(2) Reasons for the revisions
For the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, the favorable business environment is expected to continue, despite the impacts from the shortage of semiconductors and other parts, soaring raw material prices, and the resurgence of COVID-19 infections in Indonesia and other countries.
Amid such a business environment, the Company has revised its forecasts for net sales and various incomes as above in light of the higher-than-expected recovery in sales, continued cost reductions, and the depreciation of the yen. Note that this revised forecast does not reflect the effects of global lockdowns due to the rising spread of new coronavirus variants.
