Information Solutions (Fiscal Year 2009 Earnings)

In the Information Solutions segment, consolidated revenue declined to ¥946.1 billion, down 14.6% from the previous fiscal year. This decrease reflected such factors as decreasing demand, the impact of yen appreciation as well as a rapid deterioration in LCD-related markets that depressed flat panel display (FPD) materials sales, which had been growing smoothly during the first two quarters of the fiscal year.

Operating income amounted to ¥20.4 billion, down 84.0% from the previous fiscal year. The decrease reflects the impact of such factors as the trend of yen appreciation and the decrease in sales volume resulting from the worldwide economic recession.
