Latest Financial Results and Full Year Forecast
Consolidated Financial Results for the Year Ended March 31, 2019
In the year ended March 31, 2019, the first year of Medium-Term Management Plan 2020—Commitment to Growth, the deceleration of the Chinese economy and trade friction between the United States and China created signs of slowdown in the global economy, which had previously been supported by strong consumption. In this environment, the Company’s revenue for the year ended March 31, 2019, was up year on year due to increased sales in the Metals & Mineral Resources Division, a result of rises in prices and transaction volumes for coal and other resources, and in the Automotive Division, a result of the acquisition of new domestic and overseas automotive dealership and other businesses. Profit for the year (attributable to owners of the Company) rose year on year, thanks to higher gross profit and an increase in share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method due to higher profit at an LNG operating company.
