Net Sales
As a result of pushing ahead with key initiatives based on the various measures in its Medium-term Management Plan (fiscal 2014 - fiscal 2016), taking steps to improve and expand its domestic base of operations, including enhancing its branches in the Tokyo metropolitan area and other locations where public and private sector demand is concentrated, and converting Nishiken Co., Ltd., the largest construction equipment rental firm in the Kyushu Region, into a subsidiary, Kanamoto was able to marginally exceed net sales in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Earnings
Operating income, ordinary income, and profit attributable to owners of the parent were all lower than in the same period one year earlier, reflecting factors such as investments in rental equipment the Company continues to undertake in order to pursue its regional strategy aimed at enhancing and expanding its base of operations, and the concomitant increase in the burden for depreciation and amortization.
