This slide is a cumulative 3Q operating profit analysis. Total consolidated revenue for the 9 months amounted to ¥747.0 billion, a decrease of ¥3.4 billion excluding forex impact. We recognize that Office Business bottomed out in 3Q, although sales declined in the first half of the year. In 4Q, we aim to convert to higher sales and profits. In Professional Print Business, cumulative sales also turned upward. In Healthcare Business, although 3Q sales declined, cumulative sales continued to increase. Optical systems for industrial use remained affected by lower sales due to restrained investments by customers in the first half of the fiscal year, while materials and components sales declined due to the impact of lower sales in 3Q. Sales of Bio-healthcare and other new businesses increased. In operating profit, although the cumulative decline in profits in many businesses has not been fully offset yet, we will work to improve each business in 4Q.
