This graph breaks down the business factors and external and special factors driving year-on-year changes in operating profit for each of our businesses. In the third quarter, FOREX effects had a negative impact of 6.1 billion yen, and gains on the sale of the North American warehouse in the previous fiscal year had a negative effect of 0.5 billion yen. On the other hand, due to patent-related income of 7.8 billion yen posted in the Industrial Business, “Other income and expense” constituted a positive factor of 8.1 billion yen.
On a 9-month basis, “Other income and expense” pushed up profit by 8.6 billion yen. Gains on the sale of the North American warehouse of 3.1 billion yen posted in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year had a negative impact in this fiscal year, but conversely, the special extra retirement payment of 2.5 billion yen recorded in the first half of last year has become a positive factor in this fiscal year.
