2. Reasons for revision
Shipment of glass substrates for FPDs in the third quarter exceeded our expectation, and we
foresee that the shipment will continue steadily in the fourth quarter as well. Due to these factors,
we expect the consolidated net sales, operating income, ordinary income, and net income for
FY2009 to be higher than the ones defined in the previous outlook announced on August 3, 2009.
In addition, we foresee performance of the businesses other than FPD glass substrates will be
recovering or improving gradually, such as flat glass business in Europe in which we are pursuing
price restoring.
