In Energy, order intake increased by ¥66.7 billion YoY, which mainly reflected continued strong demand in GTCC and Nuclear Power. Contracts for eight large frame gas turbine units were concluded during Q1 FY2025, mainly in North America. Revenue increased by ¥31.7 billion YoY with the largest gains seen in GTCC and Nuclear Power, which worked to execute their sizeable backlogs. Segment business profit increased by ¥6.0 billion YoY due to increased revenue and higher margins in GTCC, as well as increased revenue from after-sales services in Steam Power.
In P&I, order intake and revenue increased by ¥11.1 billion YoY and ¥32.8 billion YoY, respectively, due to strength in Engineering and Machinery Systems in terms of orders, and in all three main businesses in terms of revenue. Revenue growth and improved margins in all main businesses served to raise segment business profit by ¥10.9 billion YoY.
In LT&D, revenue decreased by ¥21.6 billion YoY due to a contraction in units sold in Logistics Systems and Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC). Decreased revenue in these two businesses, higher cost of sales for Logistics Systems in the Americas, and negative impact from the stronger yen overall resulted in a ¥3.7 billion YoY decline in segment business profit.
In ADS, order intake decreased by ¥125.2 billion YoY due to a decline from the high level achieved in the previous fiscal year in Defense & Space. Revenue increased by ¥48.8 billion YoY as Defense & Space worked to execute the substantial backlog accrued over the past two fiscal years, and the production rate of Boeing 787 wing sets increased in Commercial Aviation. Increased revenue and higher margins in Defense & Space, together with the higher run rate in Commercial Aviation, served to increase segment business profit by ¥5.1 billion YoY.

CFO Message
"Our performance in Q1 marked a strong start for the company overall, and we are generally on track to achieve our 2024 Medium-Term Business Plan targets," said Hiroshi Nishio, MHI's Chief Financial Officer. He continued: "We see continued strength in our growing core businesses: GTCC, Nuclear Power, and Defense. Order intake was particularly strong in GTCC, specifically in the Americas, where demand is robust for the high-efficiency large frame gas turbines in which we specialize. Revenue increased year-on-year as our businesses worked to execute substantial backlogs built up over the last few fiscal years. This revenue growth, combined with better margins, served to offset negative impact from the stronger yen and allowed us to steadily increase business profit."
Nishio added, "Based on the progress made to date, we have reiterated our full-year earnings forecast for FY2025, which is unchanged from our initial announcement in May. Regarding the US tariff situation, we have seen only minimal direct impact on our Q1 results. Due to our substantial manufacturing, assembly, and after-sales services footprint in the US, the volume of transactions where MHI bears tariff costs is not particularly large. Going forward, we will continue to mitigate any tariff impact through cost passthroughs and other countermeasures."
