Strengthening the business foundation through geological risk management technologies, proposal capabilities, cost competitiveness, and high-quality deliverables

「In the 75th fiscal year, we increased the proportion of consulting order intake in total order intake from approximately 23% in the 74th fiscal year to approximately 28%. We will continue to strengthen our capacity to undertake consulting operations.」

「Against this backdrop, the Group focused on preventive maintenance work, including inspections, diagnostics and the study of maintenance methods using its core technologies. At the same time, drawing on its ability to make proposals using proprietary and advanced technologies addressing geological risks, it worked in unity with all employees on natural disaster and disaster prevention-related work, including national resilience initiatives, infrastructure maintenance including roads and sewerage, renewable energy, marine resource development and related work. The results of operations for the interim consolidated accounting period were as follows.」

「Since the 71st fiscal year, the target operations have accounted for 18–20% of sales and 22–24% of gross profit. The cost ratio for consulting operations is on average 5–7 percentage points lower than that for all operations, resulting in a higher profit contribution at the same level of sales. We will continue to strengthen our capacity to undertake consulting operations. We integrated the marine survey division into a single organization and established a structure for providing one-stop services ranging from geophysical exploration to boring. As a result, sales of the division were ¥900 million in the 71st fiscal year, ¥1,300 million in the 72nd fiscal year and ¥2,640 million in the 73rd fiscal year.」
