Notice of Revisions to the Earnings Forecast Due to Recognition of a Loss on Construction Contracts and Recognition of an Extraordinary Loss in Non-consolidated Financial Results

Estimated construction costs for a U.S. water treatment equipment project for the electronics industry increased significantly, resulting in lower profit forecasts for both the interim period and the full year. Meanwhile, the revenue forecast was raised based on sales progress in the chemicals business and other factors, while a ¥36.2 billion loss on the valuation of shares in affiliated companies will be recorded in the non-consolidated financial results.

Reason for the revision

For a large water treatment equipment project for the U.S. electronics industry, design delays, quality issues, additional procurement of components and remanufacture of modules arose in responding to standards, design certifications and customer requirements, resulting in a significant increase in total estimated construction costs. The revenue forecast was raised based on sales progress in the chemicals business and the order status of the equipment business.

Details and amount of extraordinary loss

A provision for construction losses will be recorded, but the amount is not disclosed. A ¥36.2 billion loss on the valuation of shares in affiliated companies will be recorded in the non-consolidated financial results. The latter will be eliminated in consolidation and will have no impact on consolidated results.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Design delays and quality issues arose in responding to U.S.-specific standards, design certifications and customer requirements, necessitating design changes, additional procurement of components and remanufacture of modules. As a result, the total estimated construction costs were significantly increased. This lowered the construction progress rate, reducing revenue and profit, and a provision for construction losses will be recorded. The revenue forecast was raised mainly based on sales progress in the chemicals business and the order status of the equipment business.
