Note: The Company has changed its accounting policies with effect from the first quarter of FYE 2019. Accordingly, the new policies have been retroactively applied to FYE 2018 results before carrying out year-on-year comparison and analysis of net sales figures.

2. Reasons for the Changes

The Company has revised the consolidated performance projection for the first half of fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 as above due mainly to quality-related expenses which offset foreign exchange gains.
The revised projection is based on assumed foreign exchange rates of ¥109/US$(previously ¥105/US$) and ¥131/EUR(previously ¥130/EUR).
Full-year consolidated performance projection for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 is currently under examination and will be published concurrent with the release of consolidated financial results for the first half scheduled for November 5, 2018.

3. Dividends

There is no revision of dividend forecast.

Note: Above mentioned projections are based on certain assumptions and our management’s judgment in light of currently available information, therefore actual results may differ from these projections.
