Note: Adjusted operating profit = operating profit + share-based payment expenses + expenses arising from business combinations (amortization of goodwill and amortization of intangible assets).
Note: As reasonably estimating share-based payment expenses, which may fluctuate greatly depending on the Company’s stock price level, and some other non-operating income and expenses are beset with difficulties, specific forecast figures are disclosed for net sales and adjusted operating profit only.

3. Reasons for Differences

The difference in operating profit was due to factors that newly incurred expenses related to stock options with share price condition granted to the Company’s directors and Group employees, whose expenses fluctuate according to the level of the Company’s stock price, and expenses relating to trust-type stock options. In addition to the difference at the operating profit stage, the difference in ordinary profit was mainly due to gain on sale of investment securities of ¥979 million recorded as non-operating income in the previous fiscal year. Also, in addition to the difference at the ordinary profit stage, the difference in profit attributable to owners of parent was due to the recording of extraordinary losses, as described in (1.) above.
