2. Reasons for the Amendments
Due to factors such as the increase in the number of automobiles subcontracted for production by Toyota Motor Corporation to the Company and the increase in the number of vehicle sales for overseas markets, the forecast of the unconsolidated net revenues for FY2011 increased from the previously announced forecast. However, due to factors such as a stronger yen in the currency exchange market and the increase of costs for new products and for increased production, the forecasts of the unconsolidated operating income, ordinary income and net income for FY2011 decreased from the previously announced forecasts.
The assumption of the exchange rate for the full fiscal year was amended from 90 yen per U.S. dollar to 85 yen per U.S. dollar and the assumption for the last half of the fiscal year was amended to 80 yen per U.S. dollar.
(Note) The prospective figures for the financial results stated above are based upon information that is currently in Hino's possession and upon certain premises that Hino deems reasonable. Hino's actual future performance or other similar results could differ materially from those discussed above, due to various factors.
