17LINTEC INTEGRATED REPORT 2019Future InitiativesLooking at our results forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, which will be the final year of LIP-2019, it will be extremely difficult to achieve the plan’s initial goals of net sales of ¥270.0 billion and operating income of ¥25.0 billion. The LINTEC Group has positioned the final year as a year to address our challenges, and we will build a foundation for growth in the future, while maintaining a focus on the next medium-term business plan, which will start in April 2020. In regard to adhesive products for labels, our mainstay products, in July 2019 we launched a global brand to expand our share in Japan and overseas, and we started to strengthen our sales promotion activities. Furthermore, from 2019 to 2020, a number of international sports events will be held in Japan, and we are accelerating activities accordingly to capture demand for such products as films for signs and advertisements. In addition, we believe that the semiconductor market, which is currently in a correction phase, will undergo a recovery from the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. We will invest aggressively to address increases in demand, such as from the introduction of the 5G next-generation high-speed communications standard; the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), under which a wide range of devices will be connected via the Internet; and the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI).Issues and RisksFor the LINTEC Group to record growth in the years ahead, we face issues and risks that we must address. Maturation of the Domestic Market and Increasing Difficulty in Securing Human ResourcesIn Japan, the market is contracting due to a trend toward a declining birthrate and an aging population, as well as a decreasing population. It is becoming difficult to achieve high levels of growth as in the past. The environment is challenging, and going forward we will endeavor to discover new demand, increase our market share in existing busi-nesses, and create new markets. At the same time, in response to the labor shortage, which is worsening due to the decline in the working age population, we will consider how to promote laborsaving through the use of IoT, AI, and robots. In addition, by continuing to implement work-style reforms, we will aim to increase labor productivity and be a company that enables more diverse employees to work with enthusiasm.FY2020 Forecasts (year on year)Net Sales¥260.0 billion(+3.6%)Operating Income¥19.0 billion(+5.7%)Profit Attributable to Owners of Parent¥13.5 billion(+4.3%)ESGStrategyOverviewFinancial Information
