Separate reporting segments for semiconductor-related masks and real estate leasing

「Beginning with the current interim consolidated accounting period, the name of the reportable segment previously called "Printing" has been changed from "Printing" to "Information and Communication," and the name of the reportable segment previously called "Merchandise Sales" has been changed from "Merchandise Sales" to "Solution Sales." These changes are name changes only and have no impact on segment information.」

「The Group previously classified its reportable segments into 2 business segments, "Printing" and "Merchandise Sales." In connection with the organizational restructuring carried out through an absorption-type company split on 1 April 2023, the "Semiconductor-Related Masks" business, which had been included in the "Printing" business segment, has been classified as a separate reportable business segment from the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year in order to clarify the earnings performance and growth potential of each business. In addition, from the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year, the "Real Estate Leasing Business" has been classified as a separate reportable business segment in order to clarify the actual status of business operations, as the Group's principal revenue-generating business.」
