Next, we will look at an overview of performance by segment.
Performance continued to soar in the core Business Technologies Business, with the operating income ratio improving from 9.2% in the second quarter to 9.6% in the third quarter.
Conversely, profit was down in the Industrial Business due to a decline in sales volumes of TAC films, a prime source of earnings. Although the Healthcare Business fell slightly short of targets, we are confident that full-year forecasts are within an achievable scope.
