Because the fourth quarter is the peak period for demand in the Healthcare Business in Japan, we will push to expand sales of the three pillars of DR, ultrasound and medical IT, in a bid to maximize business operating profit.
In measuring instruments the postponement of the major order has continued, but we plan to ensure that shipments go ahead and that these lead to contributions to profit.
In performance materials, the aim is to expand sales of the products we consider to be strategic, such as ultra-thin film, QWP film, new VA-TAC film and ZeroTAC film for IPS panels, and link these profit contributions.
