prices and logistics costs, heightening the sense of uncertainty about the future of the
global economy.
→ Regarding the market environment surrounding the Company, the mild recovery trend
from the COVID-19 crisis continues in Japan. Overseas, while the sense of uncertainty
caused by China’s zero-COVID policy cannot be dispelled, the expansion of demand forconstruction equipment is expected to continue in Europe and North America.
