The profit has increased in three segments - aerospace systems, energy solution & marine engineering, powersports & engine (previously 'Motorcycle & Engine'). The aerospace system did well because of recovery in the air passenger demand, energy solution & marine engineering profit increased due to a reaction to loss provisions in Chinese shipbuilding joint ventures, and powersports & engine profits increased due to strong outdoor leisure demand. All segments reflect increased profit due to depreciation of yen.

91 = Company History =
92
93 Kawasaki's origins go back to 1878, when Shozo Kawasaki established Kawasaki Tsukiji Shipyard in Tokyo. Eighteen years later, in 1896, it was incorporated as Kawasaki Dockyard Co., Ltd.{{footnote}}https://global.kawasaki.com/en/corp/history/index.html{{/footnote}} Kawasaki Dockyard was originally established in 1886. In 1894, after seven years of its establishment, the Sino-Japanese war started that presented a prosperity to the ship-building industry. Shozo Kawasaki received many orders of ship-repairing, soon realizing the limited scope of private limited company he decided to take the company public. Kawasaki being without a son to inherit his position has chosen Kojiro Matsukata as the president of the company, who served 32 years until 1928.
94
95 In 1897, Kawasaki Dockyard completed a cargo-passenger ship, Iyomaru (727 GT), its first ship after becoming a publicly traded company. During the 10 years of private management between 1886 and 1896, the Company built 80 new ships, including six steel ships such as Tamamaru (about 570 GT). Since the first steel ship was built in Japan in 1890, ship material had rapidly modernized from iron to steel. The company realized the necessity for a bigger dockyard and completed construction of a dry dock beside Kobe Shipyard in 1902. The president of the company decided to expand to new business areas - in manufacturing railway cars. In 1906, the newly opened Hyogo Works began fabrication of locomotives, freight and passenger cars and bridge girders. During the same year, the company also began production of marine steam turbines at its dockyard. Also in that year, the company has built first two submarines of Japan produced domestically by executing the orders of the Navy - Submarines No. 6 and 7. In 1908, Kawasaki Dockyard builds the Yodo, Japan's first large-size warship built by a private Japanese shipyard.

99
100 In the endeavor to expand the business to new product lines, Kawasaki started manufacturing rolling stock in 1907, and 4 years later produced its first steam locomotive, the Tender type locomotive (2B saturation steam type, No.6700-6704), for the Ministry of Railways.
101
102 In London at the time, Matsukata was impressed by the use of airplanes in World War I and established the Aircraft Department at the Hyogo Works in 1918. It was just a short 15 years since the Wright brothers' historic flight when airplanes were still made from wood and cloth and could only travel short distances. In 1922, the Company began manufacturing aircraft and established a new aircraft plant.
103 Kawasaki went on to build Japan's first metal aircraft, thereby laying the groundwork for the technological innovations of today.
104
105 In 1919, the shipping division is spun off and incorporated as Kawasaki Kisen Kaisya Ltd. (K-line). In 1922, Kawasaki completed its first airplane at its Hyogo works, and conducted test flights in Sohara Village.
106
107 In 1923, the Great Kanto Earthquake hit Tokyo and bridges across the Sumidagawa River collapsed. Kawasaki constructed replacement bridges such as the Kiyosubashi Bridge, Shirahigebashi Bridge and Eitaibashi Bridge, which became well known for their elaborate designs. Kawasaki utilized state-of-the-art technology for these bridges. For example, it adopted high-tensile steel (Ducol steel), made at the Company's Hyogo Works, for the first time in Japan for the upper cables of the Kiyosubashi, an elegant suspension bridge, and for the lower connections of the Eitaibashi, a massive steel arch bridge. In that era, Kawasaki received orders from the Earthquake Reconstruction Bureau and other organizations in Japan for 25 bridges in total, including the bridges mentioned above, requiring 16,000 tons of steel. Kawasaki also constructed the Kachidokibashi Bridge across Sumidagawa River. The leaf-lift (trunnion bascule) bridge is built on a model of the same type of drawbridge in Chicago. The bascules, which hold the bridge center of 44 meters, can raise to a maximum of 70 degrees, making large ship traffic possible. In 1928, the Hyogo Works is spun off and incorporated as Kawasaki Rolling Stock Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
108
109 In 1931, the prototype of a 1.5 ton truck was completed based on a U.S. deluxe model, and the next year Kawasaki started producing Rokkogo trucks and buses. In 1933, it also began manufacturing classy Rokkogo passenger cars for such customers as the Imperial family.
110
111 In 1937, the company spun off the aircraft division and incorporated it as Kawasaki Aircraft Co., Ltd. In 1939, the company adopts the current name Kawasaki Heavy Industries (Kawasaki Jukogyo Kabusikigaisya), which is to survive after the merger of three companies in 1969. 
112
113 During World War II, the Company (Kawasaki Aircraft) manufactured the type 3-1 fighter Hien, the only liquid-cooled fighter developed in Japan during the war.
114
115 In 1950, the steelmaking division of the company is spun off and incorporated under the name Kawasaki Steel Corporation. In 1952, the company begun production of Bell 47D helicopters.
116
117 In 1969, Kawasaki Dockyard, Kawasaki Rolling Stock Manufacturing and Kawasaki Aircraft merge to become Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. During the same year, the company develops Kawasaki-Unimate 2000, the first Japan-made industrial robot; also the motorcycle H1 was launched. In 1972, the company unveils Z1 motorcycle.
