3. Basis for the revision
Ricoh assumes the consolidated net sales to be lower than the previously
announced in April 2009, due mainly to a delay of the rebound in customer
demand in both domestic and overseas market than originally forecasted.
With regard to the operating income, income before income taxes and net
income attributable to Ricoh Company, Ltd., Ricoh also expects them to be
lower than those previously announced respectively, as a result of the
decrease in the gross profit stemming from the decrease in net sales, that
offsets the profit generated from Ricoh's group-wide cost reduction
efforts.
* Ricoh bases the forecast estimates above upon information currently
available to management, which involves risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
