2. Reasons for the Revision
For the first six months of the year ending March 31, 2010, we expect that, on a consolidated basis, net sales will outperform our previous forecast, primarily due to greater-than-expected depreciation of the yen against the euro. On the profitability front, we also expect operating income, ordinary income, and net income to exceed our previous forecast, mainly driven by our efforts to curtail selling, general, and administrative expenses as well as by an improved gross profit margin ratio attributable to an increase in reagent sales as a proportion of total sales.
We are planning to publish our consolidated earnings forecast for the year ending March 31, 2010 at the time of release of our financial results for the first six months of the year (scheduled for November 5, 2009).
Note: The forecasts above were made based on information currently available on the day of this release. Actual results may therefore differ materially from those described above due to various unforeseen factors and possible events in the future.
