1. Overview of the business forecast
   For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, we expect the economic outlook remains unclear due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the continuing trade tensions between the United States and

China.

With regard to the business conditions surrounding SCREEN Holdings, in our mainstay business, the Semiconductor Production Equipment business, we expect capital investment by semiconductor manufacturers remain steady amid rising demand for semiconductors for 5G, AI and IoT. On the other hand, in the Graphic Arts Equipment business and the Display Production Equipment and Coater business, customers' capital expenditures are expected to be slightly sluggish due to the economic impact.

Under these circumstances, the consolidated business forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 is expected to be as above, based on the current status of orders, customers' investment trends and the status of delivery and installation of equipment.
