Financial HighlightsTo Our Shareholders Segment Information
쎲 Thermal Power Generation Systems
Sales were up compared with the previous fiscal year.
Despite delays in the overseas thermal power generation
system project, this improvement was attributable to an
increase of new thermal power generation system construc-
tion projects and preventive maintenance services in Japan.
On the earnings front, profi ts deteriorated substantially
resulting in a loss. This mainly reflected additional costs
incurred with respect to defects in boiler materials and delays
in overseas thermal power generation system projects.
쎲 Nuclear Power Generation Systems
Sales decreased year over year due mainly to lower sales of
nuclear power generation systems as a result of the earth-
quake disaster in Japan.
The sector also incurred a loss in its nuclear power gener-
ation systems activities. In addition to the drop in sales, this
substantial deterioration was primarily due to the payment of
compensation following litigation against the turbine damage
at a nuclear power station in Japan.
쎲 Others
Sales increased year over year owing mainly to growth in
the industrial-use electric device and healthcare systems
businesses.
Refl ecting the year over year downturn in profi ts, the sector
incurred a loss as a result of damage to power semiconduc-
tor manufacturing facilities caused by the earthquake disaster.
