We recorded revenue of ¥374.7 billion, an operating profit of ¥23.5 billion, an ordinary profit of ¥284.1 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥285.7 billion. We recorded ¥242.7 billion of equity in net earnings of affiliated companies in non-operating income, mainly due to a significant increase in earnings at OCEAN NETWORK EXPRESS PTE. LTD. (ONE), an equity method affiliate. The amount of equity in net earnings of affiliated companies we recorded which was attributable to ONE was ¥232.9 billion. In addition, the rapid depreciation of the yen during the fiscal year resulted in a significant increase in revenues in each segment, including freight rates and charter fees.

(A) Dry Bulk Business

The Capesize bulker market and Panamax bulker market started off at a low level, reflecting the delayed recovery of Brazilian iron ore shipments due to bad weather and the lockdown in Shanghai meant to reduce the spread of COVID-19 infections. In mid-May, surging transport demand for coal to India pushed the charter rate up to around US$30,000 per day for both Capesize bulkers and Panamax bulkers. However, after the slack in coal transport demand, which eased the tight vessel supply-demand balance, the charter rate was reduced to around $20,000 per day.

In addition to generally steady market conditions for Capesize bulker and Panamax bulker, an improved market in both outbound paper pulp transport and inbound general bulker cargoes for open hatch vessels contributed to profit. As a result, the dry bulk business posted a year-on-year increase in profit in the first three months of the fiscal year.

  1. Energy Business
    In the very large crude oil carrier (VLCC) market, conditions remained difficult. In line with the growth in oil demand as the global economy recovers, OPEC gradually began phasing out its coordinated output cuts and cargo movement was on a recovery path. However, the VLCC tanker remained oversupplied. Meanwhile, product tanker market remained buoyant due to an increase in ton miles driven by the procurement of alternatives to petroleum products from Russia. Under these market conditions, the tanker business as a whole posted a year-on-year rise in profit, thanks to its efforts for the stable fulfillment of long-term contracts and cost reduction.

    The FPSO business reported a year-on-year increase in profit by securing stable profit through existing long- term charter contracts, and also thanks to the contribution of a newly commencing project.

    The LNG carrier division continued to generate stable profit through existing long-term charter contracts and reported profit mostly unchanged from the same period a year earlier. The FSRU business posted a year-on- year increase in profit as a result of additional operation brought by the conclusion of a new contract for an existing vessel.
  2. Product Transport Business

At ONE, the Company's equity-method affiliate, the containership business continues to be affected by the turmoil within global supply chains. Spot freight rates remained considerably higher than the year-ago level, despite the impact of the softening supply-demand balance caused mainly by the lockdown in Shanghai designed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 infections. Term contracts, reflecting the high freight rate levels so far, also pushed up profit. As a result of the above, the containerships business recorded a significant year-on- year increase in profit.

Although supply chain disruptions such as global semiconductor supply shortages and automobile component supply shortages caused by the impact of lockdowns in Shanghai continued to impact the production and shipment of completed cars, transportation volume of completed cars was mostly unchanged year on year due to the effort of flexible and agile tonnage adjustments and route changes. As the supply- demand environment improved, we worked to pursue more efficient operations, resulting in a significant increasement in earnings compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

As there was no declaration of a state of emergency nor quasi-state of emergency, passenger numbers showed considerable improvement, reflecting success at tapping into demand during long holidays, for example. The logistics business also remained on the recovery path and the ferries and coastal RoRo ships business overall posted considerable year-on-year growth in revenue and profit.

(D) Real Estate Business

The real estate business secured stable profit, despite a year-on-year drop in profits associated with the reconstruction of some buildings held by DAIBIRU CORPORATION, the core company in the Group's real estate business.

(E) Associated Businesses

The cruise ship business achieved improved profitability year on year due to an increase in operations. The tugboat business posted a year-on-year decline in profit, largely because of the rising price of fuel, although conditions varied from company to company and from port to port.

(A) Dry Bulk Business

Whilst the impact of global economic slowdown is a concern, the Capesize bulker market is expected to remain firm, with the usual growth in Brazilian iron ore shipments expected, in addition to solid shipments of iron ore from Australia. However, we believe that attention needs to be paid to developments in terms of the Chinese government's economic stimulus measures and port congestion due to adverse weather. The effects of the economic slowdown, especially the decline in demand for transportation to China is the concern for the Panamax bulker market but is expected to be supported to some extent by coal and grain shipments. If demand for alternative transportation to replace cargoes from Russia and Ukraine arise, this could be a positive factor to the market. However, in view of the fact that actual alternative transportation demand during the first three months under review was limited, we expect it to remain limited in the future as well.
