Corporate Data Segment Information
Social Infrastructure & Industrial Systems
Segment revenues increased 4% year over year to
¥1,204.9 billion. This positive result was mainly attribut-
able to higher revenues from plant-related equipment
and construction activities in Japan as a recovery of the
Great East Japan Earthquake began to wane. Improved
results also refl ected steady contributions from over-
seas elevator and escalator operations.
Segment profi t climbed 23% year over year to ¥49.1
billion, owing primarily to the increase in revenues as
well as successful efforts to promote cost reductions.
