K.U. Holdings pursues the corporate vision of a "total dealer" handling new and used vehicles from diverse manufacturers, based on the fundamental principle of "creating a rich car life through trust and peace of mind." The company positions automobile sales as its core business, expanding its brand portfolio from domestic vehicles to renowned European and American brands, while strengthening its store network.

Against the backdrop of a challenging domestic automotive sales market, the company aims to secure profitability through IT investments to improve productivity. In its domestic vehicle sales operations, it is expanding store locations beyond the Kanto region. In its imported vehicle dealer operations, it is making aggressive store investments to enhance customer acquisition.

K.U. Holdings also shares sales expertise through personnel exchanges between both segments, maximizing the benefits of group management. This approach aims to provide comprehensive after-sales service and build a strong sales foundation that earns customer trust.

The company emphasizes ROA (return on assets) in its management, focusing on improving profit margins on sales and efficient utilization of total assets. Rather than pursuing corporate scale, it aims to build a lean and efficient corporate group. In the recent fiscal year, net income attributable to parent company shareholders increased 5.8% year-over-year.
