2020 Mid-term Business Plan (FY2020 to FY2022) May May 29, 29, 2020 2020
Message During FY2016 to FY2020, the Company implemented various measures in line with the 2016 Mid-term Business Plan. However, due to delays in implementing thoroughgoing solutions in the rapidly changing business environment, we have decided to conclude that plan one year ahead of schedule. We have formulated the new 2020 Mid-term Business Plan as a three-year plan for the years through FY2022. Amid major changes in the business environment, such as US-China trade friction and rising trade protectionism, business results have worsened, chiefly at overseas facilities. Last year, we recorded significant impairment losses and were regrettably unable to pay dividends. We apologize to our shareholders. This Mid-term Business Plan is a three-year plan reflecting our vision for 10 years into the future. Its framework calls, first of all, for progress on energizing loss-making overseas businesses in the first fiscal year, enhancing our product strengths, and expanding integrated production businesses from the raw materials stage. These initiatives target sustained growth. While this plan gets underway at a time of profound challenges in the business environment, including the global novel coronavirus pandemic, the Group will work as one to steadily implement the measures called for in the plan, further contribute to society, and resume dividend payments at an early date. We appreciate your continuing support. Motoyuki Sato President 1
