NEC Networks & System Integration Corporation announced consolidated earnings results for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. For the period, the company reported net sales of JPY 179,314 million compared to JPY 194,120 million a year ago. This was caused by a substantial decline in sales in the Carrier Networks business linked to the restraint on capital spending by telecom carriers, despite an increase in sales to other enterprises. Another factor was the completion of projects in response to the digitalization of fire-fighting and emergency radio systems in May 2016. Operating income was JPY 3,456 million compared to JPY 6,634 million a year ago. Ordinary income was JPY 3,594 million compared to JPY 6,768 million a year ago. Income before income taxes and minority interests was JPY 3,507 million compared to JPY 6,225 million a year ago. Profit attributable to owners of parent was JPY 2,132 million or JPY 42.96 per share compared to JPY 4,007 million or JPY 80.74 per share a year ago.
