Looking at the segments, the freight trucking business generated sales of 6.52 billion yen (up 3.6%) and segment profit of 471 million yen (up 3.4%).

Sales in the logistics center business reached 4.35 billion yen (up 21.5%), and segment profit reached 354 million yen (up 247.8%). The significant increase was due to the strong performance of logistics center operations contracted in the previous consolidated fiscal year, an increase in the volume of inbound and outbound work due to the expansion of clients' businesses, and further efficiency improvements through increased work productivity. Sales in this business account for 25.3% of the group's total sales.
The asset business generated sales of 4.664 billion yen (up 8.4%) and segment profit of 401 million yen (up 95.3%).

Sales from this business account for 27.1% of the group's total sales.
