 |
(1) |
Sales were steady at around 74,500 million. |
| |
Overseas sales were up by 500 million (up 10%), mostly to
North America. |
| (2) |
Ordinary profit was up 48%, to 1,900 million. |
| |
|
Operating income was up 300 million on last period due to cost cutting
and the reduction of fixed expenses, at 2,500 million (up 15%).
300 million of reduced interest
due to a reduction in interest-bearing liabilities was added to operating income
to make ordinary profits rise by 600
million,
to be 1,900 million (up 48%). |
| |
(3) |
Net income for the period rose 500
million to 1,500 million (up 50%) due in part to the gain made on the devolution
of
vehicle-leasing activities. |
| 2. |
Reduction of consolidated interest-bearing liabilities |
 |
Interest-bearing liabilities were down 13,900
million on the same period
last year, due to a reduction in inventories (down 3,600 million on the same
period last year), a reduction in accounts receivable and the devolution of
the
vehicle- leasing business.
In August and September 2003, 8,000 million of corporate bonds and debentures
were repaid. |
