2. Reason for differences between forecast and actual consolidated business results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2012
Sales of marine products (principally in the United States) and power products were greater than previously-announced forecasts, but as surface mounters and sales of motorcycles in emerging nations such as India and the ASEAN countries and decreased, sales overall were in line with previously-announced forecasts. However, in terms of profitability, operating income, ordinary income, and net income for the year were all lower than previously-announced forecasts. This is attributable to production adjustments designed to bring stock of motorcycles in emerging countries to optimum levels, a decline in surface mounter sales and rising costs.
