TRANSFORM 2016 describes where we want to be in 2018, five years from now. The plan lays out initiatives over the next three years and targets for 2016, the final year of the plan, as stepping stones toward achieving our goals for 2018. Specifically, our management targets for fiscal 2016 (on an IFRS basis) are sales of ¥1.1 trillion or more, operating income of ¥90 billion, and an operating income ratio of 8% or more. We are also aiming to increase capital efficiency by slimming down the balance sheet and reinforcing shareholder returns, and we seek to increase ROE to 10% or more.
