This slide provides an explanation of the Group's financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending in March 2013 and an overview of the three core businesses. A detailed explanation of the individual businesses will be given on the following slides.
Firstly, the Group's net sales of ¥189.4 billion represent a 2% increase year on year, and a 6% increase year on year when the loss of ¥8.0 billion caused by foreign exchange rates is excluded. The Group's operating income of ¥6.3 billion nearly doubled year on year. This represents a year-on-year increase of nearly three times when the loss of ¥4.1 billion caused by foreign exchange rates is excluded. The operating margin also increased from 1.8% to 3.3%.
In Business Technologies Business, despite the impact of the strong yen and weak euro, there was no significant change in sales momentum itself.
The most significant contribution to profits was made by the Industrial Business. This was underpinned by an improvement in earnings in the optical products segment including strongly performing TAC films, glass substrates for HDDs, lens units, and replacement lenses during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending in March 2013.
Unfortunately, an operating loss was recorded in the Healthcare Business. However, net sales and operating income both increased year on year due to an increase in sales of digital medical equipment including Computed Radiography (CR) and Digital Radiography (DR) offsetting a decrease in film sales.
