   * Profit/loss attributable to owners of parent

   Reason for revision of outlook

   In comparison with the previous outlook announced on October 31, 2016, despite higher bunker prices, the Company made an upward revision of operating loss and ordinary income/loss in anticipation of the positive effects of improved operational efficiency in the bulkship business, increased liftings mainly on the Asia-North America route in the containership business, and reduction of operating costs such as expenses for positioning empty containers through improved yield management, along with the positive impact of the weakening yen.

   On the other hand, the Company conservatively reviewed the consolidated business outlook and made a downward revision of net income* due to concerns about possibility for more impairment of owned containerships depending on future trend in ship prices, which showed a significant drop over the past year, and the future cash flow, which will be planned.
