Reason for the revision
We expect operating income, ordinary income, and net income attributable to owners of parent for the fiscal year ending June 2023 to significantly exceed our previous forecast due to a favorable product mix resulting from changes in the timing of the acceptance and sales of semiconductor-related products, some delayed and others occurring earlier than expected, as well as the depreciation of the yen.

Reason for the revision
Our basic policy concerning profit distribution is to flexibly pay dividends based on performance, with a consolidated annual dividend payout ratio of 35% being the guideline. In accordance with this policy and based on the forecast of financial results for the fiscal year ending June 2023, we have revised our forecast of year-end dividend to 126 yen per share, 49 yen higher than our previous forecast.
The forecasts of financial results and year-end dividend provided above are based on information available to the company as of the date of announcement and on assumptions it has judged to be reasonable. We make no guarantees about achieving the forecast provided herein. Actual results may differ materially from the forecast due to various factors.
