Looking at net sales by business segment,
we see that sales in the automobile business fell by 147.7 billion yen, or 19.9%, year on year to total 594.3 billion yen due to declining sales volumes in the wake of the earthquake as well as foreign exchange losses due to the strong yen.
Increased sales at the Aerospace Division kept performance on a par with last year's figure of 37.4 billion yen despite foreign exchange loses.
Industrial Products Division sales were up 0.9 billion yen, or 5.5%, year on year to reach 17.3 billion yen due to increased sales of power generators used for reconstruction efforts following the March 11 earthquake.
