Items stated in the management plan
FormulatedEach line is the climb from the baseline the document states to the target it sets. The slope is scaled against the largest climb in this document. For metrics expressed as percentages, differences are shown in percentage points (pt).The increase shown by the dotted line is calculated from the two reported figures because the company did not provide the amount of growth.
Technological innovation is advancing at an accelerating pace, while the standards demanded by society and industry are becoming more sophisticated every day. Because structural changes have emerged that cannot be addressed simply by extending existing approaches, the Company will accelerate its review of the business portfolio and transformation of the earnings structure, based on its strength in integrating technologies. Under the previous medium-term management plan, profits fell significantly below plan because progress in earnings-structure reforms responding to changes in the business environment lagged behind schedule. The Company therefore reexamined the business environment and earnings capacity and reset its numerical targets.
