2/10 Response to the Spread of Novel Coronavirus Infection

First, I would like to address the coronavirus issue. As Mr. Kawamura already reported, our EMS factories in China and Malaysia temporarily suspended operations, but fortunately, the impact on earnings for the fiscal year ended in March 2020 was extremely limited. This slide summarizes our response thus far to the coronavirus infections. ● First, the head office set up a Coronavirus Response Committee on February 27. In addition to ensuring the safety of the lives of all Group employees, as well as the safety and evacuation of employees and their families stationed overseas, the head office promptly provided material support as part of its BCP. In particular, we sent large amounts of masks and disinfectant—without these, factories cannot reopen—as well as food to our factories in lockdown overseas, including China. ● Subsequently, when the Japanese government issued a state of emergency declaration, we directed all Group companies in Japan to have employees telecommute, and endeavored to comply with the stay-at-home recommendation for about two months. As a result, the office attendance rate was 22% in May, and we met the government’s request that social interaction be reduced by at least 70%, and ideally 80%, with room to spare. ● Sales offices continued sales activities with safety as their top priority. In Japan, employees essentially telecommuted, and overseas they worked from home in line with instructions from local governments and administrative agencies. ● In terms of manufacturing bases, at this point, operations remain suspended during May in Mexico and India, but manufacturing activities continue, with safety measures also implemented, in China, ASEAN, and Europe.
