Have Firm Grasp on Changes,
Aiming for Sustainable Growth
In the fiscal year ended March 2013, consolidated net sales—exceeding ¥1 trillion—were 10.0% higher than for
the previous fiscal year. Nevertheless, we faced both a slump in capital investment by customers of the Precision
Equipment Company, and deteriorating market conditions during the second half of the period in the Imaging
Company. These factors harshly affected results, driving down consolidated operating income 36.3% year on year.
In the fiscal year ending March 2014, we thus will focus on building a robust operating structure able to
respond swiftly to changes in the market environment, and aim to generate consolidated net sales of ¥1,110.0
billion and operating income of ¥85.0 billion. Further, we will cultivate new businesses in the field of health
and medical-related areas as we strive for sustainable growth.
