Management Shift to Solidarity-Based (Group-Wide Optimization) Management and Three Strategies

「The new growth strategy sets out a policy of pursuing growth with a focus on management efficiency and establishes more effective business and financial strategies. Specifically, the policy is to designate the Industrial Process business, a growth area, as a priority business and concentrate growth and development investment and resources there, pursue profit margins rather than scale, and achieve both growth investment and capital efficiency.」

「Specifically, to establish a structure for providing optical solutions, the Company will reorganize its product-based business domains, the Light Sources, Optical Equipment and Visual Imaging businesses, into the market-based Industrial Process, Visual Imaging, Life Science and Photonics Solution businesses and advance its strategies.」

「Under this medium-term management plan, the Company aims to achieve net sales of ¥250 billion and an operating margin of at least 12% in fiscal 2030, while looking ahead to the next 30 years and positioning the plan as another effort to lay the foundation for transforming its earnings structure and achieving sustainable growth. While shifting the Group's management structure from an autonomous model to an integrated, federated model, the Group will pursue offensive, defensive and bundling strategies, achieve the goals of this medium-term management plan and clarify the path toward fiscal 2030.」

「As part of this shift, the management policy was substantially changed from an autonomous model focused on individual optimization to an integrated model focused on overall optimization. In addition to "offensive strategies" and "defensive strategies" in each business area, the Company established a "bundling strategy" to achieve overall optimization.」
