「In the Earth Environment Solutions Business, in addition to a decline in current-period revenue due to sluggish acquisition of new projects in the surveying and construction industries, we failed to secure new orders for visible and near-infrared spectroradiometers, and the timing of refurbishment of radiation-resistant cameras for the IAEA has shifted, making it difficult to recognize revenue during the current fiscal year. For these and other reasons, performance is likewise expected to fall below the forecast.」
