Sales in these areas account for approximately 320 billion yen and about one-fourth of total consolidated sales. The ratio of operating income to net sales stands at a highly profitable 13% and generates roughly half of consolidated operating income. We will be able to increase profitability by further expanding and strengthening our businesses in these areas, which we are developing by taking full advantage of the strengths of Toray Group.
