Statements contained in this report regarding the plans, projections and strategies of the Nikon Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates that
comprise the Nikon Group (hereinafter “Nikon”) that are not historical fact constitute forward-looking statements about future financial results. As such,
they are based on data that are obtainable at the time of announcement in compliance with Nikon’s management policies and certain premises that are
deemed reasonable by Nikon. Hence, actual results may differ, in some cases significantly, from these forward-looking statements due to changes in various

and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The financial figures in this annual report have been rounded to the nearest unit (millions, billions, etc.).
