The overarching company climate that envelopes the particular company group during the current consolidated cumulative third quarter is one where measures to combat COVID-19 have been adopted, accompanied by the particular continuous transition to normal socioeconomic activities. On the other hand, factors such as the prolonged lockdown within Shanghai plus geo-political tensions in Ukraine led to sudden price jumps for various materials and delays in supply chains, the impact of which still currently persists from the previous quarter.

In the environmental gear segment, domestic sales associated with Johkasou/wastewater treatment systems declined from the same period of the previous year, largely due in order to the progression status of large-scale construction projects. Overseas sales continue to be affected by the influence from the COVID-19 pandemic, but still see improvement because of projects like the delivery associated with Johkasou systems to the particular JICA support project along with Iraq . Sales generated by servicing (a recurring-revenue business) are performing steadily as the Company promotes contract expansion.

In the household products segment, product sales for building related companies declined due to saturation in demand for non-contact type items which had been in high demand the earlier year because of the particular COVID-19 pandemic. Severe delays in product supply continue as a direct result of shipping restrictions placed on manufacturers in relation to the Shanghai lockdown that happened in March. Sales of home center retail products have furthermore seen downturn due to the effect of supply disruptions caused by delivery restrictions on manufacturers. Housing facilities projects recorded sales in the particular third quarter because of the completion of structure for DCM group, which operates hardware storefronts.

A website regarding the EC business was created in January of 2022, and official Instagram and Youtube accounts were launched to improve PR operations. The EC business consists of online orders for home equipment design, the Company is building a nationwide EC business for home facility renovation under the own administration in addition to collaborative work with the equipment store company group DCM.

Furthermore, before said acquisition, product sales in energy and solar energy generation were mainly carried out by renting store roof space form DCM Holdings Co., Ltd. and installing solar strength generation devices within this space and using this equipment in order to sell electricity under Japan’s feed-in contract price (FIT) system. In inclusion to using its own facilities for FIT activities, since the subsidiary will be capable of proposing, constructing, and maintaining solar power generation facilities, it not only sells electricity through its own property, but also engage s in sales of power era facilities. When profit margins for the sale of power generation conducted up until now are compared with groups that operated under FIT, a disparity is occurring between the rate of change for lower profit margins of the sale of facilities to high sales and the rate associated with change in segment profit margin.

Currently there are 22 sites operational with plans to operate a total of seventy websites by 2025.
