I would like to explain our currency exposure situation with this slide.
We think our currency exposure can be explained in two different stages since, as you can see in the pie chart in the lower right hand, more than 95% of Minebea's production takes place outside of Japan.
In the first stage, we will consider our overseas subsidiaries on the basis of foreign currency. In terms of net currency exposure, which is the sum of sales and expenses, we were net long position for the US dollar and net short for the Thai baht and the Chinese renminbi. Therefore, if Asian currencies become weaker against the US dollar, there is a tail wind for our foreign currency denominated profits. In the second stage, if the Japanese yen becomes weaker against the US dollar, when we consolidate these foreign currency denominated profits to Japanese yen-based accounting, there is a tail wind.
As you can see in the upper right hand line graph, the Thai baht and the Chinese renminbi remain weak against the US dollar in recent years. On the other hand, the Japanese yen is becoming stronger against the US dollar. During this fiscal year, since the Thai baht and the Chinese renminbi stayed in ranges against the US dollar, the second stage currency impact, that is, translation impact on the Japanese yen is the main factor. Although there was a negative impact from the stronger Japanese yen, we think it is still a better currency environment for Minebea, as the weaker Asian currencies make our production cost structure stronger.
