Finance/biz guys, is this three-month or nine-month?

For those who understand business/finance and Japanese, I have a question. I’m having difficulty figuring the following:

2022年3月期第3四半期の連結業績(2021年4月1日~2021年12月31日)

Is this saying these are just Q3 numbers, so just the financials for the third quarter will be in the document? Or is this referring to the nine-month numbers? It seems from my reading to mean both or either. I can’t quite figure this out.

  1. It seems in Japan, 四半期 often starts on April 1st and ends on March 31st of the next year.
    “2022年3月期”. I think it’s the accounting system in which the fiscal year ends on march 31st of 2022. “第3” is the third, “四半期” means quarters of a fiscal year, and “連結業績” means consolidated earnings.

    2022年3月期第3四半期の連結業績(2021年4月1日~2021年12月31日)I think means total earnings during the three quarters starting on 4/1/2022 and ending on 12/31/2022.

    I do not have any knowledge about Japanese accounting nor have any accounting degrees or experiences.
