First-half operating profit is expected to reach ¥850 million, down year on year. This figure provides the basis for the upward revision.
In the first half, the impact of the situation in the Middle East was less significant than expected, while parts sales and maintenance performed well in the industrial machinery, construction machinery and environmental equipment businesses. The acquisition of a large recycling equipment project and increased demand related to chemical products also contributed.
The company is reviewing demand trends for resources and metal materials in the second half in assessing its full-year outlook, but expects the industrial machinery, construction machinery and chemical products businesses to remain firm.
