Supplementary Explanation
MHI’s consolidated net sales for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2010 are expected to decrease year-on-year due to decreased sales mainly in the Mass & Medium-Lot Manufactured Machinery segment, where demand has been weak, coupled with sales declines in both the Power Systems and Shipbuilding & Ocean Development segments.
Year-on-year decreases in first-half operating income, ordinary income and net income are expected mainly as a result of the yen's continued appreciation during the period and the aforementioned net sales decrease.
