Improving production and business efficiency

「The Group carried out production in response to the increase in its order backlog. In the Firefighting and Disaster Prevention segment, it planned and developed products and conducted consultative sales to meet on-site needs arising from frequent natural disasters. In the Aerospace and Industrial Products segment, it focused on securing orders from new customers and manufacturing highly complex products, advancing its business activities to meet customer expectations.」

「Under these circumstances, the Group is carrying out production in response to the increase in its order backlog. In the Firefighting and Disaster Prevention segment, it is also advancing the planning and development of products and consultative sales to meet on-site needs arising from frequent natural disasters.」

「In terms of profit, because the current year's plan calls for sales to be concentrated in the second half, fixed costs could not be absorbed during the interim period, resulting in a loss. As a result, net sales were ¥1,330 million, down 25.4% year on year, and segment loss (operating loss) was ¥255 million, compared with segment loss of ¥78 million in the same period of the previous year.」

「We are also advancing a review of the production system and improvements in the cost structure by improving the accuracy of order forecasts, expanding level production, and increasing manufacturing-process efficiency through the use of 3D printers and other technologies.」

「In terms of profit, the increase in sales mentioned above enabled the absorption of fixed costs, and the company achieved a profit by the third quarter of the current fiscal year. In terms of profit, profit increased substantially year on year because higher plant utilisation made a significant contribution and improved the cost ratio.」

「In the Aerospace and Industrial Products segment, sales increased as the trend toward order recovery continued. In terms of profit, profit increased substantially year on year because higher plant utilisation made a significant contribution and improved the cost ratio.」

「In terms of profit, although the effects of higher raw-material prices and energy costs remained significant, gross profit increased substantially, driven by a significant increase in sales in the Firefighting and Disaster Prevention segment and an improved cost ratio resulting from higher plant utilisation in the Aerospace and Industrial Products segment.」

「In terms of profit, although the effects of higher energy and raw-material prices remained significant, the cost of sales ratio improved from the previous fiscal year and gross profit increased due to higher sales, progress in reviewing the production system and higher plant utilisation.」

「In terms of profit, although the effects of higher raw-material prices and energy costs remained significant, the cost of sales ratio improved year on year and gross profit increased as plant utilisation rose following progress in reviewing the production system and a trend toward recovering orders in the Aerospace and Industrial Products segment.」

「In terms of profit, although the effects of higher raw-material prices and energy costs remained significant, the cost of sales ratio improved year on year and gross profit increased, as plant utilisation rose following progress in reviewing the production system and a trend toward recovering orders in the Aerospace and Industrial Products segment.」

「In terms of profit, although the company worked to review its production system and improve its cost structure, it did not achieve fixed-cost absorption. As a result, net sales were ¥708 million, up 30.3% year on year, and segment loss (operating loss) was ¥53 million, compared with segment loss of ¥176 million in the same period of the previous year.」

「The decline in net sales prevented the absorption of fixed costs, resulting in an operating loss. As a result, net sales in the Aerospace and Industrial Products segment were ¥2,946 million, down 17.7% from the previous fiscal year, while segment loss (operating loss) was ¥105 million, compared with segment profit of ¥155 million in the previous fiscal year.」

「In terms of profit, although we worked to reduce manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative expenses, the substantial decline in net sales prevented the absorption of fixed costs, resulting in losses at each stage of the income statement.」

「In terms of profit, although we worked to reduce manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative expenses, the substantial decline in net sales prevented the absorption of fixed costs. As a result,」

「In terms of profit, although we worked to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses, the substantial decline in net sales prevented the absorption of fixed costs. As a result, net sales were ¥544 million, down 51.7% year on year, and segment loss (operating loss) was ¥176 million, compared with segment profit of ¥52 million in the same period of the previous year.」

「The decline in orders for large government aircraft has continued from the previous fiscal year, lowering plant utilisation. The resulting inability to absorb fixed costs and increase in the cost ratio has been a major factor behind the failure to meet the target management indicators.」

「In terms of profit, although selling, general and administrative expenses overall, including travel and meeting expenses, declined as a result of measures taken in response to COVID-19, profit margins declined because the decrease in net sales across all business segments and the resulting decline in production from lower orders prevented the absorption of fixed costs, resulting in lower profit from both the level of profit and the profit margin.」

「In terms of profit, although selling, general and administrative expenses overall, including travel and meeting expenses, declined as a result of measures taken in response to COVID-19, profit decreased due to higher cost of sales ratios in the Firefighting and Disaster Prevention segment and the Aerospace and Industrial Products segment.」

「In terms of profit, lower fixed-cost absorption from the previous fiscal year increased manufacturing costs. As a result, net sales were ¥1,125 million, up 12.5% year on year, while segment profit (operating profit) was ¥52 million, down 38.3% year on year.」

「During the cumulative consolidated third quarter, there were no material changes to the business or financial issues requiring attention, and no new issues arose.」

「During the cumulative consolidated second quarter, there were no material changes to the business or financial issues requiring attention, and no new issues arose.」

「Although there were factors increasing costs, such as requests for higher material prices and rising personnel expenses, improvements in production efficiency and the results of price negotiations limited the increase in the cost of sales to 0.6% year on year, broadly in line with the increase in net sales.」

「Under these circumstances, as a company that provides equipment for disaster relief activities and structural components for infrastructure facilities, our Group worked to contribute to maintaining a safe and secure society through proactive sales activities, including developing new markets and new customers in Japan and overseas, expanding into new businesses, and reviving existing businesses, as well as through efforts to plan and develop high-value-added products, achieve further cost reductions, and improve production efficiency.」
