For the fiscal year under review, segment revenues
increased 24% year over year to ¥951.6 billion. This was
mainly due to the conversion of Vantec Corporation into
a subsidiary by Hitachi Transport Systems, Ltd. as well
as healthy growth in third-party logistics solutions.
Segment profi t totaled ¥33.2 billion, an increase of
15% year over year. This was largely attributable to
higher year over year revenues.

Segment revenues decreased 5% year over year to ¥353.2
billion. Despite healthy overseas sales trends, this decrease
was largely attributable to a drop in revenues from the
nancial services business for corporations in Japan.
In contrast, segment profi t was ¥30.2 billion, up 112%
year over year. Notwithstanding the downturn in reve-
nues, this upswing in earnings was the result of success-
ful efforts to reduce fi nancing costs and credit costs.
