To Our Shareholders

We would like to thank our shareholders for their continuing support and encouragement and wish each one of them the greatest success in their endeavors.

A general overview of our business performance for the fiscal period of March 2020 (April 1,

2 2019 to March 31, 2020) is provided below.

Results for the Year Ended March 31, 2020

During the period under review, amid the continuing stagnation of the overseas economies, the downward pressure of the consumption tax hike and the impact of natural disasters together with the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) resulted in the rapid slowdown of the Japanese economy. In this climate, the construction industry was able to operate under a generally stable business environment, as robust construction investments, mainly in public investments, were maintained.

In these circumstances, the Company's consolidated net sales increased 2.5% year on year to ¥226,372 million. Meanwhile, as a result of factors such as the deterioration of the gross profit from construction work, despite the improvement of the gross profit from civil engineering work, consolidated gross profit decreased 7.8% year on year to ¥29,089 million, operating income decreased 16.0% year on year to ¥11,517 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent decreased 20.5% year on year to ¥9,796 million, due to the deterioration of extraordinary income/loss.

Dividend for the Year Ended March 31, 2020

The Company decided to pay a dividend of ¥143.00 per share (interim dividend of ¥41.00, year-end dividend of ¥102.00) for the period ended March 31, 2020 based on its basic policy regarding profit sharing.

The Okumura Group, in an effort to ensure proactive investments for the achievement of the "Vision toward 2030," which was formulated in April 2019, and the steady return of profits to our shareholders, has revised its measures for shareholder returns from this term as follows.

Measures for Shareholder Returns from the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020

Total payout ratio*1 (consolidated): 50% or more

Payout ratio (consolidated): 30% or more*2

Flexibly purchase treasury stock

Introduce the interim dividend system

*1: Total payout ratio = (Total dividends + Total purchase of treasury stock) / Net income attributable to owners of the parent

*2: Regardless of the Company's business performance, set a minimum dividend of ¥45 per share as the Company has stably paid thus far

Medium Term Business Plan

The outlook for the Japanese economy is expected to remain harsh for the time being, given the continuing slowdown of internal and external demand as a result of the effects of the spread of COVID-19. The construction industry expects to maintain a certain level of robustness in public investments thanks to the effects of government policies. However, with no end in sight to the COVID-19 pandemic, and due to the uncertainties surrounding corporate capital investment trends and the impact of the suspension of works and other events on business performance, the situation will continue to be precarious.

Under these circumstances, the Okumura Group is committed to responding flexibly to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 while continuing its business. Moreover, as the Group looks ahead to the "Vision toward 2030," it will engage in initiatives to "increase corporate value,""expand business domains," and "utilize human resources" based on the "Medium Term Business Plan (FY2019-FY2021)."

Specifically, in the construction business, we will continue to work on disaster-prevention/ mitigation areas where demand is expected to grow going forward, maintenance and administration, strengthening renewal area, promoting technological development that contributes to enhancing our competitive edge in the industry and our productivity. We also enhance our capabilities to propose solutions through design and construction that meet diverse customer needs. In the real estate business, we will strengthen initiatives to acquire excellent and profitable real estate and boost business development, while at the same making efforts to utilize our stock through such means as renovation projects in consideration of the environment. Additionally, we will aim to diversify our earnings base and proactively engage in the promotion of the PPP/concession and new businesses such as energy business. Furthermore, we will advance workstyle reforms by firmly establishing the system of 8 days holiday for every 4 weeks at construction sites, encouraging to take leave and holidays and working to reduce overtime.

The Company looks forward to the continued support and guidance of our shareholders.
