Note: Core operating profit is calculated by deducting from operating profit any gains and losses resulting from nonrecurring factors, including changes in fair value of contingent consideration, impairment losses, and business structure improvement expenses.
2. Reasons for the revisions
In light of the solid business performance, we have revised our previous forecasts for revenue and core operating profit to 560.0 billion yen (up by 6.0 billion yen) and 58.5 billion yen (up by 1.5 billion yen), respectively. We have also revised our previous forecasts for operating profit to 60.2 billion yen (up by 5.2 billion yen), as we expect a decline in expenses under the change in fair value of contingent consideration.
Likewise, we have revised our previous forecasts for net profit attributable to owners of the parent to 56.4 billion yen (up by 19.4 billion yen), as we expect to record a large sum in forex gains under finance income/costs due to a depreciation of the yen at the end of the term.
