Next we will explain revenue and operating profit by business segment. The figures for the entire period are shown on the left and those for the fourth quarter are on the right.
We will be looking segment by segment in detail later, so here we will keep it short. On the whole, every segment saw both revenue and profit fall, but in optical systems for industrial use, measuring instrument sales grew significantly in the fourth quarter, driving a double-digit increase in revenue in the context of a strong yen. The contribution this made to increased profit in industrial business is one of the topics we want to take up.
