First, the exchange rate assumptions for the results forecasts have been changed from 80 yen to the US dollar and 100 yen to the euro to 85 yen to the US dollar and 115 yen to the euro. The yen is down by 5 yen to the US dollar and 15 yen to the euro compared with the previous assumptions used.
Considering the progress up until the third quarter and incorporating the change in exchange rate assumptions, the previous initial forecasts will be continued for the Group and all segments. While differences have been recognized for each segment, there are currently no changes to the initial forecasts announced in May.
In terms of the dividend forecast, initial forecasts will also remain unchanged (a year-end dividend of 7.5 yen per share, combined with the interim dividend for an annual dividend of 15 yen per share).
