We have set aside between 20 to 30 minutes for Q&A. Due to the venue arrangements, we aim to wind up by around 5PM. Please be advised that streaming video of this briefing, including the Q&A session, will be made available in its entirety on our website. We thank you in advance for your understanding. In addition, along with today’s materials, we have included a feedback sheet. We welcome your feedback. Now, let’s begin.
- 00:02:09.0 Good afternoon everyone. I am CFO Suzuki. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your participation in the Q3 FY2016 Results Briefing. In particular, I would like to acknowledge and express our sincere appreciation for your ongoing support. Thank you. I would now like to start the presentation of Omron’s Q3 FY2016 results.
- 00:02:39.0 Please turn to slide 1. These are the main takeaways from today’s presentation. First, our Q3 results. We were able to record a very strong performance in Q3. Both revenues and profits came close to matching historical highs for Q3. As a result, operating profit for the first nine months of FY2016 was up YoY, versus YoY declines up to the end of 1H. If the forex impact is excluded, then both revenues and profits for the first nine months improved YoY. In particular, I highlight the solid improvement in GPM, which is a key management metric for Omron, as noted previously. On a YoY basis, our GPM rose by 1％ point. We believe that we can continue to improve our GPM. The improvements reflect the results of our ongoing internal efforts to enhance our ability to generate profits. With regard to the full year results, the main driver for Q3 was IAB. We expect IAB’s strong Q3 performance will carry over into Q4. We revise up our full year forecast for OP to reflect this, as well as the recent yen weakness. We now project full year OP of ￥64 billion, which exceeds our initial forecast of ￥63 billion. For our full year dividend, reflecting our commitment to a payout ratio of more than 30％, we maintain our guidance of ￥68.
