The full-year forecasts, which are for revenue of ¥1.1 trillion, operating profit of ¥77 billion and profit for the year of ¥50 billion with an ROE of 10%, have not been revised.
Compared to the forecast of ¥77 billion in operating profit, 1Q OP came to ¥10 billion, which is 13% of full-year guidance. If the impact of the special factors of ¥2 billion for early retirement were excluded, this would have been 16%. This is slightly below plan, but we remain confident that we can achieve the respective original forecasts of ¥77 billion and ¥50 billion.
Our assumption for the exchange rate is unchanged at 120 yen to the US dollar and 130 yen to the euro. With the prospect of a rise in dollar interest rates, our reading is that, against the euro, the yen will strengthen slightly, and so it seems best to maintain our assumption of 130 yen. As for the P&L, we have kept our official forecast unchanged, but due to the acquisition of treasury shares we have revised EPS to ¥100.71 on a strictly mathematical basis.
