Summary of 1st Quarter Results Presentation

Consolidated net sales of the Ricoh Group for the first quarter fiscal year 2010 decreased by 5.8% as compared to the previous corresponding period. Ricoh continued to be affected by the tough business environment. Domestic sales decreased by 11.6%. As for overseas, sales decreased by 1.1%, due mainly to continuing difficulties in the overseas economy and the appreciation of the Yen, although our effort to enhance our sales structures through the acquisition of sales channels, contributed to an increase in sales. Operating income decreased by 84.7% from the previous corresponding period, due to the negative effect of decreased sales and the appreciation of the Yen. As a result, net income attributable to Ricoh Company, Ltd. decreased by 96.5%.
Based on the results of the first quarter, we have revised our forecast down to 2.065 trillion yen in sales, 40 billion yen in operating income and 10 billion yen in net income attributable to Ricoh Company, Ltd. for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. We also changed our forex forecast for the second quarter and beyond as 90.00 yen to the dollar and 130.00 yen to the Euro.

Q3. Even if hardware sales go through a phase of recovery, could the non-hardware sales lag behind this hardware trend?

A3. The trend of non-hardware sales differs fundamentally from that of hardware sales, because non-hardware sales are generated from machines in the field.
