As a result, consolidated operating income and consolidated ordinary income also rose for the fifth consecutive period. However, due to the booking of a loss associated with the cancellation of the project utilizing the space above the tracks at Hakata Station, net income attributable to owners of the parent declined for the second consecutive period.
