- 00:03:24.3 There are three key takeaways.
First, our overall H1 results. Both sales and earnings grew significantly and we set a new record high in profits. On the back of this, we have also revised up our full-year forecasts. The IAB business, which is our top priority business, is doing very well and we expect it will drive our overall earnings going forward. We also raise our full-year dividend guidance from ￥68 to ￥76.
Second, our IAB strategies. IAB has been focused on growth domains since FY2014. By providing unique and innovative solutions, Omron has been able to build a robust structure capable of generating growth. Furthermore, innovative-Automation, a concept that will revolutionize manufacturing, will make it possible for Omron to continue to achieve dramatic growth going forward. As a part of innovative-Automation, we have started to provide a new service platform which applies AI and IoT to the manufacturing floor. We call this i-BELT. We will talk about this in more detail later.
Finally, our sustainability initiatives. As you know, we have recently seen an increased focus on ESG investments. Omron is deepening its response to sustainability issues. Based on our corporate values, we have formulated and recently disclosed a Sustainability Policy, and have set targets that are linked to the Medium-term Management Plan. I would like to explain our sustainability initiatives today. I take this opportunity to highlight that Omron has been selected for DJSI World as well as all of the other major ESG indices.
