Outlook for the Current Fiscal Year

Regarding the outlook going forward, overseas, economic growth is expected to soften overall due to the effect of uncertainty surrounding the United States?China trade problem and the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. Further, in Japan, the outlook is likely to remain uncertain as a result of concerns over economic recession overseas.
Amid these business conditions, with a view to realizing its target corporate profile (a global leader), the Group intends to strengthen its operational capabilities while aiming to enhance safety and quality and to build foundations that will lead to sustained growth.
