- 00:02:53.2 This is the executive summary. There are three key highlights for today’s presentation.
First, our overall Q1 - Q3 results. Following on from the strong results of H1, both sales and earnings grew significantly. We set new record highs for sales, gross profits and operating income. In particular, the IAB business was very robust, driving the overall performance. We believe IAB growth is accelerating on the back of the innovative-Automation concept. We also continue to execute on investments for future growth.
Second, our full-year forecasts. We expect the current strength to be maintained into Q4. Although we are accelerating the pace of investments, we believe we can achieve our current consolidated forecasts, which were revised up substantially in October. IAB will continue to drive our overall performance. We therefore reiterate our full-year consolidated forecasts. By segment, we have revised up our forecast for IAB, on the back of the particularly positive results.
Third are our strategies for the HCB business. HCB is a key growth driver for OMRON, second only to IAB. President Ogino will discuss the HCB strategies in more detail later.
