(Note) Revised from most recently released earnings forecast: Yes
We conducted a downward revision for net sales in our FY2018 full-year forecast. We project net sales will decline beyond the range indicated in our previous revision mainly due to decreased profit-focused sales at overseas Group companies in the Oils and Fats division and the impact of currency fluctuations on overseas companies in the Confectionery and Bakery Ingredients division.
We conducted a downward revision for income in our FY2018 full-year forecast. Although operating income transitioned favorably from 1Q to 3Q, this is mainly due to current performance trending below original forecasts, expenses incurred in relation to the acquisition of the Blommer Chocolate Company in the US, and due to recording impairment losses based on an assumption of the transfer of ownership for a Chinese subsidiary.
*The forecasts above have been made based on assumptions deemed rational together with information available at the time of this announcement, and the actual results may differ from these forecasts due to various factors.
