3. Overview of capital expenditures
Capital expenditures for the fiscal year under review were concentrated in key strategic areas including
new products, developing new businesses, and preparing for future growth. In addition, Epson made moves
to restrain new capital spending and efficiently utilize existing facilities in an effort to improve cash flow.
As a result of these efforts, total capital expenditures (including property, plant and equipment, software
and lease rights) came to ¥55,624 million.
No equipment with a significant impact on production capacity was sold or removed.
