1.Qualitative Information Concerning Quarterly Consolidated Operating Results

(1) Qualitative Information Concerning Consolidated Operating Results

During the six-month period under review, Japan's economy had persisting conditions that demanded close attention, such as uncertainties in overseas economies and heightened geopolitical risks, despite economic activity showing signs of restarting due to the easing of restrictions on movement.

In the construction industry in which the Group is involved, although public sector investment remained firm, and gradual recovery in private sector construction investment continued, the situation remained unpredictable as there were concerns about delays in equipment supply due to rising construction costs and semiconductor supply shortages.

In such circumstances, in order to achieve the goals of its Medium-Term Corporate Management Plan "Creative 60" (FY2020-2024), the Group built a robust foundation that increases earnings without being influenced by changes in the business environment while enhancing utilization rates through the integrated management of assets and establishing an organizational structure for the optimization of rental unit price. Furthermore, the Group worked to solve issues related to the stable supply of rental equipment in relation to the increase of construction demand.

For the six-month period under review, the Group reported net sales of ¥97,268 million, an increase of 3.8% year on year. On the earnings front, partly due to investment in human resources in preparation for the future in addition to increases in depreciation and selling, general and administrative expenses caused by an absorption-type merger within the Group, operating profit was ¥5,327 million, a decrease of 24.9% year on year, ordinary profit was ¥5,488 million, a decrease of 26.4% year on year, and profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥2,924 million, a decrease of 35.6% year on year.

Operating results for each of the Company's business segments were as follows.

< Business related to the Construction Equipment Rental Division >

In the construction-related business, which is Kanamoto's core business, domestic construction investment remained steady, and although there were differences by region, the strength in rental demand for construction equipment returned. Kanamoto progressed with various types of large-scale projects, such as the construction of semiconductor plants and security-related construction in addition to the continuation of redevelopment work in urban areas, extension projects for bullet trains and renewable energy-related work.

Furthermore, the Group promoted technological development and business alliances aimed at realizing DX at construction sites and reducing environmental impact, such as by jointly developing a bar arrangement inspection system using a three-lens camera.

Used construction equipment sales decreased 32.0% year on year, as Kanamoto proceeded with sales in accordance with the initial plan in order to maintain an appropriate asset mix while carrying out the extension of the rental equipment operation period.

Reflecting these factors, the Group posted net sales in the construction-related businesses of ¥88,248 million, an increase of 3.3% year on year, and operating profit of ¥4,507 million, a decrease of 28.4% year on year.

< Other businesses >

In the Group's other businesses, net sales was ¥9,019 million, an increase of 8.7% year on year, and operating profit was ¥564 million, an increase of 0.8% year on year, as the business related to the Steel Sales Division as well as the business related to the Information Products Division and welfare-related business performed favorably.
