Business interruption caused by natural disasters and infectious diseases, and BCPs

「BCP/BCM: Conducted initial-response drills for large-scale disasters in January 2025. Began discussions on BCM coordination with the IT Solutions Headquarters and the Production Headquarters (production group companies).」

「Assuming major earthquakes such as an earthquake directly beneath the Tokyo metropolitan area, we are reviewing and updating the BCPs of our core business divisions and implementing measures to ensure business continuity.」

「To reduce these risks, we are working across the supply chain to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including through energy-saving activities, the use of renewable energy and greater efficiency in development and production processes, as well as formulating a BCP (business continuity plan) across the Group.」

「The risk associated with COVID-19 may fluctuate due to a resurgence or other factors, but we will continue to formulate measures from a medium- to long-term perspective by constantly monitoring the latest information and carefully organizing the risks and opportunities.」

「During the cumulative third quarter of the fiscal year (1 April 2021 to 31 December 2021), supply issues caused by semiconductor shortages and other factors became apparent in the Imaging business, and the digital camera market was unable to secure sufficient supply. In the Precision Equipment business, capital investment in FPD-related fields remained firm for both large panels and small- and medium-sized panels. Capital investment in semiconductor-related fields was also on an expansionary trend. In the Healthcare business, market conditions generally remained strong in the Life Science Solutions and Eye Care Solutions fields.」

「During the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year, economic conditions were affected by the prolonged impact of COVID-19. However, supported by the wider adoption of vaccinations and fiscal stimulus in various countries, the economy continued to recover, led by the United States and China, and was generally on a recovery trend from the downturn caused by the COVID-19 crisis.」

「In the Healthcare business, although the impact of COVID-19 remained in all regions in the Life Science Solutions and Eye Care Solutions fields, an overall recovery trend continued.」

「The risk associated with the spread of COVID-19 may continue to fluctuate significantly due to further spread or a resurgence, but we will continue to formulate measures from a medium- to long-term perspective by constantly monitoring the latest information and carefully organizing the risks and opportunities.」

「In the Healthcare business, market conditions remained sluggish in both the Bioscience and Ophthalmic Diagnostic fields, which were significantly affected by the spread of COVID-19.」

「In the Healthcare business, sales of products deferred from the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year progressed to some extent in both the Bioscience and Ophthalmic Diagnostic fields, although business activities, including sales activities, were constrained.」

「The spread of COVID-19 caused a decline in demand in the Imaging business, delays in component supplies and situations in which installation work for FPD exposure equipment in the Precision Equipment business could not be carried out as planned, affecting the Group's consolidated results for the fiscal year.」

「We are paying close attention to measures against natural disasters, including major earthquakes, fires, floods and droughts, including those caused by abnormal weather and climate change, as well as the spread of infectious diseases such as novel influenza, and have formulated a BCP (business continuity plan). However, if catastrophic damage occurs at the Group's development and manufacturing sites or suppliers, operations may be suspended and production or shipments may be delayed.」
