Developing Orders for Private-Sector and Public Works Projects in the Crushed Stone Business

「We strengthened sales activities and focused on capturing public-sector construction demand, including seawall and land-development projects, as well as large-scale private-sector construction demand. As a result of also negotiating selling prices, revenue was ¥127 million, up 5.8% year on year, and segment profit was ¥13 million, up 125.1%.」

「Against this backdrop, our Group focused on capturing demand for public and private works, while also working to negotiate selling prices and reduce costs such as transportation and fuel expenses.

「Although public- and private-sector construction demand began to show signs of recovery in the crushed-stone business, it had not yet reached a full-scale recovery, and the business remained in a difficult environment as the impact of higher prices and resource costs continued.」

「In the crushed stone business, conditions remained challenging in the regions where we operate, as budgets were concentrated on public works unrelated to our business and demand for private-sector construction was also sluggish, leaving both public and private works centered on small- and medium-sized projects. We focused on securing nearby regional projects by strengthening sales activities and worked to negotiate selling prices. However, the decline in overall transaction volume resulted in revenue of ¥205 million, down 34.8% year on year, and segment profit of ¥6 million, down 55.6% year on year.」

We steadily secured land development projects for automobile manufacturing plants and large commercial facilities, among others, and continued working to win orders for public works such as seawall and road construction. However, in addition to the decline in overall transaction volume, operating trouble with production equipment and machinery reduced production efficiency. As a result, revenue was ¥315 million, down 9.3% year on year, and the segment posted a loss of ¥16 million, compared with segment profit of ¥47 million in the same period of the previous year.」

「In the crushed stone business, conditions remained challenging in the regions where we operate, as budgets were prioritized for disaster recovery work and the deterioration of the economic environment caused by COVID-19 meant that both public- and private-sector projects tended to be small-scale.
