We revised up initial earnings/dividends forecasts in the 4th quarter
COVID-19pandemic has made housing/building market considerably stagnant, however those impacts on our business have been going within our assumption.
In the fourth quarter, we recovered a depressed performance, and the profits exceeded our initial forecasts. Then we revised fiscal year end dividends upward to ¥15 per share from ¥10.
Both new housing and non-housing starts were decreased, however the market shows a sign of recovery.
Both Building Confirmation and Inspection and Housing Performance Evaluation services revenue decreased largely due to sluggish housing sector.
Solution and Other services revenue also decreased.
Year on year sales decreased, however, continuous cost reduction efforts and acquisition of Sakoken Co., Ltd. result in almost the same net income of the previous year.
