Since assuming office as President, I have been feeling the great expectations towards our Group from our stakeholders. I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities by exercising leadership so that our Group can provide our stakeholders with the value, satisfaction, and excitement that exceeds their expectations and contribute to the development of the society. Current Business Environment and Medium-term Business Plan (FY2018 – FY2020) In recent years, the business environment surrounding our Group has been steady on the background of the followings: the demand for infrastructure development such as the recovery and reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake for building national resilience of Japan; the increase in inbound demand; the projects related to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics Games; and the redevelopment projects in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Taisei Group’s FY2019 operating results achieved an increase in revenues from the steady progress of our present construction works, and maintained a high-level operating income in terms of profit. However, to our regret, FY2020 operating results are forecasted to be lower than the Management Numerical Targets for the final fiscal year of the current Medium-term Business Plan due to signifi-cant decreases in revenues and profits under the estimated impact by the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. The issue of COVID-19 completely overturns the funda- mental nature of corporate activities and social values, and forces to change the conventional business models. From now President and Chief Executive Officer, Representative Director and on, I assume that companies in this world will be sorted into two groups: Those can adapt to such changes and revolutions in the market environment and take it as a chance for further growth; and those cannot. To be a selected and sustainable company over the future, we would like to overcome this difficult situation with a flexible way of thinking unbounded to conventional customs, and with the ability to take action without hesitating changes. 3 TAISEI ANNUAL REPORT 2020 About the Taisei Group Strategy for Sustainable Growth ESG Section Business Section Explanation and Analysis of Data Section Message from Business Results the President Numerical management targets and business
