Reason for financial forecast revision
For the first half of the current fiscal year, since gross profit of our core semiconductor production equipment business is expected to exceed assumptions, the consolidated forecast for the first half has been revised.
Additionally, the consolidated forecast for the full year has been also revised up mainly because sales for the second half of the current fiscal year are expected to increase due to favorable orders of the semiconductor production equipment business.
Note: The financial forecasts and estimates stated in this announcement are based on certain assumptions judged to be reasonable by the Company in light of information currently available concerning economic conditions in Japan and overseas, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and other factors that may have an impact on performance. The company does not promise that the forecasts or estimates will be accurate.
They are therefore susceptible to the impact of many uncertainties, including market conditions, competition, the launching of new products (and their success or failure), and global conditions in the semiconductor related industry. Consequently, actual sales and profits may differ substantially from the projections stated in this announcement.
