2. Reason for revision

Net sales, operating income, and ordinary income are now expected to exceed the previous forecast with firm performance in each sector. Net income attributable to owners of the parent is now expected to fall short of the previous forecast due to the recording of a loss on fire at plant facilities in electronics operations, and income tax expenses being incurred in relation to capital reallocation among overseas subsidiaries in the Health Care sector.

1 This forecast is based on the best information available at this time, but actual outcomes may differ due to a variety of factors which cannot be foreseen.
