We have already released the materials so I will just highlight the main points and supplement some further explanation. Please take a look at Slide 4 and 5.

This is the overview of the performance results. And if you can kindly look at that one together, I will appreciate it.

Order intake and revenue were decreased year-on-year, but are in line with our budget. Nuclear power and Defense & Space were robust throughout the year.

Logistics, Thermal and Drive Systems continue to recover after bottoming out in Q1. Regarding the impact of COVID-19, Logistics, Thermal and Drive Systems continued to recover since Q2.

And in Q4, it was flat year-on-year. Meanwhile, negative impact is still left in some BTO business such as plants as well as commercial aircraft.

Details will be given in Slide 13. About our profit for business activities and profit attributable to owners of parent achieved our forecast.

Business profit was up on year-on-year, while profit attributable to owners of parent was down year-on-year due to the repercussion posting DTA for the past losses incurred in Space Jet business before FY '18 and FY '19. Slide 6 and 7 show our financial position.

Our management is focused on cash flow, and we have been working to optimize our assets. In FY '20, we restructured offshore wind power JV with Vestas of Denmark and made MHPS 100% subsidiary and optimized our portfolio management.

As a result, total asset decreased by ¥174.9 billion. Details will come later.

But please note that due to the improvement of free cash flow, interest bearing debt was below our target. And given the bullish market, valuation improved and equity ratio landed at 28.4%, a major improvement year-on-year.

Slide 8, cash flow. In FY '20, there was an outflow of advance payment from the past, which was further aggravated by a decrease in revenue due to the pandemic.

Thus, free cash flow was negative ¥277.1 billion. However, by improving the payment, T&C of each project, an improvement of ¥120 billion against the forecast was achieved.

Slide 9, order intake and backlog by segment. For your reference, please note that Slide 58 shows the details.

Each segment's order intake decreased year-on-year. Some businesses such as Aircraft and Logistics, Thermal and Drive Systems were directly hit by the market contraction caused by COVID-19, while our plant project negotiations have been postponed.
