On this slide, I will explain the main points for accomplishing full-year forecasts.
In the Business Technologies Business, we will aim to expand sales in the A3 color MFP high-speed segment overall within the office field and expand sales of new monochrome units employing the same platform as color units. In the production print field, we will aim to increase sales with plans to launch new color products in the fourth quarter. In the Business Technologies Business overall, although sales were solid in Europe in the third quarter, we will seek to boost sales in the Japanese and U.S. markets in the fourth quarter by making the most of new products. We will steadily implement measures in accord with our progress schedule toward the achievement of our cost reduction target of ¥8.0 billion for the year.
We conducted M&As in the third quarter as well with the aim of expanding hybrid-type business that combines MFPs with IT services.
For core products in the Industrial Business, despite the promise of a certain level of sales volumes in the first half, the fourth quarter is a period of low demand, and as a result, we will work to secure maximum sales volumes under these circumstances.
In the Healthcare Business, we were unable to finalize certain projects in the third quarter, so we will aim to steadily work away at these in the fourth quarter.
