The upper part describes our consolidated results for 2Q FYE3/2023. Thanks to the profit contribution from CAI, a marine container leasing company in the U.S. that became our wholly-owned subsidiary in the previous fiscal year, the business growth of subsidiaries in Europe and Americas in the Global Business segment, an increase in gains on sales related to real estate business, and other factors, the net income increased by 2.6 billion yen, or 4.5% YoY to 63.1billion yen.

The lower part describes the steady progress of the net income against the financial forecast for FYE3/2023 of 110.0 billion yen, so that the progress rate against the financial forecast was 57.4% as of the end of 2Q. Despite this progress, we leave the forecast unchanged due to the growing uncertainties in the external environment, such as the possible recession mainly in Europe and the U.S.

As you may be aware, the external environment is surrounded by growing uncertainties, including the ongoing inflation driven by increasing resource prices and other factors, the raising of interest rates in order to control this inflation, and the fragmentation of supply chains. The impacts on our financial results by these changes in the external environment have not been visible yet, but we will keep a close eye on the impacts on our businesses, and manage risks appropriately.

Now, Mr. Inoue, the floor is yours.
