2. Reasons for variance
Sales for FY2019 were slightly better than the forecast on October 30, 2019. In terms of profits, both operating income and income before taxes exceeded the forecast due to costs reduction. Net income attributable to owners of parent was also higher than expected due to decrease of tax expenses stemming from recalculation of tax effects.
