The quiet periods for the 1st and 3rd quarter earnings are two weeks before the results announcement date. During the quiet period, we do not respond to inquiries or make any comments on business results.
V. Forward-Looking Statements
Statements of information disclosed by Shiseido that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that reflect management's views and assumptions at the time of the announcement and management targets based on its plans. These forward-looking statements may involve risks and other uncertain factors, and the actual business results and performance may differ materially from the projections contained in these forward-looking statements.
