3. Qualitative information regarding consolidated business results

Domestic sales rose 11.0% compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year to 65,231 million yen, as replacement demand boosted sales of construction cranes, more than offsetting the decline in sales of truck loader cranes as the replacement demand cycle ended for trucks that meet new diesel emission regulations. Overseas sales rose 37.4% over the same period of the previous fiscal year to 57,595 million yen due to a considerable increase in sales of construction cranes in Europe and North America. As a result, total sales rose 22.0% to 122,827 million yen.

Ordinary income rose 33.7% to 12,519 million yen in the wake of increased sales, and net income for the three quarter period rose 41.6% to 8,252 million yen.
