1. Management Performance and Financial Conditions

(1) Management Results

In the three-yearmedium-term management plan entitled " Realizing Tomorrow's Opportunities 2022 ", which ends in FY2022, the Consolidated Group is currently working to achieve sustainable growth and improve enterprise value through four management strategies: Strengthen value chain business; Provide enhanced solutions at every contact with customers; Form highly flexible corporate structure; and a new one Realize strategies throughout North, Central and South America.

During the 3Q of fiscal year under review (April 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022), demand for hydraulic excavators continued to decline year on year, in line with our expectations. In terms of region, demand in China and Russia/CIS significantly declined year on year.

On the other hand, demand for mining machinery remained strong in the market as a whole due to continued strong appetite for customers' investment against a backdrop of high resource prices and continued demand for overhaul and regular maintenance associated with high-capacity utilization.

In this environment, revenue was ¥902,748 million (an increase of 25.3% year on year), reflecting a significant year-on-year increase in the value chain business that we have focused on, in addition to new machinery sales for construction and mining, as well as the impact of yen depreciation and other factors.

As for consolidated income items, adjusted operating income increased significantly to

¥87,208 million (an increase of 42.3% year on year) mainly due to an increase in revenue and the impact of yen depreciation and other factors, despite the absence of adjustment amount due to the determination of sales prices for the Americas, which is a one-time profit recorded in the 2Q of the previous fiscal year, and an increase in costs throughout the 3Q of fiscal year under review mainly due to steel prices. On the other hand, net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥ 43,055 million (a decrease of 7.3% year on year), affected by non-operating foreign exchange losses, impairment losses on investments accounted for using the equity method and other factors.

Business results by segment are described below.

Construction machinery business

During the 3Q of fiscal year under review, revenue was ¥811,644 million (an increase of 23.8% year on year) and adjusted operating income was ¥79,567 million (an increase of 40.9% year on year).

The business impact of procurement and logistics delays that occurred in the 1Q of the current fiscal year improved significantly from the 2Q. The Americas business, which began full-scale independent development in the current fiscal year, also performed better than expected. Supported by strong orders in various regions, both new machinery sales for construction and mining and the value chain business, centered on parts and services, performed well significantly growing year on year.

Solution business

This segment consists primarily of Bracken Pty Limited and its subsidiaries, which are engaged in the parts and services business in the after-sales of mining facilities and machinery, and H-E Parts International LLC and its subsidiaries, which provide service solutions.

During the 3Q of fiscal year under review, revenue was ¥95,625 million (an increase of 42.2% year on year) due to the strong performance of the mining market environment, as well as the impact of exchange rates and other factors. Adjusted operating income was ¥7,641 million (an increase of 58.0% year on year) mainly due to an increase in revenue and the impact of foreign exchange rates, despite the impact of an increase in costs mainly in
