| Financial Results for the First Nine Months of FY2010 Announced: Despite the Effects of Yen Appreciation, Net Sales and Income Reached Record Highs, as Operations Expanded in China and Other Overseas Regions |
During the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, sales and income expanded in all overseas regions on a local currency basis. Year on year, net sales was up 3.1%, operating income rose 10.3%, and net income surged 46.2%. Behind these improvements was heightened profitability, owing to such factors as expanded sales of reagents, in line with ongoing growth in instrument sales.
In particular, we continued to post double-digit increases in key markets in China, with a 39.1% increase in sales and a substantial 181.4% rise in operating income on a local currency basis. Also contributing to overall results was solid performance in Benelux, where we shifted to a direct sales and support system in April 2009.
In Japan, despite the severe market environment sales of simplified test kits continued to increase substantially because of the spread of pandemic flu. Nevertheless, a decrease in intra-area transfers and the impact of yen appreciation caused sales and income to decrease in this segment.
At present, our consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, remains unchanged.
