asset sales recognized in previous fiscal year, strong performance in GTCC, Metals Machinery, and Defense & Space drove large growth in business profit.
- Increased full-year order intake, business profit, net income, EBITDA, and FCF guidance to reflect strong performance through Q3. Reiterated full-year dividend forecast of 24 yen per share.
TOKYO, Feb 4, 2026 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI, TSE Code: 7011) announced that order intake increased 12.6% year-on-year to ¥5,029.1 billion in the three quarters ended December 31, 2025. Revenue rose 9.2% year-on-year to ¥3,326.9 billion, resulting in profit from business activities (business profit) of ¥301.2 billion, a 25.5% increase over the previous fiscal year, which represented a business profit margin of 9.1%. Profit attributable to owners of parent (net income) was ¥210.9 billion, an increase of 22.6% year-on-year, with a net income margin of 6.3%. EBITDA was ¥393.1 billion, a 21.0% increase over Q1-3 FY2024, with an EBITDA margin of 11.8%.
In Energy, order intake increased by ¥889.9 billion YoY mainly due to continued strong demand in Gas Turbine Combined Cycle (GTCC). Contracts for 31 large frame gas turbine units-up 15 units YoY-were concluded during Q1-3, the majority of which were from customers in North America and Asia. Revenue increased by ¥75.9 billion YoY; the largest gains were seen in GTCC, which continued to execute its sizeable backlog. Segment business profit decreased by ¥7.7 billion YoY mainly due to one-time expenses in Steam Power, which offset strong performance in GTCC from higher revenue and improved margins.
In P&I, order intake increased by ¥77.7 billion YoY due to the booking of a large project in Engineering. Revenue grew by ¥47.4 billion. Improved margins in Metals Machinery and Machinery Systems helped to raise segment business profit by ¥25.2 billion YoY.
In LT&D, revenue decreased by ¥27.6 billion YoY due to a decline in units sold in Turbochargers and Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC). Steady performance in Engines on the back of strong demand in Asia, combined with the rebound from one-time expenses associated with a supply chain disruption in Turbochargers during the previous fiscal year, resulted in a ¥1.2 billion YoY increase in segment business profit.
In ADS, order intake decreased by ¥345.0 billion YoY due to a high base effect from large orders booked in Defense & Space during the previous fiscal year. Revenue increased by ¥201.6 billion YoY, mainly in Defense & Space, where steady progress in backlog execution continued. Increased revenue and higher margins in Defense & Space and Commercial Aviation served to increase segment business profit by ¥35.6 billion YoY.
FY2025 Earnings Forecast
MHI revised its guidance for the period ending March 31, 2026, increasing the forecasts for order intake, business profit, net income, EBITDA, and FCF over the previous announcement made November 7, 2025, based on stronger-than-anticipated performance through Q3. The full-year dividend forecast of 24 yen per share was unchanged.
CFO Message
"In the first three quarters of this fiscal year, we continued to build on the strong performance I shared with you in our last release, with all major financial indicators up year-on-year, especially order intake and business profit," MHI Chief Financial Officer Hiroshi Nishio commented. Nishio continued, "Looking at individual businesses, GTCC drove strong order intake performance, booking 31 large frame gas turbine units mainly in North America and Asia. Demand for gas turbines remains high, particularly in the U.S., as communicated previously. Revenue was up especially in GTCC and Defense & Space, which are both executing some of the largest backlogs ever seen in our history. We also achieved remarkable growth in business profit as we offset one-time expenses in Steam Power with success in other businesses."
"On the back of this excellent progress through Q3," Nishio went on, "we have made upward revisions to our full-year order intake, business profit, net income, and FCF guidance. We are entering the final stretch of this fiscal year with renewed confidence, leveraging our historically high backlog to grow profit while continuing to win new orders-the source of future earnings expansion. As we aim to meet these updated targets, we ask our shareholders and other stakeholders to look forward to our next release later this year."
