・ Revenue growth, price increases, fixed cost reductions, and foreign exchange effects helped to mitigate negative impact of continuing global inflation on profitability.
・ Revised guidance to update business profit in Energy Systems and Aircraft, Defense & Space with full-year company-wide totals unchanged.

CFO Message:
“MHI have had a stable first three quarters this fiscal year,” Hisato Kozawa, CFO of MHI commented. “We saw increases in orders and revenue in three out of four reporting segments arising from business expansion and benefits from the depreciation of the yen. Performance was especially strong in GTCC, Nuclear Power, Logistics Systems, and HVAC.” Kozawa continued, “That said, we still have our work cut out for ourselves in the fourth quarter as we work to offset profitability issues caused by a variety of factors such as global inflation using all of the tools available to us. Our goal for this fiscal year is to set the stage for a successful FY2023, during which we aim to achieve the targets laid out in our 2021 Medium-Term Business Plan.”
