2. Reason for revision of the consolidated financial forecasts

Revenue is forecasted to be ¥275.5 billion (approximately no change year on year) due to the impact of exchange rates and other factors. Operating profit is forecasted to be ¥31.0 billion (up 71.5% year on year), which is ¥11.3 billion higher than the previous forecast, due to better performance and efficiency in operations in addition to the recording of ¥9.3 billion of one-time income (bargain purchase) in association with the acquisition of EA Pharma Co., Ltd. during the first three-month period of fiscal 2016. As a result, profit attributable to owners of the parent is forecasted to be ¥22.5 billion (up 104.0% year on year), which is ¥14.3 billion higher than the previous forecast.

Furthermore, regarding the full-year consolidated financial forecasts, although the forecasted figures announced on May 13, 2016 have been left unchanged, should a revision to the financial forecasts become necessary in the future, the Company will make an announcement as soon as possible.
