(1) Net Sales
Net sales are expected to be lower than the estimates announced on May 10, 2017, mainly due to delay of charging the services of the GooPit business targeting maintenance shops into fee-based one and delay of increasing new customers for Goo Checkup.
(2) Operating Income / Ordinary Income
As described earlier, because net sales mainly concerning GooPit business are expected to be lower than the previously announced estimate, gross profit from said business is also expected to fall below the estimate. Furthermore, gross profit for a part of subsidiary companies is also expected to fall below the estimate. In addition, operating and ordinary incomes are expected to be lower than the estimates announced on May 10, 2017, because SG&A expenses are expected to turn out as estimated.
(3) Net income attributable to owners of parent
Profit attributable to owners of parent is expected to be lower than the estimate announced on May 10, 2017. This is because, as described earlier, operating and ordinary incomes are expected to be below the estimate as well as an impairment loss of fixed assets related to experimentally operating agricultural business amounting to 336 million yen was included in extraordinary losses in the segment of other businesses.
