The market of the social infrastructure systems business saw a decrease in demand relating to power generation worldwide and the reconsideration of the capital expenditure plans by railway companies in Japan due to the impact of COVID-19, while investment in public utilities for preventing and reducing disaster risks and demand relating to the electricity systems reform remained buoyant in Japan. In this environment, the business saw a decrease in orders from the previous fiscal year due primarily to decreases in the transportation systems and the power systems businesses in Japan, while revenue increased from the previous fiscal year due mainly to progress in orders already received for projects in the power systems business and an increase in the public utility systems business in Japan.

The market of the building systems business saw decreased demand in new installations and renewals of elevators and escalators worldwide due to delay in construction and the reconsideration of the capital expenditure plans that happened in stagnation caused by the impact of COVID-19. In this environment, the business saw decreases in both orders and revenue from the previous fiscal year due primarily to decreases in Asia and Japan.

As a result, revenue for this segment decreased by 3% from the previous fiscal year to 1,270.2 billion yen.

Operating profit increased by 26.6 billion yen from the previous fiscal year to 108.9 billion yen due mainly to a shift in project portfolios and cost improvement.
