3. Overview of capital expenditures
Capital expenditures for the fiscal year under review were concentrated in key strategic areas, primarily on
new products and rationalizing, upgrading and maintaining equipment and facilities 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 ¥43,155 million.
No equipment with a significant impact on production capacity was sold or removed.
Capital expenditures in each business segment are discussed below.
Information-related equipment segment
Investment for commercializing new products such as printers and 3LCD projectors etc., and for
rationalizing, upgrading and maintaining equipment and facilities amounted to ¥33,447 million in the fiscal
year under review.
