As touched upon earlier, we believe the operating environment is extremely challenging, given the rising level of uncertainty. We believe this period of uncertainty could persist for some time. Following a further examination of the impact of a deteriorating operating environment, we will update you at our next results briefing in October. In the short-term, IAB and EMC in particular are being impacted by the strong headwinds. At the same time, social issues such as labor shortages and the acceleration of population aging are only becoming more acute. These are universal issues. Demand for solutions to these issues is only increasing. OMRON’s key domains continue to be growth areas. We view the dramatic market changes we are experiencing as opportunities to raise our game and develop our capability to rise to challenges. We are committed to focusing on initiatives that will position us for strong growth where we will significantly outpace our peers when the economy returns to growth. Finally, we have been chosen for the first time for inclusion in the ESG index established jointly by Euronext and Vigeo Eiris. We are honored by the recognition of our ESG and sustainability initiatives. We will continue to fulfil our corporate governance responsibilities, balancing integrity and sustainable growth. This completes my remarks. Thank you.
