Medium-Term Management Plan
2023–2025 Medium-Term Management Plan: Overview of the plan
The objective of the Fujitsu Group’s new Medium-Term Management Plan (new medium-term plan), starting in fiscal 2023, is to establish a business model for sustainable growth and improved profitability that will position us to achieve our vision for 2030 and beyond. The plan has three themes: transform our business model and portfolio, ensure reliable support for the modernization of customers’ IT assets, and improve the profitability of our international business. We have set four key strategies to secure the successful promotion of these three themes. The business model and portfolio strategy is based on the growth of the service domain, centered on the Fujitsu Uvance business. Through the customer success/regional strategy, we will establish greater support structures for global customers with Japan-originated businesses, expand our consulting capability, build a structure to support customer modernization, significantly improve profitability in Regions (International), and further evolve our strategic alliance partnerships. The technology strategy is based on developing five core technologies, including and centered on AI, and utilize them to improve value to our stakeholders, including to society. Our people strategy includes globally unifying standard roles and developing our workforce portfolio aligned to our business growth needs. Additionally, we continue improving productivity and strengthening our management foundation across the business. We will diligently execute these four key strategies to maximize the value we provide to stakeholders and achieve continued sustainable growth.
2023–2025 Medium-Term Management Plan: Financial and non-financial indicators
Our financial targets for fiscal 2025, the final year of this medium-term plan, are revenue of ¥4.2 trillion, adjusted operating profit of ¥500.0 billion, and an adjusted operating profit margin of 12%. Centering on Service Solutions, we aim to boost profitability, driven by growth from Fujitsu Uvance. Furthermore, by improving working capital efficiency to strengthen our cash flow generation capabilities, by fiscal 2025 we aim to expand core free cash flow (FCF) to ¥300.0 billion, around twice the fiscal 2022 level. Also, by this date, we intend to achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in earnings per share (EPS) of between 14% and 16% by optimally allocating the increased cash flow. We will progressively implement our financial strategy to achieve sustainable improvements in corporate value.
To measure and substantiate our materiality contribution to customers and society, and augment our foundation for sustainable growth, we have set non-financial key performance indicators (KPIs) for fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2025 in four areas: the environment, customers, productivity, and people. We also have initiatives underway targeted to achieve these goals. We are continuing to improve Customer NPS and employee engagement, which were management targets under our previous medium-term plan. In addition, we have added greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as an indicator for the environment, operating profit per employee as a productivity measure, and percentage of female managers globally as one of our diversity indicators. We further conduct quantitative analysis to understand how these non-financial initiatives contribute to our financial performance and enhance our corporate value.
