Consolidated net income in fiscal 2013 was ¥223.1 billion, lower than an initially forecast ¥240.0 billion.
This was mainly due to a ¥27.7 billion impairment loss posted on a coal mining project in Australia. As resource prices are expected to remain lackluster, the forecast for consolidated net income in fiscal 2014 was revised to ¥250.0 billion, from ¥270.0 billion initially.
Basic profit increased by ¥28.6 billion to ¥245.0 billion in fiscal 2013. In particular, basic profit on non-resource businesses reached ¥208.4 billion as a result of steady growth of the earnings pillars.
