Renesas announced the following financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2016: net sales were 304.6 billion yen, 3.6 billion yen up from the previous forecast (announced on August 10, 2016); semiconductor sales were 295.8 billion yen, 3.3 billion yen up from the previous forecast due to increased production volume from the Group’s initial plan; operating income, ordinary income and net income attributable to shareholders of parent company were all better than the company's estimates, mainly owing to the cost-containment efforts, in addition to the increase in sales from the previous forecast.
