Sales
Procurement

Production
We are closely monitoring production trends at client companies and final demand for equipment, etc.
No impact. There were some problems with procurement from suppliers, but we addressed this by changing procurement channels and utilizing current inventory, etc.
There is still some impact, such as lengthening distribution lead times and increasing distribution costs. We are addressing this through transportation using alternative flights and routes.
