Vision and Four-Year Business Plan
Driving Innovative Impact 2030
The Daifuku Group has established its long-term vision, Driving Innovative Impact, embodying our strong desire to achieve even greater economic and social value by strengthening our initiatives with new future-oriented ideas and trailblazing groundbreaking change for our stakeholders. Then, we set the four-year business plan (from April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2027) as a midpoint of our overall goals for 2030, and are steadily advancing initiatives to achieve its goals. In February 2026, based on our progress and achievements through fiscal year 2025, we updated the long-term vision for 2030 and the management targets for 2027, raising both to reflect our improved outlook.

Priority framework
To realize economic and social value, we have established priority framework with the following domains, taking into consideration the challenges from the Value Transformation 2023 plan, the business environment, and social sustainability.
In this business plan, we have defined the priority topics that must be addressed by the Group to achieve our long-term vision, and we have specified strategies, measures, and action plans based on these topics. Please refer to the following page for the list of priority topics, the KPIs (key performance indicators) associated with each topic, and the identification processes.
MaterialityIn our four-year business plan for 2027, we will accelerate growth by adding 80 billion yen of strategic investment to the investment amount of the previous business plan. In addition, we will flexibly make management decisions to achieve growth even when the amount of strategic investment exceeds 80 billion yen.
Shareholder return policy
We adopt a performance-based policy for dividends from surplus based on consolidated net income. Based on the policy, we will appropriate the remaining surplus to invest in future growth. The consolidated dividend payout ratio target in our four-year business plan for 2027 is 35% or more for each fiscal year.
