8/42 Sales by Business Segment

Please turn to slide 7. We show the sales breakdown by segment on this slide. There are 2 key takeaways from this slide. The first is the sales growth we achieved in IAB and HCB. In IAB, we concentrated on the four focus domains. We were able to achieve well-balanced sales growth on a global basis. I will discuss the regional sales breakdown for IAB on the next slide. In HCB, we reported strong growth of more than 8%, primarily driven by solid performances in Europe and Greater China. SSB also posted positive sales growth. The second takeaway is the sales decline in the Other segment, where we continue our restructuring efforts at the Backlight business. Additionally, damage to our partner’s manufacturing facilities impacted sales for the Environmental Solutions business. This is the backdrop to the ￥6.5 billion Y/Y decline. Next slide please.
