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 ¥25,937 million.
No equipment with a significant impact on production capacity was sold or removed.
Capital expenditures in each business segment are discussed below.
