Summary of FY2013 and Management Strategy
- Profitability has dramatically improved in our business in Japan.
- To further improve our profitability, we will make efforts to reduce costs on a consolidated basis and focus on expansion of the highly-profitable fee businesses in addition to implementing cost controls.
- At the same time, DAN is improving its management platform in the areas of IT, human resources and finance in preparation for the future, and therefore is seeing temporary cost increases.
- According to our plan for DAN, costs will continue to precede revenues until the end of 2014 and will be followed by margin improvement in 2015.
