Forecast for Fiscal Year ending June 2016

Outline of First Half of Fiscal Year 2016 MarketIn the semiconductor industry, foundries and DRAM makers kept capital expenditures lower in anticipation of a slowdown in smartphone sales growth. In the FPD industry, there were new capital investments mainly by Chinese manufacturers.
Our sales result was better than our August 2015 forecast thanks to expedited sales of some semiconductor-related products previously expected to sell in later periods. We also recorded higher profits than the forecast as a result of increased sales, our effort to restrain production cost, and some R&D and other selling, general and administrative expenses deferred to the third quarter. We did not receive orders as much as our forecast due to postponed capital expenditures by leading semiconductor manufacturers.
