During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, in the Housing business, despite a year-on year decrease in the number of houses ordered, unit prices were higher and there were effects from the leveling of construction work, and sales increased in the Housing Renovation business and the Town and Community Development business, resulting in higher sales and profit in this segment.
In the Housing business, the number of houses ordered decreased year-on-year due to lower purchasing intent caused by higher prices and other factors.
