In the Energy Infrastructure business, on the background of strong demand for extra-high voltage underground cables, submarine and underground cables for renewable energy in Japan, Power Cable division has worked on enhancing cable manufacturing capacity and construction capacity. Also, we have transferred all stakes in a Chinese subsidiary for the business restructuring purpose. In the Industrial Cable & Power Cable Accessories business, metal cable businesses within the Group were integrated for the purpose of maximizing synergy effect such as the expansion of sales channels by leveraging trade areas/commercial distribution, and the increased competitiveness through efficient allocation of resources. The business also strived to expand sales of functional cables such as aluminum CV cables which are lightweight and highly flexible and contribute to increased efficiency of installation work and labor-saving, and focus products such as plug-in connectors with cables which receive high reputation for the mechanism for preventing incorrect insertion allowing for safe and speedy use regardless of skills of users. Also, the business has worked on order-taking with the emphasis on securing profit and optimization of selling prices, and as a result, net sales and profit remained at the same level as the previous year.
