Background to the difference

Renesas announced the following financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2015: net sales were 179.3 billion yen, 0.7 billion yen lower than the previous forecast (announced on May 12, 2015); semiconductor sales were 174.5 billion yen, 0.5 billion yen up from the previous forecast.

Operating income, ordinary income and net income attributable to shareholders of parent company were all better than the company's estimates, mainly owing to the cost-containment efforts and the positive effects of a weaker yen.

Details that explain Renesas' announcement of financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 are disclosed in the Renesas press release: “Renesas Electronics Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended June 30, 2015” issued on July 31, 2015.

The statements in this press release with respect to the plans, strategies and financial outlook of Renesas Electronics and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “we”) are forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties.
