This slide presents a year-on-year comparison of 1st quarter results for the company as a whole.
Due partly to the rise in the yen, there was a year-on-year decrease in revenue and profit, but please note the gross profit ratio. At 49.9%, it is up by over one point from the previous year, and has reached nearly 50%. Last year was a harsh one for the Business Technologies Business throughout the year, but even in that environment, we sold new products, handled with great care as sales in a value-added pattern, and we consider these to have contributed to an increase in our earning power.
Free cash flow was an outflow of ¥25.2 billion. This was the result of investments made to accelerate the growth strategy for next generation products. Specifically, this includes the additional investment in MGI (France) and the acquisition of a majority stake in MOBOTIX (Germany). A detailed explanation of our aims in this and related matters will be provided further on.
