Free cash flow this fiscal year is on an improving trend, as follows.
This fiscal year, in addition to increasing operating cash flow by means of improvements in working capital, reductions in investments resulted in free cash flow for the most recent quarter, improving by 10.2 billion yen, and by 36.6 billion yen on a 9-month basis.
We are working on various initiatives with the aim of achieving positive free cash flow by the end of the fiscal year while maintaining a balanced financial structure.
