Shareholder & Capital Policy and Outlook

The third quarter financial summary reports additions of new consolidated subsidiaries and acquisitions/dispositions of treasury stock, which have affected the capital structure. There is no change to the full-year earnings forecast and the dividend forecast remains as most recently announced. Amid uncertain market conditions, the company will continue to actively concentrate assets into growth areas centered on its creative services business, and balancing revenue growth with improvement in profit margins will be the focus going forward.
