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 showed signs of picking up due to measures against infection and the easing of restrictions on economic activity despite the continuing impact of COVID-19. However, amid downside risk becoming more apparent due to semiconductor supply shortages, rising raw material prices, etc., uncertainties are intensifying against the backdrop of factors such as the deterioration of the situation in Ukraine.

In the construction industry in which the Group is involved, although public sector investment remained steady and private sector construction investment has shown signs of gradual recovery, difficulties are increasing in the environment surrounding the industry as rising material and energy prices as well as the shortage of skilled construction workers are becoming increasingly more severe.

In such circumstances, based on the three key measures in the Medium-Term Corporate Management Plan "Creative 60" (FY2020-2024), the Group is strengthening the Alliance Group's foundations and working to further develop business through synergistic effects within the Group. In addition, the Group is committed to sustainable development and the enhancement of corporate value through the promotion of flexible investment strategy that responds to actual demand, and the acceleration of the improvement of capital efficiency.

For the six-month period under review, the Group reported net sales of ¥93,715 million. On the earnings front, partly due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses caused by investment in human resources in preparation for the future, operating profit decreased 11.9% from the same period of the prior fiscal year to ¥7,098 million, ordinary profit declined 13.5% to ¥7,457 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent decreased 8.2% to ¥4,540 million.

Please note that the Company has applied the "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020) and relevant ASBJ regulations from the beginning of the first quarter. For details, please refer to "2. Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements and Significant Notes Thereto

1. Notes Concerning Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (Changes in Accounting Policies)." 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 performance remained steady, primarily in disaster prevention and reduction and activities being carried out for Japan's National Resilience Plan as well as maintenance and renewal of aging social capital, a full-scale recovery in rental demand for construction equipment did not eventuate as some regional disparities in construction demand became more apparent.

In addition, the Group is strengthening its ability to respond to the fields of maintenance and repair of social capital and renewable energy in light of medium- to long-term changes in the construction market in addition to promoting the acceleration of digital transformation as well as technological development and business alliances for customers' diversifying needs despite the promotion of the appropriate deployment and efficient operation of rental equipment.

Used construction equipment sales decreased 5.8% year on year, as Kanamoto has carried out the extension of the rental equipment operation period as planned at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Reflecting these factors, the Group posted net sales in the construction-related businesses of ¥85,417 million, and operating profit of ¥6,293 million, a decrease of 13.6% year on year.

< Other businesses >

In the Group's other businesses, net sales was ¥8,297 million and operating profit increased by 2.8% year on year to ¥559 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.
