Message from the Management

Creating the future with the "At your side." spirit

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our stakeholders, including customers, for your continued patronage and support for the Brother Group.
Since its foundation in 1908 as a sewing machine repair business, the Brother Group has pursued the diversification and globalization of business in its history of over 117 years. Throughout its history, the Brother Group has always been driven by a profound sense of mission of placing our customers first everywhere, every time, as embodied by the spirit of "At your side." and providing them with superior value by quickly creating and delivering high-quality products and services. We believe that being useful and bringing joy to our customers through the Brother Group's products, services, and solutions will bring us happiness.
Going forward, we will continue to utilize our unique technologies and global network to create value that is unique to Brother. We will also contribute to society and help to protect the earth by working to solve social issues through business.

Toward the realization of the Brother Group Vision

In the Brother Group Vision "At your side 2030", formulated for 2030, we declare Our Purpose as "By being 'At your side,' we enable people's productivity and creativity, contribute to society, and help protect the earth." As a roadmap toward fulfillment of Our Purpose, we have formulated the FY2025–2027 medium-term business strategy " CS B2027" and reviewed the five issues of materiality we had identified as priority social issues in 2022, resulting in six issues of materiality redefined in 2025.

The theme of CS B2027 is "Creating our future. Boldly." This theme embodies our strong determination to achieve transformation and our future-oriented mindset. More specifically, it declares our determination to open up a new future by acting boldly, rather than being satisfied with the status quo, with all employees sharing and demonstrating the same mindset of continuing to proactively take up new challenges toward new goals. To achieve the Brother Group Vision "At your side 2030," which envisions where we will be in 2030, we will further enhance our organizational culture of open-mindedness and speed, thereby promoting transformation proactively.

With this new medium-term business strategy, the Brother Group aims to make the three years of FY2025 to 2027 a period of decisive action toward accelerating business portfolio transformation and ensuring its realization for the enhancement of its corporate value over the long term.

The new medium-term business strategy CS B2027 has set four key targets.

The first key target is to achieve 100 billion yen of operating profit, which is our top priority indicator.
To achieve this target, we will clarify the role of each business and ensure that each business will execute strategies based on key indicators set for it.

The second is to expand growth investments. We will execute growth investments of approximately 200 billion yen over the three years.
We will allocate resources primarily to the industrial sector and proactively promote M&A and alliances.

The third is to strengthen our technological and human resources foundations. We will work to strengthen our technological and human resources foundations that support our strategies while steadily implementing the strategies of each business and producing satisfactory results. We will therefore enhance the profit-generating capabilities of the entire Group.

The fourth is to raise our stock price with a view to increasing our corporate value.
We will also significantly enhance shareholder returns while seeking a good balance with growth investments.
We will promote management conscious of capital costs and the stock price, thereby increasing shareholder value.

We will continue to enhance our corporate value over the long term through dialogue with our stakeholders. We hope that you will support the future of the Brother Group.
