Summary of Consolidated Financial Results: Second Quarter Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2018 (Japan)

The consolidated financial results for Hibiya Engineering, Ltd. for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, reflect a period of mixed operational performance against a backdrop of moderate economic recovery in Japan. While the company experienced a decline in core profitability, significant gains from the sale of investment securities bolstered the bottom line. The report covers the six-month period from April 1, 2017, to September 30, 2017, and adheres to Japanese GAAP accounting standards. Operational data indicates that net sales decreased by 6.4% year-on-year to 27,705 million yen, and operating profit fell by 54.1% to 708 million yen. Ordinary profit also saw a decline of 37.8% to 918 million yen. Despite these operational contractions, profit attributable to owners of the parent surged by 454.8% to 5,006 million yen, primarily driven by 4,523 million yen in extraordinary income generated from the sale of investment securities. Orders received during the period showed resilience, increasing by 3.6% to 35,654 million yen, supported by steady demand in the construction sector for redevelopment and productivity-enhancing capital expenditures. The company’s financial position remains stable, with total assets of 82,615 million yen and an equity ratio of 80.5% as of September 30, 2017. Total liabilities decreased significantly to 14,302 million yen, largely due to a reduction in notes and accounts payable. Management has maintained its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2018, projecting net sales of 75,000 million yen and an operating profit of 4,000 million yen. No changes were reported regarding accounting principles, significant subsidiaries, or going concern assumptions during this reporting period.

Summary of Consolidated Financial Results: Second Quarter of Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2012 (Japan)

The consolidated financial results for Hibiya Engineering, Ltd. for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, reflect a challenging operating environment characterized by the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, a strong yen, and global economic instability. The company, which operates within the Japanese construction industry, reported net sales of 22,881 million yen for the period ending September 30, 2011, representing a 1.0% decline compared to the same period in the previous year. Profitability metrics saw a significant downturn during this six-month interval. The company recorded an operating loss of 485 million yen, a sharp reversal from the 568 million yen operating income reported in the first half of the prior fiscal year. Similarly, ordinary income shifted from a gain of 1,111 million yen to a loss of 9 million yen, ultimately resulting in a net loss of 199 million yen. Despite these results, the company maintained a solid financial position with total assets of 65,479 million yen and an equity ratio of 76.3%. The decline in performance is attributed to a difficult construction market, specifically the prolonged slump in public-works investments, which offset signs of improvement in certain private-sector categories. While the company pursued aggressive business activities to secure orders—totaling 25,240 million yen for the period—the cost of sales and administrative expenses weighed heavily on the bottom line. Management has maintained its original full-year forecast, anticipating net sales of 64,000 million yen and a net income of 2,400 million yen for the fiscal year ending March 2012.

Summary of Consolidated Financial Results: Second Quarter Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2013

Hibiya Engineering, Ltd. reported a return to profitability for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in the previous year. The company’s consolidated financial results for the six-month period ending September 30, 2012, show net sales of 29,201 million yen, representing a 27.6% increase year-on-year. This growth was driven by a 26.5% rise in orders received, totaling 31,935 million yen, as the company leveraged its market position amidst a construction industry environment bolstered by post-earthquake recovery efforts. Profitability metrics improved significantly during this period. The company recorded an operating income of 148 million yen, a recovery from the 485 million yen loss reported in the first half of the previous fiscal year. Ordinary income reached 356 million yen, compared to a 9 million yen loss in the prior year, and net income stood at 234 million yen, reversing a 199 million yen loss. These results were achieved despite ongoing challenges in the Japanese economy, including intense price-based competition and global economic uncertainties. The company’s financial position as of September 30, 2012, reflected total assets of 68,555 million yen and total liabilities of 16,170 million yen. The reduction in total assets from the previous fiscal year-end was primarily attributed to decreases in accounts receivable and cash deposits, partially offset by an increase in short-term investment securities. Management maintained its full-year forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2013, projecting net sales of 66,000 million yen and net income of 2,000 million yen. The company also implemented a revision to its depreciation method in accordance with changes to Japan’s Corporate Income Tax Law, though the impact on earnings was noted as negligible.
