Background to the revision of forecasts
Renesas announced the following revisions to its consolidated forecasts for the nine months ended December 31, 2014:
Net sales were in line with the Group's expectation and are expected to reach a total of 608.0 billion yen, 12.1 billion yen up (2.0% increase) from the previous forecast (announced on October 29, 2014).
Owing to cost reductions from structural reforms; a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses; and improved product mix, etc., in addition to the impact of the yen depreciation, operating income, ordinary income and net income will all be above the Group's expectation.
The consolidated financial forecasts for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 are based on the rate of 105 yen per USD and 140 yen per Euro.
