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 continued to face difficult conditions due to the impact of the spread of COVID-19. Although the economy continues to move toward normalization due to the effects of a range of government policies, the future still remains uncertain given the spread of mutated strains of COVID-19 and the re-issuing of the declaration of a state of emergency.

In the construction industry in which the Group is involved, public sector investment continued to be strong, centered on disaster recovery, infrastructure-related construction, and promotion of Japan's National Resilience Plan. Meanwhile private sector construction investment, which has been on a downward trend, remained weak, although there were signs of a gradual recovery.

In such circumstances, based on the three key measures of the Medium-Term Corporate Management Plan "Creative 60" (FY2020-2024), the Group will promote business alliances and M&As that can be expected to generate significant synergies in order to strengthen the foundation of the Alliance Group in Japan and abroad. At the same time, we are striving to accumulate and share solutions for the sustainable development of the Group and the enhancement of corporate value.

For the six-month period under review, the Group reported net sales of ¥95,225 million, up 4.2% compared with the same period of the prior year. In terms of earnings, operating profit decreased 12.1% from the same period of the prior year to ¥8,118 million, ordinary profit declined 4.0% year on year to ¥8,683 million, and interim period profit attributable to owners of parent declined 7.5% year on year to ¥4,943 million, reflecting investment in human resources for the future and strict control over used construction equipment sales aimed at extending the operating life of rental assets.

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, although private sector construction investment remained weak, rental demand for construction equipment was solid overall due to strong public sector investment centered on construction related to disaster recovery and reconstruction work as well as disaster prevention and mitigation in various regions, and maintenance and renewal of aging social capital.

In addition, the Group is promoting the enhancement of service quality and the strengthening of its business structure through the appropriate deployment and efficient operation of rental assets while also strengthening its ability to respond to needs for the development of equipment that applies IoT and ICT- related technologies.

Used construction equipment sales fell 27.9% year on year, as disposals were proceeded with as planned at the beginning of the period.

Reflecting these factors, the Group posted net sales in the construction-related businesses of ¥86,603 million, an increase of 4.3% year on year, and operating profit of ¥7,341 million, a decrease of 14.6%.

< Other businesses >

In the Group's other businesses, net sales increased by 3.3% year on year to ¥8,622 million and operating profit increased by 27.1% to ¥544 million, 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 well.
