3. Overview of capital expenditures
Capital expenditures for the fiscal year under review were concentrated in key strategic areas, primarily on new
products and production capacity expansion to help foster the development of new businesses and prepare 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) amounted to ¥31,813 million.
No equipment with a significant impact on production capacity was sold or removed.
