Reasons for modifications
The earnings forecast has been modified to reflect a lower-than-expected sales outlook based on the sales performance in the year-end sales season and afterward.
Also, exchange rate assumptions have been revised from 80 yen to 90 yen per U.S. dollar, and from 100 yen to 120 yen per euro, in consideration of the trend of the recent exchange rate situation.
Please refer to "Consolidated Financial Highlights" released today on page 7 for the revised sales units forecast for the year ending March 31, 2013.
※Note with respect to financial forecast
Forecasts announced by the "Company" referred to the above were prepared based on management's assumptions with information available at this time and therefore involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Please note such risks and uncertainties may cause the actual results to be materially different from the forecasts (earnings forecast and other forecasts).
In addition, the number of outstanding shares used for calculating "Net income per share" is the estimated average number of outstanding shares for the fiscal year.
