The business environment in the first half of fiscal year 2016, from April through September 2015, experienced a stronger trend of economic slowdown in China and other East Asian markets, weakness in consumption in Japan and stronger stagnation in certain emerging markets. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy saw continued buoyancy and the European market showed gradual recovery. In the foreign currency exchange market, the yen was weaker against the U.S. dollar compared to the previous year.
Under these circumstances, consolidated net sales in the first half of fiscal 2016 increased by 5% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 2,063.2 billion yen, due to increased sales in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems, Electronic Devices and Home Appliances segments. Consolidated operating income also increased by 5% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year to 127.0 billion yen, due to increased profits in the Industrial Automation Systems and Electronic Devices segments.

Consolidated net sales for this quarter, from July through September 2015, was 1,074.8 billion yen, a 1% increase from the same period of the previous fiscal year, due primarily to increased sales in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems, Electronic Devices and Home Appliances segments. Consolidated operating income was 72.3 billion yen, an increase of 17% from the same period of the previous fiscal year, with increased profits in the Energy and Electric Systems, Industrial Automation Systems, Electronic Devices and Home Appliances segments.
Forecast for Fiscal 2016 (year ending March 31, 2016)
The consolidated earnings forecast for fiscal 2016, ending March 31, 2016, has been revised from the previous forecast announced on July 30, 2015. Net sales is expected to exceed the previous forecast owing mainly to increases in the Energy and Electric Systems and the Home Appliances segments largely resulting from the positive influence of the weaker yen. Operating income is, however, expected to fall below the previous forecast due primarily to lower profit in the Energy and Electric Systems segment and decreasing revenues in the Information and Communication Systems and Electronic Devices segments. Net income attributable to Mitsubishi Electric Corp. is expected to remain unchanged from the previous forecast due mainly to decreases in non-operating expense and tax expense.
