To Our Shareholders

We are pleased to present you this Interim Report on 122nd business period (fiscal 2021, from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022).

I would also like to express my sincere respect and gratitude to healthcare professionals as well as those dedicated to endeavors that involve sustaining community life.

Fujitsu Management Direction

Fujitsu has embarked on initiatives aligned with its seven key focus areas, which have been derived from social issues and established in April 2021 upon having envisioned society in the year 2030, underpinned by "Our Purpose" indicating why Fujitsu exists in society - "to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation."

We furthermore unveiled Fujitsu Uvance, a new global business brand, in October 2021, with the aim of engaging in activities more specifically tailored to achieving Our Purpose. Going forward, we will strongly promote our businesses that place focus on addressing social issues to help achieve a sustainable world, which will involve engaging in the key focus areas under Fujitsu Uvance. Please refer to TOPIC on Page 5 for the details.

Results for First Half of FY 2021

Revenue for the first half of fiscal 2021 increased by 31.1 billion yen year on year due to favorable sales of electronic components because of the rise in semiconductor demand in the Device Solutions segment, as well as increases in revenue in each sub-segment in the Technology Solutions segment. This was despite revenue having been adversely affected by business restructuring in North America and Europe and the transfer of the mobile phone retail store business in Japan that were carried out last year, and the extraordinary demand last year relating to telecommuting.

Although operating profit was affected by the proactive expansion of growth investments in addition to delayed component supply, profit margins improved due to an expansion of profit because of an increase of revenue in the Technology Solutions and Device Solutions segments, the improvement of profitability in the Technology Solutions segment, and operational improvements associated with an increase in demand of electronic components in the Device Solutions segment. Moreover, profit increased overall due to factors such as the above factors in addition to the recording of profit related to the business transfer, and a decrease in the burden of expenses for business model transformation. For details of the results for the first half of fiscal 2021, please refer to the Summary of FY 2021 First- Half Consolidated Results and FY 2021 Full-Year Consolidated Forecast on Page 2.

Shareholder Returns

We will increase the interim dividend by 10 yen per share from the previous year's interim dividend to 110 yen per share, as planned. Moreover, we have repurchased our own shares valued at approximately 20.0 billion yen up through the first half of fiscal 2021, in accordance with the limit of

50.0 billion yen set in April 2021 for repurchases of own shares to be undertaken within this fiscal year. With regard to future shareholder returns, we will expand overall shareholder returns by actively repurchasing our own shares with an eye on our capital efficiency, in addition to stable dividends, in accordance with Fujitsu's Capital Allocation Policy.

We would like to ask for the continued support and encouragement from all shareholders.
