Message from the CEO

Greetings from Yasuhiro Ohmura as Representative Director and President, CEO.

Continuing to Take on New Challenges

My name is Yasuhiro Ohmura, and I will be taking on the role of Representative Director and President, CEO from April 1, 2026. As I take on this significant role at a company with over a century of history, I deeply feel the weight of this responsibility.

Since its founding in 1917, Nikon has sought the limitless potential of light, continuously providing new value.
In our previous Medium-Term Management Plan, which concluded this March, Nikon defined its Vision 2030 and identified Imaging Products and Precision Equipment as "Main Businesses", and Healthcare, Components, and Digital Manufacturing as "Strategic Businesses". We also defined growth drivers in each of the five pillars and took various new initiatives. While we achieved some success in expanding sales, which was a key objective, our profit targets were significantly missed. Consequently, our corporate value has not yet reached a state of stable growth.

To enhance Nikon's corporate value, our new Medium-Term Management Plan (April 2026 to March 2031) aims to balance recovering short-term business performance with investing for long-term growth and take on new challenges to realize our Vision 2030 of becoming "a key technology solutions company in a global society where humans and machines co-create seamlessly." To do so, we will focus on our financial discipline and balance sheet, generate capacity for growth investments, clearly define our priorities, and allocate resources strategically while remaining mindful of appropriate time horizons.

Furthermore, we will continuously challenge ourselves to: 1) meet and exceed customer needs and aspirations, 2) improve cost efficiency and the speed at which we deliver our products, and 3) advance the precision and resilience of our products.

Together with our 20,000 employees worldwide, we will continue to take on every challenge to realize our Vision 2030 of becoming "a key technology solutions company in a global society where humans and machines co-create seamlessly."
