2. Reasons for revisions
Oji Holdings had revised the full-year consolidated financial forecast downward at November 5, 2020 mainly due to a spread of COVID-19. However, "Operating Profit" is expected to be higher than the previous announcement, for reasons of product sales better than expected in packaging business in Japan and Southeast Asia, of group-wide efforts for cost reduction, etc. Additionally, "Ordinary Profit" and "Profit attributable to owners of parent" are also expected to be increased mainly by foreign exchange gains after revaluation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. Consequently, Oji Holdings revises Consolidated Financial Forecasts upward.
*Forecasts released are based on expectations of future economic conditions as of the date of publication. The actual results may differ drastically from these forecasts due to various factors that may arise in the future.
