Notice Regarding the Formulation of the "Medium-Term Management Plan 2030"

The Company has formulated a new Medium-Term Management Plan 2030 covering the fiscal years ending March 2027 through March 2030. It targets net sales of ¥1.16 trillion, ordinary profit of ¥16.0 billion and ROE of at least 8% for the fiscal year ending March 2030. Although growth investments are expected to temporarily weigh on profits in the first half, the plan aims to improve earnings and return to a growth trajectory in the second half.
