Yasuhiro Morita
Global CEO, Representative Executive Officer & Director

I'm Morita, Global CEO. Thank you very much for taking the time to join us today despite your busy schedules. First, I will provide an overview of our full year results for fiscal 2025 and our business plan for fiscal '26.

Amidst a rapidly changing business environment, including the impact of U.S. tariffs, we positioned fiscal '25 as the year of emergency and crisis management following the '24 MBP road map. We focus upon defensive activities such as business rebuilding and business cost reductions, concentrating our efforts on strengthening our fundamentals. We positioned fiscal 2026 as a crucial year for transitioning to growth with quality, building upon the foundations established thus far and intensifying our offensive activities. We will readily advance our progress, ensuring the reliable execution of key planned initiatives to evolve the entire group into a group-oriented organization. Our aim is to reclaim the position of world's #1 by our 100th anniversary in 2031.
