・ In the engineer dispatching business, due to an increasing number of engineers and the utilization rate remaining high, the number of operative personnel surpassed that of the previous year. In addition, the trend of engineer shortage and wage increases by companies pushed up the unit price for newly graduated engineers at their first assignments, and current engineers were rotated between clients to improve engineers’ work level. In turn, the unit price of engineers surpassed that of the previous year. In the contracting business, aggressive sales activities have led to an increasing number of engineers assigned to contracted projects. Furthermore, we shifted from engineer dispatching to contracting projects in response to client needs. In turn, the ratio of the contracting business to net sales became 11.6%. As a result of all this, net sales increased 10.0% year on year to ¥11,125 million.
