The Fujifilm Group’s Value Creation Process
About the Fujifilm Group
3
6. The Fujifilm Group was established in 1934 to produce photographic film in Japan. Since its founding, Fujifilm has consis-
tently anticipated the future during times of change, has amassed a wide range of technologies, and provided innovative
products and services.
Since 2000, putting the Company’s future at risk, we undertook drastic business restructuring due to the demand for
photographic film, our mainstay product, has declined sharply due to digitization.
The key, at that time, was the advanced and various technological capabilities of our photographic business. Fujifilm
established businesses with a competitive advantage based on a variety of technologies such as optics, chemicals, and
electronics, which are needed to develop and produce photo-related products.
The Fujifilm Group, which had overcome a turbulent “second foundation” and gotten back on a growth track, has
even more developed products, services, and solutions unique to the Fujifilm Group with the aim of strategic leap forward.
The history of the Fujifilm Group is a history of innovation.

About the Fujifilm Group

12. FUJIFILM Holdings has been creating new value to resolve
social issues through Sustainable Value Plan 2016, a medi-
um-term CSR plan for FY2015/3 through FY2017/3. Through
the new formulation of long-term goals for FY2031/3 in
SVP2030, the Fujifilm Group is aiming to contribute further
to the realization of a sustainable society, with increased ef-
forts to resolve social issues through its business activities by
providing innovative technologies, products and services.
In the global society, a number of long-term goals have
been published recently with the aim of resolving social is-
sues. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs*), which
were adopted by the United Nations in September 2015,
identified 17 goals for the global society to make efforts to
resolve these social issues by 2030. In addition, the global
decision was made over the Paris Agreement, which entered
into force in November 2016. The agreement aims to
strengthen the global response to the threat of climate
change to keep a global temperature rise well below 2 de-
grees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
“SVP2030” is a new CSR plan targeting FY2031/3 which
aims to contribute to the achievement of goals related to
the resolution of social issues identified by international ini-
tiatives such as the SDGs and the Paris Agreement.
“SVP2030” defines the “environment,” “health,” “daily life”
and “working style” as four key areas, which will be ad-
dressed from the perspectives of both “resolving social is-
sues through business activities” and “considering
environmental and social impacts through business process-
es.” Furthermore, as a global company, “SVP2030” specifies
the stronger CSR foundations, in terms of environmental,
ethical and human rights issues affecting the whole supply
chain and also refer to the stronger governance required to
achieve the further penetration of an open, fair and clear
corporate culture.
We have formulated “Sustainable Value Plan 2030 (“SVP2030”),” a new CSR plan specifying targets for the fiscal year end-
ing March 2031 (FY2031/3).
The Fujifilm Group believes that solving social issues provides opportunities for business growth. By actively creating
new value as part of our efforts to address each challenge, we are committed to continuously contributing to the develop-
ment of a sustainable society as a key management priority. Such commitment is further reinforced through formulation of
SVP2030. In this new CSR plan, we show our strong will to contribute to resolving social issues of the global scale through
business activities.
* SDGs are new sustainable development goals adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015 in order to follow on from the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) which were established in 2001. SDGs states “no one will be left behind” as its slogan, and has 17 sustainable development goals and 169 targets for global society to tackle
as social issues by 2030.
In the area of the “environment,” we will contribute to
solving environmental issues as well as reducing our own
environmental burden. In particular, the plan identifies nu-
merical targets for CO2 emissions and water usage to be
achieved by FY2031/3. The targets for CO2 emissions are to
“achieve a 30% reduction in the volume of CO2 emitted
across the entire product lifecycle compared to
FY2014/3,” and “contribute to a 50-million-ton reduction
in the volume of CO2 emitted in a society by encouraging
wider use of the company’s products and services.” This
reduction offsets the equivalent volume of CO2 emitted by
the company between FY2018/3 and FY2031/3. The Fujifilm
Group is committed to reduce water usage of the entire
group by 30% in comparison to FY2014/3, keeping overall
usage below 35 million tons in FY2031/3. In addition, the
Fujifilm Group is aiming to contribute to the processing of
35 million tons of water per year in FY2031/3 through the
provision of highly functional materials and services used for
water processing. It aims to achieve the environmental
contribution that is equal to or greater than the environ-
mental impact of the Company’s business activities.
In the area of “health,” the Fujifilm Group is aiming to “cre-
ate a healthy society through the process of prevention,
diagnosis and treatment in healthcare.” The group’s aims
in the area of “daily life” are to “support the tangible and
intangible aspects of social infrastructure in people’s lives
through various products, services and technologies.” In
the area of “working style,” the Fujifilm Group is aiming to
“extend in-house work-style reforms to change society so
that everyone can be satisfied with his/her job.”
By focusing on these areas, the corporate group aims to re-
solve these various social issues through its business activi-
ties. The Fujifilm Group will work to contribute to the
resolution of social issues and raise the company’s corporate
value by promoting activities along with “SVP2030” and cre-
ating new value through the development of products, ser-
vices and technologies.

New Medium-Term Management Plan VISION2019
We have drawn up a new medium-term management plan VISION2019, covering the three-year period from the fiscal year
ending March 2018 (FY2018/3) to the fiscal year ending March 2020 (FY2020/3). This is a concrete action plan for the next
three years to achieve “Sustainable Value Plan 2030.” Through a series of structural reforms, Fujifilm has been able to estab-
lish a solid management base that generates profits. By efficiently utilizing these profits, the Company has built a diversified
and extensive business portfolio. The VISION2019 aims to further enhance this portfolio by reinforcing each of the business
segments and thus achieve sustainable growth.

New CSR Plan / New Medium-Term Management Plan
Overview of the medium-term management plan, VISION2019
The VISION2019 maps out its “Imaging,” “Information” and “Document solution” businesses to the following three stages: (1)
improving the profitability to generate stable cash-flow, (2) accelerating the growth of main business areas to expand revenues
and profits, and (3) developing businesses with high profitability that will constitute the cornerstones of its future business op-
erations, thereby further strengthening the business portfolio to achieve a strategic leap forward. Fujifilm will also pursue fur-
ther growth by enhancing its overseas sales foundation, established through existing business operations, while accelerating
overseas deployment of healthcare products and new highly functional products.
With these initiatives, Fujifilm plans to achieve ¥2,600 billion in revenues, a record ¥230 billion in operating income and a
record ¥150 billion in net income attributable to shareholders in FY2020/3, which is the final year of this three-year plan. Share-
holder returns will be boosted to ¥300 billion in dividends and share buybacks over the three-year period from FY2018/3 to
FY2020/3, raising Return on Equity (ROE) to 7.3% by FY2020/3 as a target reflecting organic business growth. A total of ¥500
billion will be set aside as an investment fund for strategic MA over the three-year period for further growth in revenues and
profits, achieving ROE of 8.0% in FY2021/3.

19. I believe that the purpose of any company is to help make people’s lives better and enrich
society through their technologies and the products and services they provide; that is, to con-
tribute to resolving social issues through business.
The Fujifilm Group, as an example, has made a valuable contribution to society for years
by providing photographic film, making people happy by helping to preserve the pleasure
they experience and brilliant memories they build up in their life. The advance of digital
technology caused demand for photographic film to decline drastically, putting the Group’s
viability at risk. However, the Group has overcome this difficulty through business restructuring
based on technologies it has cultivated. This was made possible by human resources, sound
and appropriate decisions by management, and the high levels of technological capabilities
developed through the research, development and manufacture of photographic film.
The Group put these capabilities together and tapped into new businesses in various
fields, successfully developing a business structure that can stably generate cash flows. Some
think that when a technology has had its day, a company dependent on it is no longer needed
and is better replaced by a company with new technology. However, I believe that companies
can continue to generate new value by combining and putting to use their management re-
sources which include excellent human resources, technologies, and corporate culture. In that
sense, a company is an extremely rational and efficient organization capable of generating
new value. The Group will capture changes in society, create innovations and continue to de-
liver new value to society while continuing to grow as a going concern.
Viewing social changes as opportunities for and
driving growth of businesses
We help enrich society through our technologies, products,
and services
Based on these ideas, the Fujifilm Group formulated “Value from Innovation” as its corporate
slogan in 2014. In addition, the Group drew up the Sustainable Value Plan 2016 (SVP2016), its
medium-term CSR plan, and the medium-term management plan VISION2016, the action plan
detailing concrete measures to achieve SVP2016. The Group has made every effort to achieve
the objectives of these plans.
In SVP2016, we made a commitment to implementing CSR activities from the new per-
spective of contributing to resolving social issues through its business activities, in addition to
the existing policy of being conscious of the environmental and social impact within business
processes. Based on this policy, the Group devoted its efforts to contributing to resolving
social issues in the priority fields of health and environment through the provision of
energy-saving products and services in the healthcare and other businesses.
Under VISION2016 positioning the healthcare, highly functional materials, document
business fields as growth drivers, the Group has expanded revenue, market share, and profits
using the growth drivers with sales promotions and new product launches, enhanced its busi-
ness portfolio and achieved steady growth in each business. As a result, the Group achieved
revenue of ¥2,322.2 billion and operating income of ¥172.3 billion for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2017 (FY2017/3), the final year of VISION2016. Excluding the negative impact of
the appreciation of the yen (a decrease in revenue of ¥152.7 billion and operating income of
¥33.6 billion), the Group achieved an increase in both revenue and profits, with net income at-
tributable to Fujifilm Holdings rising to a record high of ¥131.5 billion and ROE reaching 6.5%,
the highest for Fujifilm Holdings. In this manner, the Group has succeeded in attaining solid
results during the past three years by simultaneously contributing to resolving social issues and
growing its businesses with linking the two plans of SVP2016 and VISION2016.

Carrying through VISION2019 and achieving
a strategic leap forward
The Fujifilm Group drew up SVP2030 and VISION2019 in August 2017 based on the results
and experience of the preceding two plans to ensure further growth. SVP2030 is a CSR plan
specifying targets for FY2031/3 in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
adopted by the United Nations in September 2015. In this CSR plan, the Group expressed its
renewed strong commitment to contributing to resolving social issues on a global scale through
its business activities. The new medium-term management plan VISION2019 is the action plan
specifying concrete measures to realize the vision the Group will strive to achieve through
SVP2030. Under VISION2019, we will further enhance the business portfolio developed by the
Group with the aim of achieving a strategic leap forward.
Specifically, the plan maps the Imaging, Information and Document Solutions businesses
to the stages of improving profitability, accelerating growth and investing for the future, and
is designed to implement appropriate measures according to each stage in order to further
strengthen the profitability of individual businesses. I believe what is critical is to overcome the
two challenges of driving strong growth in the healthcare field as a core business by improving
the profitability of the pharmaceutical and regenerative medicine businesses and strengthening
the document business field amid the changing business environment. In the healthcare field, we
will enhance the production capacity for the contract manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals and
the development bases for production processes. In addition, the Group will accelerate business
growth by stepping up research and development in fields where the Group can capitalize on its
technologies, such as research and development of pipeline and drug delivery systems. In the
document business, the Group will improve profitability by pursuing thorough cost reduction
and reduction of fixed costs to strengthen the business structure, and firmly utilize its offices’ big
data to achieve the streamlining of operations and working style, as well as productivity reforms
through artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT) to attain an operating income ra-
tio of 10% in FY2021/3. Based on the organic business growth, the Group will aim to achieve a
record high operating income of ¥230 billion and net income attributable to Fujifilm Holdings
of ¥150 billion for FY2020/3, the final year of VISION2019. We will aim for an ROE of 7.3% in
FY2020/3 with the target of achieving an ROE of 8.0% in FY2021/3. Meanwhile, a total of ¥500
billion will be set aside as an investment fund for strategic MA and shareholder returns will be
boosted to ¥300 billion. We plan to pay annual cash dividends of ¥95 per share applicable to
FY2020/3, making consecutive dividend increase for 10 years. For the Group to carry out these
targets, it is necessary for all employees to accept SVP2030 and VISION2019 as their own plans,
and carry out the missions assigned to them as members of a truly global company with a more
proactive and longer-term perspective.

21. Bringing together the Fujifilm Group’s strengths in
diverse fields to create innovation
The Fujifilm Group is a global company with 15 business fields and 277 Group companies
around the world with around 79,000 employees. For the Group’s employees in each country
and region to face issues in their local areas, explore business opportunities on their own, and
deliver appropriate products and services to customers, it is essential that they collaborate
with many people and organizations. To enable this, it is critical that the Group create an open,
fair, and clear corporate culture which is diverse and accepts different values.
We would like to express our deepest regrets to our shareholders and stakeholders
for any inconvenience and concerns caused due to the delay in the announcement of our
consolidated financial results for FY2017/3. This was to review the inappropriate accounting
conducted by overseas sales subsidiaries of Fuji Xerox which is engaged in the document busi-
ness. In order to prevent the recurrence of such an issue, the Group is implementing measures
to strengthen governance, such as dispatching management personnel from Fujifilm Holdings
to Fuji Xerox, integrating the accounting and auditing departments, and establishing the
Committee for Strengthening Governance. Fuji Xerox created the market as a pioneer in the
field of office document solutions and, as a leading company in the industry, has outstanding
capabilities, such as its excellent approach to customers, technological capability, marketing
capability, and strength in proposals. I believe it is important that, through the new manage-
ment structure, we will merge Fujifilm’s strengths such as high strategic capability, speed of
execution, and fairness with those of Fuji Xerox to make it a better company. We have already
launched initiatives to demonstrate the synergy of the two companies in the graphics business
and other businesses to make these challenges into opportunity. The Group will combine the
strengths of the two companies with an open, fair, and clear corporate culture as the guiding
principle, and make all-out efforts for creating new innovations and lead them to the growth of
each of its businesses.
As the management and employees will make a united effort toward attaining
VISION2019, we request the continued support and understanding of all stakeholders of the
Fujifilm Group.

22. Interview with
the COO
To sum up our achievements under the previous medium-term management plan VISION2016,
we accelerated the growth of our growth drivers of the healthcare and highly functional materials
businesses by efficiently utilizing the stable profit and cash generated from the business portfolio
that was established through our successful restructuring of business structure, and succeeded in
improving the profitability of all our businesses. In addition, we have made progress in fulfilling our
business portfolio and strengthening the ability to stably generate profits. As a result, I believe we
have, for the most part, achieved the targets set out in VISION2016.
Specifically, our main accomplishments are as follows.
In the Imaging Solutions segment, the Fujifilm Group achieved significant profit improve-
ments in the photo imaging business, centering around the instax instant photo systems, and the
electronic imaging business, for which we have successfully shifted the focus to high-end mirrorless
digital camera models which significantly improved profitability. In the optical device business, the
Group advanced the development of high value-added products, such as 4K broadcast lenses,
and promoted cost reduction through the downsizing of unprofitable businesses, optimization of
production systems, and improvement of production processes.
In the healthcare business field of the Information Solutions segment, we achieved steady
growth in the four priority fields (endoscopes, ultrasound diagnosis, medical IT, and IVD (In Vitro
Diagnostics)) in the medical systems business, and maintained an operating income ratio of 10%.
In the pharmaceuticals business, the Group made progress with the development of a pipeline
of potential new drugs went as planned, and turned the Bio CDMO (Contract Development
Manufacturing Organization) business into a high growth and high profitability business by apply-
ing technologies which it cultivated through photographic film manufacturing. In the regenerative
medicine business, we solidified the business foundation by transforming Japan Tissue Engineering
Co., Ltd. (J-TEC) into a consolidated subsidiary and acquiring Cellular Dynamics International, Inc.
(CDI). In the highly functional materials business field, we acquired major customers by expanding
the lineup, mainly of advanced products, in the electronic materials business and maintained high

a high level of profits through the stable supply of TAC films, while advancing the development of
new materials. In the industrial products business, sales expansion of highly functional products,
such as the EXCLEAR sensor film for touch screen panels, contributed to the sales growth of the
Group. In the recording media business, Fujifilm introduced large capacity tapes that use barium
ferrite (BaFe) particles based on its unique technologies, and successfully drove sales and profit in
step with the expansion of the data archive market.
In this manner, the Fujifilm Group strengthened many businesses that comprise its business
portfolio. However, reinforcement of the Document Solutions segment remained an issue to be
addressed. In the Document Solutions segment, although growth strategies were implemented,
the Group was unable to make up for the negative factors that occurred during the VISION2016
period, such as increased costs due to the appreciation of the US dollar, the effects of depreciation
of exchange rates of countries in the Asia-Oceania region, and maturing of the printer market. As a
result, both sales and profit in this business fell below our targets. In the pharmaceuticals business
field, sales of low-molecular antimicrobial drugs, one of the major profit sources, were affected by
generic drugs, and therefore profits did not improve.
What the Fujifilm Group will strive to achieve through the new medium-term management
plan VISION2019 is to take appropriate measures for these two issues and further expand the re-
sults attained through VISION 2016.
The new medium-term management plan VISION2019 is a three-year plan designed to lead the
Fujifilm Group to the phase of achieving a strategic leap forward by further enhancing our business
portfolio through deepening the profitability improvement in all projects that was achieved with
VISION2016, and through well-modulated business resources allocation.
The VISION2019 maps the Imaging, Information, and Document solution businesses to the
three stages of improving profitability, accelerating growth, and investing for the future in ac-
cordance with the growth stage of each business segment. In addition, the plan clarifies current
stage of each business and promotes the generation of stable cash-flow by improving profitability,
expanding revenues and profits through acceleration of growth of main business areas, and de-
velopment of businesses with high profitability that will constitute the cornerstones of the Group’s
future business operations, thereby further strengthening the business portfolio to achieve growth
across the Fujifilm Group.
For businesses which are at the stage of “improving profitability,” we will draw up and im-
plement far-sighted strategies to achieve cash flow generation through the further improvement
of profitability. Specifically, we will improve profitability by taking the following measures. In the
photo imaging business, such as color paper, and the graphic systems business, such as com-
puter-to-plate (CTP) plates, we will maintain high profitability by further expanding market share
and sales of high value-added products, despite a decline in total demand. In the optical devices
business, we will promote the sales expansion of highly competitive products that make use of our
proprietary technologies, such as 4K broadcast lenses. In the display materials business, we will
ensure stable supply of TAC film and other materials. In the office products and office printers busi-
ness, we will promote the switchover in product mix from low-end models to high-end models.
For businesses which are at the stage of “accelerating growth,” we will accelerate the
maximization of revenue and profits, in addition to the promotion of growth strategies we have
implemented to date. Specifically, we will aim to achieve further growth by taking the following
measures. In the electronic imaging business, we will continue to expand sales of favorable mirror-
less digital cameras. In the medical systems business, we will aim for an annual sales growth of 7%
by pursuing a sales expansion strategy based on the far-reaching product lineup unique to Fujifilm,
covering X-ray diagnostic imaging systems, medical IT, endoscopes, ultrasound, and IVD systems.
In the bio CDMO business, we will aim for an annual sales growth of over 10% by expanding pro-
duction capacity through capital investment and production process development. In the inkjet
business, we will expand our business by leveraging high-quality and high-durability industrial
heads and inks to develop new fields such as industrial applications and 3D printing, which are ex-
pected to grow. In the recording media business, we will promote even higher capacity with BaFe
particles and aim to raise market share in the magnetic tape market, which is growing in demand

by offering high value-added solutions according to the types of business and operations of cus-
tomers and supporting work-style and productivity reforms by way of utilizing offices’ massive Big
Data and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT).
For businesses which are at the stage of “investing for the future,” we will identify and concen-
trate management resources into areas where we can capitalize on our technologies and strengths
in order to drive the growth of those businesses into engines of growth of the Fujifilm Group in the
future. Specifically, in the pharmaceuticals business, we will pursue the development of the existing
pipeline that targets disease areas with unmet medical needs. In the drug delivery system (DDS)
field, we will work to attain the commercial application of formulation technology that makes use
of our proprietary technologies, such as micro-needles and liposomes. In the regenerative medi-
cine business, we will accelerate our business growth by expanding the lineup of iPS cell-derived
differentiation cells in the drug discovery support business, and promoting the sales of autologous
cultured epidermis / cartilage in the cell therapy business. In cutting-edge regenerative medicine
products using iPS cells, we will accelerate RD for the areas of eye disease, heart disease, neu-
rological disorders and cancer. In addition, we will work on business expansion by expanding the
contract cell culture business and deploying the culture medium business globally.
In businesses other than the above-mentioned businesses, we will also take measures accord-
ing to the stage of each business, and enhance business capability to further reinforce our business
portfolio. Through these measures, we will aim to achieve the targets for revenues and profits for
the final year of VISION 2019.
The performance targets of the medium-term management plan VISION2019 are targets for
organic business growth and do not take into account business expansion through MA. We will
pursue technological synergies and execute strategic MA that will make one plus one equal three
or four, and aim for revenue and profits that exceed targets.
In drawing up the new medium-term management plan, we discussed which measures need
to be taken now based on a simulation of how our businesses should look in three years with
an eye on changes in the economic and market environments. We will strengthen collaboration
between business divisions and utilize the strengths and assets of each function, such as sales,
marketing and technology, thereby leading to the expansion of each business. We will unite efforts
toward achieving the targets set out in VISION2019. The Fujifilm Group looks forward to meeting
your expectations on growth in the next three years.
Strengthening and developing new businesses, improving management efficiency, and strength-
ening the global development activities are important methods for achieving our targets of
VISION2019.
From the perspective of strengthening and developing new businesses, an important task in
achieving the targets is to turn the pharmaceuticals, bio CDMO and regenerative medicine busi-
nesses, which are priority business fields of VISION2019, into profit. In the pharmaceuticals and bio
CDMO business, we will make capital investment and drive sales and profit growth, and accelerate
progress in the research and development of pharmaceuticals by narrowing down themes to those
in fields in which Fujifilm can draw upon its strengths. In the regenerative medicine business, we
will expand the lineup of iPS cell-derived differentiated cells in the drug discovery support busi-
ness, and promote the sales of autologous cultured epidermis / cartilage manufactured by J-TEC
in the cell therapy business. In addition, we will collaborate with regenerative venture companies
and research institutions with advanced technologies, such as universities, and government agen-
cies, and build the foundation for the regenerative medicine business.
From the perspective of improving management efficiency, we manage with particular em-
phasis on numerical targets, and allocate resources for capital investment and RD expenses to
each business based on priorities according to which of the abovementioned three stages it is in.
For businesses which are at the stage of “improving profitability,” we will make capital investment
only in projects designed to improve profitability. For businesses which are at the stage of “acceler-
ating growth” and “investing for the future,” we will proactively make the investments necessary to
drive sales and build a business foundation for the future. In this manner, we will allocate resources

25. We express our deepest regrets for that the issue of inappropriate accounting at Fuji Xerox New
Zealand and Australia have caused concern and inconvenience to our shareholders and stakehold-
ers. This is an issue that the entire Fujifilm Group must deal with, and VISION2019 therefore maps
out the strengthening of governance as a key issue to develop the foundation for promoting its
business strategy.
The Group established the Committee for Strengthening Governance, where I serve as
Chairman, in July. Under the committee, the Company launched five theme-based projects, which
are a project for enhanced management of group companies, project for enhanced account-
ing, project for enhanced auditing, project for enhanced compliance, and project for enhanced
IT governance, and is working on addressing each issue. In line with this policy, the Group has
implemented governance enhancement measures. For instance, we implemented compliance
re-education for all management-level personnel and employees. In addition, we established the
Subsidiaries Administration Division in August, and integrated Fujifilm’s financial accounting func-
tions and audit function with those of Fuji Xerox in September.
I had face-to-face discussions with all the management personnel of the Fujifilm Group in
August, and the details were communicated to all employees of the Fujifilm Group companies,
including overseas subsidiaries. On that occasion, I shared what the inappropriate accounting in-
cident had made realize. Wishful thinking that “minor misconduct like this won’t be a problem”
can erode the trust of the public and inflict serious damage that could threaten the existence of a
company. It takes a long time to build trust but it only takes seconds to destroy it, and it is harder
to restore lost trust than to start again from scratch; and it is important to eliminate the communi-
cation gap and talk openly among Group companies, superiors and subordinates, organizations,
etc. I believe our employees have become aware of the importance of these things.
We will announce to our shareholders and stakeholders the progress of the initiative to
strengthen governance through financial results briefing sessions and on other occasions.
Anchored by a solid corporate governance system, we will strive to attain the targets of
VISION2019.
based on priorities and ensure the efficient use of cash flow across the Fujifilm Group. We will
manage capital investment within depreciation in principle, and aim to reduce the ratio of RD
expenses to sales from 6.9% in the FY2017/3 results to 6% or below in FY2020/3, the final year of
VISION2019. In each of the businesses and back-office departments, we will continue with mea-
sures for improving efficiency, such as review and reduction of various expenses and promotion of
shared services. In the pharmaceuticals and the document businesses in particular, we will promote
thorough cost reductions and management and reduction of fixed costs while securing capital
investment in their growth fields. In addition, we will promote management that places emphasis
on speedy decision making and management by encouraging each employee to think about and
implement what they should do to deliver innovative results in a short time and improve their work
efficiency.
Strengthening global development activities is the key to achieving sales growth through
VISION2019. To this end, we will work to expand sales of instax instant photo systems and film in
emerging countries, in addition to the United States and Europe, where the product is enjoying
strong sales. In the medical systems business, we will strengthen comprehensive solution propos-
als centering on medical IT solutions worldwide, and deliver products and services that meet local
needs, in particular in emerging markets such as the Middle East and Africa. In the bio CDMO
business, we will make capital investment mainly in the United States and the United Kingdom. In
addition, we will advance business partnerships with China Resources (Holdings) Company Limited,
one of China’s largest business conglomerates, and JSC R-Pharm, one of Russia’s leading pharma-
ceuticals companies, to expand business in the vast markets in China and Russia. In addition, we
will seek to expand sales of products of Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., which became our
consolidated subsidiary in April, by utilizing Fujifilm’s overseas sales channels. In the Document
Solutions segment, we will pursue global business development by maintaining the top position in
the growth markets of China and Asia and strengthen collaboration with Xerox Corporation.

26. Regarding Inappropriate Accounting of Overseas Sales Subsidiaries of Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.
With respect to inappropriate accounting conducted in the past by overseas sales subsidiaries of Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. (“FX”),
a consolidated subsidiary of FUJIFILM Holdings (“FH”), we deeply apologize to our shareholders, investors, customers and
other stakeholders for any inconvenience and concerns caused. This section explains the revealed facts and recurrence-pre-
vention measures to be taken by the Fujifilm Group.
Outline Background and Managerial Issues
As the background to the inappropriate accounting and
managerial issues, the Independent Investigation Commit-
tee indicated the following points:
Background to Inappropriate Accounting
• The system of incentives including bonus payments
for the managing director and employees at FXNZ,
based on the sales target achievement, led to contin-
ue the inappropriate accounting practice, recording
sales early.
• At FXNZ, there was a concentration of authority with
the managing director of FXNZ, and supervision by
the board of directors did not function effectively, re-
sulting in the lack of transparency in the business
management process.
• There were problems including an insufficient subsidi-
ary management system at Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific Pte
Ltd and the lack of control over the audit system and
administration department at FX. (Accordingly, infor-
mation was blocked in the process of reporting within
FX and appropriate information on the actual situa-
tion did not reach the Chairman and President of FX.)
• There were systemic deficiencies in FH monitoring of
FX and its subsidiaries, the audit system of the audit
department and the information sharing system. (Ac-
cordingly, appropriate information on the situation
was not reported by FX to FH.)
Managerial Issues
Issues to be addressed at FXNZ
• Review of incentives emphasized on sales achieve-
ment
• Improve the internal system to correct the reporting
line centralization
Issues to be addressed at FX
• Strengthen the system of managing subsidiaries and
affiliates
• Strengthen information sharing within FX and improve
transparency of the business management process
• Strengthen the supervisory function of the board of
directors and the audit function of the audit super-
visory board members and the audit department
• Strengthen the checking function of the accounting
department
• Improve awareness of compliance with laws and regu-
lations
Issues to be addressed at FH
• Strengthen the function of managing FX
It was identified as being necessary to review certain ac-
counting practices related to certain sales leasing transac-
tions in and prior to FY2016/3 at Fuji Xerox New Zealand
Ltd (“FXNZ”), an overseas sales subsidiary of FX. As an ini-
tial step, FH established an internal investigation commit-
tee to conduct investigations. Furthermore, to enhance the
objectivity of the investigations, we established the Inde-
pendent Investigation Committee, consisting of outside
experts that do not have any financial or other interests in
the Fujifilm Group in April 2017, to clarify all the facts.
In June 2017 the report from the Independent Investi-
gation Committee showed that in addition to FXNZ, Fuji
Xerox Australia Pty. Ltd. (“FXA”) also conduced inappropri-
ate accounting.
The accumulated impact of the inappropriate account-
ing on the “net“ income attributable to FUJIFILM Holdings
through FY2011/3 to FY2016/3 is a loss of ¥28.1 billion.
The results of the investigation by the Independent Investi-
gation committee also raised an issue with regard to FX’s
internal controls. Currently, FH is engaged in initiatives to
prevent recurrence and strengthen governance.
About the Inappropriate Accounting Practice
FXNZ had been selling equipment, by introducing Man-
aged Services Agreements (MSAs) that bundled together
equipment sales and maintenance services. Under MSAs,
sales equivalent to the price of the copying machines are
recorded as a single sale as a capital lease upon installation
of equipment during the first fiscal year, and following that,
the sales price is recovered as a copy service fee deter-
mined by multiplying the actual number of copies by the
copy unit price, which is set according to the monthly tar-
get volume.
In order to treat contracts as capital leases, they must
satisfy certain conditions including possibility of the recov-
ery of a minimum payment of lease fees. In the case of
FXNZ, however, all transactions, including those with con-
ditions that did not satisfy the capital lease conditions,
were recorded as capital leases. Consequently, there were
many transactions in which receivables could not be recov-
ered, and this became common practice. A similar account-
ing practice was also conducted at FXA.
Corporate Governance
24
27. FH has implemented personnel actions in response to the
problem. Three directors, one senior vice president and
one full-time corporate auditor at FX were subject to man-
datory retirement, and one corporate vice president was
demoted. Ten officers, namely the president, the other full-
time corporate auditor, two corporate auditors at FX and
the aforementioned six officers, had their compensation
and bonuses reduced by 10-50% for three months. The
chairman and president of FH also returned 10% of their
compensation over the three-month period.
FH makes progress in strengthening of governance as
following.

Changes to governance structure of FH
• Reducing the number of directors from 12 to nine for

ation by the board of directors and making quicker

the ratio of outside directors on the board to 1/3 to en-
sure the appropriateness of decision-making by incor-
porating opinions from multiple perspectives

these findings seriously, we will make every possible effort to restore the trust of stakeholders under the new
management structure with a stronger governance system.

tion stipulate that the Board can consist of up to 12 Direc-
tors. Currently, the Board has nine Directors, including three

principle once a month, with extraordinary Board meetings
held on an as-required basis. In addition, certain matters are

Executive Officer System
The Company has adopted an executive officer system to
facilitate agile business execution. Executive officers carry
out business affairs in accordance with the basic policies
and strategies formulated by the Board of Directors. The
Company currently has 13 executive officers, including six
concurrently serving as Board members. The executive offi-
cers have a one-year term of office, the same as the Com-
pany’s Directors.
Management Council
The Management Council makes decisions on the submis-
sion of matters to be exclusively deliberated by the Board
of Directors. At the same time, the Council deliberates on
the measures adopted by executive officers to implement
particularly important initiatives in accordance with the ba-
sic policies, plans, and strategies formulated by the Board
of Directors.
Audit Supervisory Board and Audit
Supervisory Board Members
The Company has adopted an audit and supervisory board
system with an audit and supervisory board, which consists
of four members, including two outside Audit Superviso-
ry Board members. Both of Outside Audit Supervisory
Board members, Hisayoshi Kobayakawa and Shiro Uchida
are registered Certified Public Accountants and possess
considerable knowledge about finance and accounting. As
an independent organization with key roles and responsi-
bilities in the Company’s corporate governance system to
ensure transparent and fair decision making in the business
as a whole, Audit Supervisory Board members audit the
entire scope of Directors’ performance of their duties fol-
lowing audit policies and an audit plan in conformity with
the Audit Supervisory Board members’ audit standards
determined by the Audit Supervisory Board. At meetings
of the Audit Supervisory Board, which are held in princi-
ple once a month, information on audit results is shared
among Board members. In addition, all Audit Superviso-
ry Board members attend meetings of the Board of Direc-
tors, while the full-time Audit Supervisory Board
members attend every Management Council meeting, reg-
ularly exchange opinions with the representative Directors,
and audit the entire range of business execution. With the
aim of strengthening the audit functions of the Audit Su-
pervisory Board, the Company has established the Audit
Supervisory Board Office and currently appointed six
personnel.
Internal Audits
The Company established a Global Internal Audit Division
in September 2017, which currently comprises 56 person-
nel, as an internal auditing unit that is independent from
business operations. Integrating the internal auditing func-
tion of the Group companies, the Company has established
a global auditing system to strengthen the auditing func-
tion of the entire group through enhancing the auditing ca-
pability and efficiency by using IT. In addition, the division
is in charge of assessing internal control over financial re-
porting by the Company and its Group companies in re-
sponse to the April 2008 application of the internal control
reporting system in Japan. The Company compiles the
outcome of the assessment in a “Management’s Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Moreover, des-
ignated staff are appointed to operating companies and
audits are conducted across a wide range of areas, includ-
ing the environment, quality control, security, labor, export
control, and issues relating to the Pharmaceutical Affairs
Law of Japan.
Accounting Audits
The Company engages KPMG AZSA LLC as its indepen-
dent auditors. KPMG AZSA LLC expresses an audit opinion
on the Company’s financial statements from an indepen-
dent standpoint.

builds appropriate risk management systems at all Group
companies. Complementing these systems, in the case of
important risk matters, the CSR Committee conducts re-
views and promotes basic policy development and appro-
priate measures from a group-wide perspective.
Moreover, the Company has established an internal
control system based on the “Basic Policy on Establishing a
Structure for an Internal Control System” decided by reso-
lution of the Board of Directors. Each year, the Company
