Summary of 1st Half of Fiscal 2013
and Management Strategy
- Finally, I would like to talk about Japan as the core market of the Dentsu Group.
- Sales in Japan as a single market account for the greatest percentage of sales of the Group. At the same time, Japan is the market where we have the richest business platform and customer base.
- In the first half of fiscal 2013, our gross profit, primarily that of Dentsu Inc., exceeded market growth, and significantly contributed to consolidated earnings.
We also improved profitability as a result of our continued efforts toward cost control. - We will continue to work on reinforcing our business platform and improving profitability while making the most of abundant resources and a wide customer base to create new growth opportunities.
