Reasons for the revision
Net sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, are expected to surpass the previous forecast because of a weakening yen and rising overseas markets for the company’s main products. Likewise, full-year profits are anticipated to exceed the previous forecast based on the effect of improvements in trade conditions and in foreign exchange.
