「It is understood that introducing this system could reduce inventories and improve cash flow, while also improving customer satisfaction by shortening delivery times, thereby further enhancing our brand value and international competitiveness.」

「Delivery delays for multifocal and toric lenses, which had persisted for approximately 2 years, were resolved in February and May 2025, respectively, and the Group is gradually improving its ability to supply customers. In logistics, Menicon Co.,Ltd. and the Company began a joint-delivery trial for both companies' products in the Kyushu region in July 2025.」

「Delivery times for multifocal contact lenses returned to normal on 10 February 2025. In addition, inventories have been recovering steadily, with production at the Konosu Research Institute reaching a new monthly peak in March 2025. Accordingly, delivery times for toric contact lenses, which had been shipped 14 days after the order date for an extended period, will be shortened in stages for orders received from 10 May 2025, and shipments under normal delivery times will resume from 28 May 2025.」

「Demand for the Company's toric and multifocal contact lenses for domestic and overseas markets in the Pure series has continued to exceed its supply capacity, resulting in tight inventories. Delivery delays for these products have occurred since the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2024, and unfortunately the situation has not been fully resolved.」

「Although the Company continues to operate at full production, shipments have continued to exceed supply, and delivery delays have occurred due to tight inventories for some domestic and overseas products in the Company's core One Day Pure series.」

「The Group worked to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses by improving the efficiency of advertising and sales promotion spending and reviewing delivery costs.」

「In addition, in April, the Group reorganized the Production Engineering Division to improve the quality of production management operations and strengthen the production floor, while working to reduce manufacturing costs as it further advanced high-mix, low-volume production.」

「Against this backdrop, in the fiscal year ending March 2018, the final year of the 3-year medium-term management plan, the Group continued to make "sales strategy," "product strategy," "strengthening production and development capabilities," and "strengthening the management structure" its highest-priority initiatives.」
