Reason for the revision

In this fiscal year, the recovery trend from the second quarter became more prominent in the third quarter in light of the strength that the Company is engaged in essential businesses, and coexistence with the new business environment of "with COVID-19". Although the demand will be expected to continue to be robust as essential businesses, there is growing uncertainty for the future due to the resumption of lockdown in European countries and the U.S. in the wake of the resurgence of infections worldwide, and concerns about possible impact of semiconductor shortages on production. Taking into consideration of these factors, the Company will keep on striving to contain and reduce the fixed costs, and revises earnings forecasts.

The forecasts above were prepared on the premise of future forecasts available at the time of the release of this document. Due to unforeseen circumstances, however, the actual results may differ from these forecast data.
