Reasons for Revision

Due to a recovery in plant and equipment investment, mainly in the domestic semi-conductor and IT related business sectors, the demand for the OMRON Group mainstay control system related products (Industrial Automation Company and Electronic Components Company) has seen a remarkable increase.
The above situation, OMRON´s cost structure reforms and an increase in production have contributed to a sizable increase in OMRON´s overall financial results.
While these results do not show a large change in sales, and even though OMRON has seen a slight loss in securities due to new accounting principles adopted in April this year, an increase in profit is expected. Accordingly, OMRON´s financial results forecast has been revised as noted in the tables above.

Please note

The above half year and full year results were calculated on the information received to date, and do not take into account further changes in market conditions, exchange rate fluctuations and other uncertain elements etc. Consequently, as a result of environmental changes both externally and internally the actual financial results may differ from those forecast above
