Adding Domestic Sales Offices and Expanding Manufacturing Staffing

「In the fourth quarter, new orders increased particularly in air-conditioning equipment manufacturing and semiconductor manufacturing.」

「In the insourcing and staffing business, revenue increased as order volumes continued to grow steadily in defense, medical equipment, electronic devices and semiconductors, and automotive-related fields, including rubber products. In logistics, demand remained strong, with both additional orders from existing customers and new orders performing well.」

「In the insourcing and dispatch business, orders from the medical equipment and electronic device sectors progressed steadily, resulting in higher revenue. Demand remained strong in logistics and passenger services, supported by inbound tourism, and both additional orders from existing customers and new orders were strong. Several existing customers also shifted from manufacturing dispatch to contract services. As a result, revenue was ¥29,386 million, up 3.9% year on year.」

「In the insourcing and staffing business, orders and contract work progressed steadily from electronic devices and semiconductor manufacturing-related customers, medical equipment-related customers, automakers and several major automotive parts manufacturers, resulting in an increase in revenue. In logistics, passenger services and retail, among other areas, inbound demand remained strong, with both additional orders from existing customers and new orders performing well.」

「In the insourcing and dispatch business, orders and contracts from the recovering automotive sector, medical equipment, semiconductor manufacturing and other manufacturing industries progressed steadily, resulting in higher revenue. Demand remained strong in logistics, passenger services and retail, supported by robust inbound tourism, and both additional orders from existing customers and new orders were strong.」

「In the insourcing and dispatch business, revenue and profit were negatively affected in the third quarter by shutdowns caused by supply-chain disruptions following the Noto Peninsula earthquake in January, 2 fewer operating days in March during the busy season than in the previous year, and frequent production cuts and shutdowns, mainly among automotive companies. Food-related and medical equipment businesses remained resilient. Demand remained strong in logistics, passenger services and retail, supported by robust inbound tourism, and both additional orders from existing customers and new orders were strong. New orders in semiconductor manufacturing, a priority industry, also contributed to higher revenue, albeit gradually.」

「Demand remained strong in logistics, aviation and hotels, and retail stores and convenience stores, supported by robust inbound tourism. Both additional orders from existing customers and new orders were strong. New semiconductor-related orders in a priority industry also contributed to higher revenue despite a gradual recovery. As a result, revenue was ¥14,214 million, up 11.5% year on year, and segment profit was ¥886 million, up 1.8%.」

「Production recovered in the automotive, agricultural machinery and compact construction equipment fields as component supply constraints from the previous fiscal year were resolved, driving performance. Food-related and medical equipment businesses also remained resilient. Demand remained strong in logistics, aviation and hotels, and retail stores and convenience stores, supported by robust inbound tourism, and both additional orders from existing customers and new orders were strong.」

「Demand in the automotive sector showed signs of recovery, and the company secured a large order in June this year.」

「In logistics, aviation and tourism, retail stores and convenience stores, among other areas, demand remained strong from the previous fiscal year, supported by robust additional orders from existing customers, new customer wins and the resumption of business with customers whose transactions had been suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, revenue was ¥18,852.821 million, up 12.9% year on year, and segment profit was ¥1,155.451 million, up 9.6%.」

「In the insourcing and dispatch business, some automotive production was postponed again due to supply-chain disruptions caused by constraints on the supply of semiconductors and other components. However, demand remained strong in medical equipment, agricultural machinery, housing equipment, logistics, aviation and tourism, and retail stores and convenience stores. Revenue was broadly in line with the plan, supported by strong additional orders from existing customers, the acquisition of new customers and the resumption of business with customers whose contracts had temporarily ended during the COVID-19 pandemic.」

「Demand was strong in medical equipment, agricultural machinery, housing equipment, semiconductors, logistics, aviation and tourism, and retail stores and convenience stores. Increased staffing needs arising from higher production drove growth in new business and strong additional orders from existing customers, resulting in revenue broadly in line with the plan. As a result, revenue was ¥6,250 million, up 16.3% year on year, and segment profit was ¥446 million, up 31.6%.」

「In the insourcing and dispatch business, some automotive production was postponed in the first quarter due to semiconductor supply constraints, but demand was strong in the second quarter as recovery production took place. Revenue was also supported by increased staffing for higher production in the medical equipment field, the steady acquisition of new customers, resilient performance in food manufacturing without the decline seen after the Olympics and Paralympics, and strong performance in housing-equipment components, agricultural machinery and logistics. Revenue was therefore broadly in line with the plan.」

「By region, the results of efforts to strengthen operations in western Japan since the previous fiscal year became evident, and revenue benefited from progress in developing new customers, mainly major companies in the electronic components and automotive industries. As a result, revenue was ¥10,471 million, up 15.5% year on year, and segment profit was ¥1,039 million, up 33.2%.」

「By region, the results of efforts to strengthen operations in the Chugoku and northern Kyushu regions since the previous fiscal year became evident and contributed to revenue.」
