1.Qualitative Information Concerning Quarterly Consolidated Operating Results

(1) Qualitative Information Concerning Consolidated Operating Results

During the three-month period under review, Japan's economy gradually began to recover amid the continuing impact of COVID-19. However, the outlook remains uncertain due to concerns about the spread of infection caused by new variants strains and the increasing downside risk from global semiconductor supply shortages.

In the construction industry in which the Group is involved, although public sector investment remained strong and private sector construction investment has shown signs of picking up, the situation still requires monitoring as rising material prices and chronic shortage of skilled construction workers are becoming increasingly more severe.

In such circumstances, to achieve the goals of its Medium-Term Corporate Management Plan "Creative 60" (FY2020-2024), the Group is promoting three key measures: expansion of domestic bases for operations, overseas expansion, and optimization of internal operations. In addition, to build a solid revenue and stable management base for the future, the Group is committed to sustainable development and the enhancement of corporate value through measures such as a flexible investment strategy that responds to actual demand and the strengthening of its systems for the appropriate deployment and efficient operation of rental equipment.

For the three-month period under review, the Group reported net sales of ¥46,730 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 16.2% from the same period of the prior fiscal year to ¥3,311 million, ordinary profit declined 16.0% to ¥3,509 million, and profit attributable to owners of parent decreased 8.5% to ¥2,072 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 under review. For details, please refer to "2. Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements and Significant Notes Thereto (3) Notes Concerning Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (Changes in Accounting Policies)."

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 public sector investment including activity being carried out for Japan's National Resilience Plan remained strong, a full- scale recovery in rental demand for construction equipment did not eventuate.

In addition, the Group is striving to strengthen its ability to respond to the fields of maintenance and repair of social infrastructure and renewable energy, where demand is expected to increase toward the realization of a decarbonized society. The Group has also promoted business alliances to accelerate digital transformation, and construction DX that contributes to labor-saving and safety improvements at construction sites.

Used construction equipment sales decreased 40.0% 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 ¥42,636 million, and operating profit of ¥2,901 million, a decrease of 18.3%.

< Other businesses >

In the Group's other businesses, net sales was ¥4,094 million and operating profit increased by 1.4% year on year to ¥287 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.
