Document Solutions (1st Quarter Fiscal 2009 Earnings)

In the Document Solutions segment, we recorded robust exports to U.S.-based Xerox Corporation, particularly of color devices. However, factors including the negative impact of exchange rate trends regarding Asian and Oceanian currencies depressed the segment's revenue to ¥276.4 billion, 1.9% below the level in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Although market conditions were increasingly harsh, particularly in industrialized countries, our efforts to reduce cost of sales and SG&A expenses enabled us to increase the segment's operating income 22.0%, to ¥20.2 billion.
