Analyses of Consolidated Financial Condition, Operating Results and Cash Flows (1) Outline of Business Results Results of Operations During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, the global economy expanded at a moderate pace. In the U.S., consumer spending and capital investment remained firm. In Europe, mainly in Germany, the economy continued to recover slowly. In China, increases in infrastructure spending and consumer spending underpinned economic growth. The Japanese economy has continued its moderate recovery trend, reflecting firm consumer spending due to improving employment and income and upward trend in capital investment. Under these conditions, results of operations in the nine months ended December 31, 2017 were as follows. Revenues increased 2% to ¥6,674.0 billion, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2016, due mainly to higher revenues in the Construction Machinery segment, in which overseas sales has increased mainly in China, and in the High Functional Materials & Components segment, in which sales of the electronics- and automotive-related products has increased. The increase was partially offset by the effect of the move to transform business portfolio such as conversion of Hitachi Capital Corporation and Hitachi Transport System, Ltd. to equity-method associates and deconsolidation of Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd. in the year ended March 31, 2017. Cost of sales increased 2% to ¥4,896.9 billion, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2016, and the ratio of cost of sales to revenues decreased 1% to 73%. Gross profit increased 4% to ¥1,777.0 billion, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Selling, general and administrative expenses
