2. Basis for the revision
Ricoh assumes that the consolidated net sales for the half year ending
September 30, 2010 will be lower than that previously announced in April
2010, due mainly to the fact that we have revised downward its forecast of
exchange rate of the Japanese Yen against the Euro in and after the second
quarter of the fiscal year. However we expect that operating income, income
before income taxes and net income attributable to Ricoh Company, Ltd. for
the first half of the fiscal year will surpass our previous forecast
because the gross profit will remain higher than forecasted due mainly to
increasing sales of value-added higher margin products.
In the terms of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, Ricoh has not
changed its forecast previously announced in April 2010.
* Ricoh bases the forecast estimates above upon information currently
available to management, which involves risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
