Both net sales and operating profit increased in the two strategic domains of EVS and SS. However, due to a decline in operating profit in the DS, the consolidated result was an increase in net sales and a decrease in operating profit.

Financial Forecast for FY2023
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, both net sales and operating profit increased year on year in the EVS Business, while both net sales and operating profit declined year on year in the DS Business.
From the second quarter onward, we expect the EVS Business to continue to perform steadily. However, a recovery in the business environment for the DS Business will be delayed.
Accordingly, we have not changed our consolidated financial forecast (Net Sales: 268.0 billion yen,
Operating Profit: 12.0 billion yen), but we have revised our forecasted results by segment as described below.
