With experience in over 50 countries, Kajima has a permanent presence
in 21 nations, and currently has 13 project offices which are directly managed
from Japan.
Kajima conducts most of its overseas operations through three
primary regional subsidiaries in
the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Each of these subsidiaries has
independent division companies engaged in construction, development, and design,
forming a far-reaching network that maximizes Kajima's global capacity to meet
the particular needs of each market. The remaining overseas work large-scale
civil engineering, and Japanese government official development assistance (ODA) is
managed directly from Japan.
Market Conditions and Business Performance
Kajima is working to achieve a consistent scale for its overseas operations by
pursuing contracts from a wide range of local clients, avoiding undue concentration
on certain companies or industries. In the term under review, the value of overseas
construction contracts reached 111
billion, with approximately 80% of these from local clients.
In the real estate development business, Kajima is working to
improve profitability in each region, while striving to reduce interest-bearing
debt. The Company is very selective about the projects it undertakes, maintaining
a sharp focus on risk management and profitability. Total revenues including construction
operations, real estate development and other businesses at Kajima's overseas
operations, combining subsidiaries and directly managed operations, were 191.3
billion.

national and local governments in the United Kingdom. Consolidated revenues at
KE were 21.8 billion.
Overseas Operations Managed Directly from
Japan

construction markets funded by local capital.

Future Outlook and Priorities
One of the key elements of Kajima's Medium-Term Business Plan is to achieve the
target of 235 billion
in revenues from overseas operations. Along with this, Kajima aims to establish
an overseas business framework capable of securing sound and stable recurring
profit. In the area of individual projects, the Company is pursuing a profit-oriented
strategy of selective business development, focusing on regions and fields where
the Company already has significant experience and expertise, while closely monitoring
changes in the market environment of each country and region.
