tadano atf100g 4 debut

Japanese crane and aerial lift manufacturer Tadano has posted a solid pick up in the first quarter to the end of June, driven by mobile crane exports.

Total results

Total revenue for the three months was ¥77.7 billion ($567 million), up nine per cent from the same period last year. Of this ¥15.99 billion (116.7 million) was generated in Japan, a 22 per cent drop last year, while exports improved 21 per cent to ¥61.7 billion ($450 million). Pre-tax profit came in at ¥2.3 billion ($16.9 million) down from ¥11 billion ($80.3 million) last year, however, that included a one-off exceptional gain, without which the underlying profit was only ¥427 million ($3.1 million) so compared to that this year’s result is a five-fold increase.
