Operating income, ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of parent are expected to exceed the previous forecasts largely due to improved product mix, cost efficiencies aimed at improvement of profitability (except for the marketing cost) and the deferment of a certain part of expenses to the second-half period of the current fiscal year.
