Mastering Powerful Trends

It is difficult to see the pachinko and pachislot machine market achieving the significant growth of the past. Furthermore, the Amusement Machine Sales Business and the Amusement Center Operations segments cannot win out through ideas that continue along the same lines as before. On the other hand, some markets are growing rapidly, such as the digital game area. And, the fi rst precursors of integrated resorts' emergence as Japan's newest industry are appearing. Fiscal 2015 is the inaugural year of reforms that the SEGA SAMMY Group will advance resolutely to master the powerful trends swirling around and throughout the entertainment industry.

As we move forward, we would like to ask for the continued support of our shareholders and other investors.
