This waterfall chart shows the changes in key elements contributing to the Y/Y change in GP margin. The 41.5% on the left is the GP margin for H1 FY 2017; the 41.8% on the right is the H1 FY2018 GP margin. The torrential rains which struck Western Japan in July damaged the facilities of a partner’s plant. As a result, there were one-off factors, such as a drop in Environmental Solutions sales and some provisioning of reserves against inventory. This was offset by internal improvements such as a 1%-point improvement in the added value ratio, contributing to the GP margin of 41.8%. The improved added value ratio was due to increased sales of high value added products in IAB and HCB, as well as progress in restructuring the backlight business. In addition, the company as a whole moved to raise selling prices and made further progress in reducing and eliminating unprofitable products. Next slide please.
