쎲 Hitachi Capital Corporation
Revenues decreased compared with the previous fi scal year.
Notwithstanding solid results in its overseas business mainly
in Asia, Hitachi Capital was negatively impacted by such
factors a drop in revenues from the fi nancial services busi-
ness for corporations in Japan.
Earnings, on the other hand, increased compared with fi s-
cal 2010. Despite the downturn in revenues, the company
benefi tted from successful efforts to contain fi nancial expens-
es both in Japan and overseas as well as the positive effects
of reduced credit costs particularly in the U.S. and Europe.
