The initial forecast for net sales of ¥1,000.0 billion has been changed to ¥1,010.0 billion. The revision of forex assumptions from 1 US$ = ¥100 to 1 US$ = ¥105 will result in a sales increase of ¥7.5 billion, and this ¥7.5 billion will particularly affect the Business Technologies Business. As a result of factors including the forex impact, net sales have been upwardly revised by ¥10.0 billion for the Business Technologies Business and by ¥5.0 billion for the Industrial Business. In consideration of performance for the Healthcare Business during the 1H, it is necessary to view the outlook for the 2H more conservatively, and the forecast has been downwardly revised by ¥5.0 billion accordingly. While operating income is ¥3.0 billion higher than the previous forecast of ¥62.0 billion, the forecast will be unchanged for the 2H for the Business Technologies Business in consideration of uncertainty in the European economy. For the Industrial Business, while performance was higher than expectations during the 1H resulting in a revision to the initial forecasts, the company's initial forecasts will be maintained for the 2H at this point.
Meanwhile, results for the Healthcare Business and Eliminations and Corporate are expected to fall short of expectations by ¥2.5 billion and ¥1.0 billion, respectively, so the total revision will be ¥6.5 billion.
