Consolidated revenue amounted to ¥1,338.4 billion, down 4.9% from the same period of the previous year.
The main factors causing the decrease were the appreciation of the yen, particularly against the U.S. dollar, and a decline in revenue of the Imaging Solutions business. The portion of the ¥69.6 billion decrease in revenue attributable to exchange rate changes was approximately ¥50.2 billion.
Operating income amounted to ¥81.2 billion, down 25.2% from the same period of the previous year. We estimate that exchange rate trends had the effect of reducing operating income by approximately ¥27.4 billion, while the impact of surging prices of silver, aluminum, and other principal raw materials was approximately ¥11.5 billion. The impact of the new depreciation method introduced in the previous fiscal year was approximately ¥3.0 billion. Combined, these three factors had the effect of reducing operating income by approximately ¥25.4 billion.
