Information Solutions: 3rd Quarter Fiscal 2009 Earnings (9 months, Apr. - Dec.)

Consolidated revenue in this segment amounted to ¥737.9 billion, down 9.7% from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This reflected such factors as a sharp deterioration of conditions in the LCD market. These market conditions caused large decrease in FPD materials sales, which had been expanding smoothly during the first half of the fiscal year.

The segment's operating income declined 67.1%, to ¥34.4 billion. In addition to a decrease in the sales volume of mainstay products accompanying the deterioration of market conditions beginning from the third quarter, the decline in operating income reflected the impact of the appreciation of the yen.
