Finally, I will explain points of focus to achieve the full-year forecasts as well as risks to be considered.
In the Business Technologies Business, efforts will be made to: (1) focus on sales of color products and high-segment products; (2) continue with initiatives to reduce costs; and (3) promote transformation of the business portfolio by strengthening the service business.
In the Industrial Business, efforts will be made to: (1) secure sales for TAC film through thin-type products; (2) further cultivate customers for measuring instruments by leveraging synergy with Instrument Systems that the Group acquired; and (3) enhance earnings in underperforming businesses.
In the Healthcare Business, the Group will concentrate on further expanding sales of strong-selling DR products.
The following two risks need to be considered in order to achieve the full-year forecasts: (1) market deterioration in line with prolonged problems in Europe and stagnant growth in emerging countries, including China; and (2) price variation due to the yenfs depreciation and the sharp rebound to yen appreciation in foreign exchange rates.
