Message from the President

"Driving Transformation toward a New Stage of Growth.”
We aim to maximize sustainable corporate value by turning manufacturing challenges into competitive strengths through production innovation and advanced technology.

Since its founding in 1946, the Amada Group has continued to grow together with customers through a spirit of "Innovation and Challenge". Today, as the manufacturing environment undergoes rapid changes, including a shrinking labor force and the need for digital transformation, we have formulated the New Medium-Term Management Plan 2030 to enhance the sustainability of our customers' manufacturing operations.
Under the slogan "Driving Transformation toward a New Stage of Growth," we aim to achieve revenue of 520 billion yen, operating income 73 billion yen, and ROE of 10% or higher in fiscal 2030.

To address the profitability issues identified under the previous medium-term Management plan, we will boldly pursue transformation in both our business model and operating structure. We will transition from a product-centric to an integrated-solutions business model that optimizes customers’ operations through accumulated data and AI. At the same time, by introducing a new "Business Unit (BU) system", we will clarify accountability for business performance and accelerate execution, thereby enhancing our earnings structure.

To support this transformation, we will make investments totaling 150 billion yen in growth area, including M&A and R&D, while also focusing on sustainability initiatives to enhance corporate value over the long term.

In parallel with growth investments, we will further strengthen shareholder returns. Under the New Medium-Term Management Plan 2030, we plan to return more than 250 billion yen over the next five years. While maintaining a consolidated dividend payout ratio target of 50%, we will raise the dividend on equity (DOE) ratio to a range of 3% to 5%. Through proactive share buybacks with a strong awareness of capital efficiency, together with improved profitability, we will work to achieve ROE of 10% or higher. United as one group, we are committed to driving transformation and making a leap forward into a "New Stage of Growth" that meets the expectations of all our stakeholders.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support.
