by 4.733 billion yen, ordinary profit increasing by 64.7% to 5.337 billion yen, and interim net profit attributable to the parent company's shareholders increasing by 74.0% to 3.384 billion yen.

Leasing business revenue increased by 1.1% year-on-year to 113.697 billion yen, while operating profit decreased by 0.182 billion yen to 2.503 billion yen due to increased sales and general administrative expenses. Contract execution amount increased by 10.6% year-on-year, deal amount decreased by 11.5%. The increase in the contract execution amount is attributed to smooth progress in project bookings, mainly from government agencies. Deal amount decrease is primarily due to the inclusion of large government agency projects in the previous year, resulting in a net increase compared to the previous year excluding this impact.

Finance business revenue increased by 1.1% to 3.979 billion yen, with operating profit increasing by 1.202 billion yen to 1.932 billion yen due to a reduction in provisions for bad debt. Contract execution amount and deal amount both fell compared to the previous year, mainly due to a decrease in short-term corporate loans.

Investment business revenue decreased by 29.2% to 4.158 billion yen, while operating profit increased by 0.208 billion yen to 1.144 billion yen. The decrease in revenue compared to the previous year is attributed to a large real estate sale in the previous year. However, increased bond collection revenue and strong interest income resulted in higher total revenue and operating profit compared to the previous year.

Revenue from other businesses increased by 12.4% to 1.956 billion yen, while operating profit remained similar to the previous year at 0.294 billion yen due to increased sales and general administrative expenses. Fee income from PFI and revenue from solar power sales performed well, leading to higher revenue and total revenue compared to the previous year.

For the full year of the 2025 March period, revenue is expected to be 260 billion yen, a 1.6% increase from the previous period. Operating profit is expected to increase by 2.6% YoY to 12 billion yen, ordinary profit is expected to increase by 5.8% YoY to 12.5 billion yen, and net income attributable to parent company shareholders is expected to increase by 13.7% YoY to 8 billion yen, based on the initial plan.
