1) Summary of Financial Results
Net Sales: Down overall (remaining flat YoY), as Public Solutions' growth in map data and contract projects was offset by Mobility Solutions' sluggish sales of
car navigation data and the absence of prior year's one-time revenue.
Earnings: EBITDA and operating profit declined due to sales mix changes and rising labor costs, while ordinary profit saw only a slight decline (flat YoY) supported by an improvement in net non-operating income from equity-method net gains and FX effects.
Profit attributable to owners of parent: UP YoY, driven by the recognition of gain on sale of investment securities resulting from the reduction of strategic shareholdings.
