[Reasons for the differences]

While sales of the order backlog at the end of the last fiscal year will be booked as scheduled, sales are

expected to be lower than the initial forecast. This is due to the following reasons: a decrease in projects for upgrading the equipment units due to the Company's primary customer in the US prioritizing the operation of the factory, and a holdback of orders by the primary customer because of uncertain policies of the new US government. In terms of profits, it is also expected to be lower than the initial forecast because of a decrease in sales, an increase in SG&A expenses, and an increase in operating expenses due to exchange losses caused by accrued overseas taxes. However, the rate of decrease in operating income and ordinary income is expected to be lower than that of sales, since the gross profit rate is expected to improve from the initial forecast by reducing costs of items such as materials and on-site operations. In terms of net income attributable to owners of the parent, the decrease rate is expected to be larger than each profit before income taxes mainly due to the reversal of deferred tax assets.

The reasons for the revision of non-consolidated business forecasts are the same as those for the consolidated business forecasts.

As for the dividend, there is no change from the initial forecast, which is 10.0 yen per share. This is because while the revision of business forecasts is made due to external reasons, the internal situation remains unchanged, the profitability of this fiscal year is expected to be at a decent level, and the Company has also been receiving orders for the next fiscal year and beyond as well.

[Note] The numerical values described in this notification were based on the information available as of today and are subject to change as a result of various factors that might arise in the future.
