NAKAYAMA Toshiki

President

and Chief Executive Officer

With a focus on contributing to the resolution of social issues

in Japan and overseas, we will further enhance our corporate value and achieve sustainable growth.

formulated due to the establishment of the new MIRAIT Group as a result of the integration of three companies, namely, MIRAIT Holdings Corporation, MIRAIT Corporation, and MIRAIT Technologies Corporation (scheduled for July 2022), and projects a vision for the year 2030.

The business strategy is centered on contributing to the resolution of social issues in Japan and overseas. To that end, it has identified the key social issues that we need to address. In relation to the growing demand for environmental conservation, it focuses on "Realization of a decarbonized society through business activities" and "Contribution to the creation of environmentally-friendly and resilient cities and villages." We will be making more active proposals from this perspective to companies in various regions, as well as to national and local governments.

The MIRAIT Group's Purpose (raison d'etre) and Mission (social mission) will also be redefined, and will be announced in May 2022.

Pursuit of Human-Centered Management

Under the new business strategy, we will promote five business reforms, namely "5 Changes."

The first of these changes is expressed as "Human-Centered Management." With engineering as its main business, the MIRAIT Group is a company built on the daily on-site work of its employees and collaborators. The business growth of the MIRAIT Group will be realized through the change and growth of each individual in charge of the site. First, as a foundation to ensure that such processes are working actively, we are promoting "Safety-oriented Management" and "Health-oriented Management" that create a workplace environment where employees can work with peace of mind. Then,

version of "smart work" and build a "good company" for our employees. In addition, as an educational program that encourages people to change and grow, we will operate our "Future College" as an in-house university, expand our real campus where employees can practice their skills, and develop a digital learning environment that lets them learn anywhere in Japan. In order to create a group of human resources that can change society and change the future, we will invest heavily in our people.

Accelerating Business Growth and Strengthening Profit Structure

Change 2 refers to "Acceleration of Business Growth." We will designate the fields in which we aim to achieve business growth as "Future Domain," and work on it by organically combining the management resources of the "Communications Infrastructure Domain," which is centered on the carrier business, and the "Corporate/Environmental and Social Domain," which is centered on the solutions business.

There are four key elements in the "Future Domain." The first is to accelerate city and village development projects and projects that meet corporate needs for DX and greening. We will respond to the needs of each region and company by combining our technical capabilities in communications, IoT, ICT, electricity, energy, civil engineering, and other fields with our greatest strength, on-site capabilities. The second is to make a foray into the green power generation business that will contribute to the era of decarbonization. In addition to the construction, operation and maintenance of power generation facilities, we will become a power generation company

Unchanging Responsibilities and Continuous Improvement

27 billion yen (operating income ratio of 6%), and ROE of more than 8.0%. To achieve these targets, we set up three pillars: "strengthening of the profit structure of existing businesses,"

we will promote workstyle reforms to realize the MIRAIT Group's

ourselves and supply renewable energy. The third is to strengthen

We, at the MIRAIT Group, have been engaged in the social implementation of infrastructures throughout our history, including before we became the current MIRAIT Group. Through engineering, we support the development of people's lives and industries, and once a natural disaster such as a typhoon or earthquake strikes, we do our best to maintain and restore the infrastructures. Our social responsibilities of this kind remain unchanged today when information and communication networks have evolved, and will do so even with further development in the future.

While fulfilling these responsibilities, we will utilize the latest knowledge and technology and make every effort to improve ourselves in order to meet the expectations of our customers and society. This principle is also in line with Matsuo Basho's words we often refer to: Fuekiryuko, which expresses the idea of immutability.

"strengthening of the growth potential of business in new fields," and "strengthening of the management base."

In FY 2020, we minimized the impact of the spread of the new coronavirus infection on the progress of construction and new orders by introducing new workstyles. We achieved all of our targets one year ahead of schedule, thanks to the concerted efforts of our employees to implement the three pillars as well as government measures (introduction of ICT in schools and depopulated areas) that provided a tailwind. To return these positive results to our shareholders, we increased the annual dividend (by 5 yen, to 45 yen per share) and bought back our own shares (6 million shares in total) during the fiscal year.

In the current fiscal year, we are working to establish this achievement as our "true strength," as well as to further strengthen shareholder returns.

Building and Maintaining

Starting with telecommunications infrastructure, we build a broad range of systems offering greater convenience in daily life and society as a whole and ensuring greater safety and security (comprehensive engineering: configuration), and maintain them (servicing: maintenance and operation) both in Japan and overseas.

FY 2020 MIRAIT Group Sales

our software business that supports customers' DX and infrastructure virtualization by making it a strategic subsidiary. Amid the growing use of software as part of the foundation for all infrastructure, the MIRAIT Group will integrate and strengthen its software business. Lastly, the fourth is to strengthen our global business catering to the demand for sharing data centers and infrastructures around the world. With our experience in Japan as a foundation, we will build high-quality infrastructures to contribute to the development of other countries.

In promoting the Future Domain, we will shift our business from the conventional construction-centered model to a full value chain model that encompasses all processes from planning and design to construction and operation.

Change 3 represents "Top-Class Profitability." We aim to strengthen our profit structure and reach the highest level of profitability in the industry by achieving efficient use of management resources through the three-way merger and the collaboration between the five companies, i.e., the new company resulting from the merger, TTK Co.,Ltd., SOLCOM Co.,Ltd., Shikokutsuken Co.,Ltd., and Lantrovision

  1. Ltd., as well as by thoroughly promoting the efficiency of operations partly through DX.

The Possibilities of Data

Change 4 is "Data Insight Management." Engineering and data are now inseparable. By extracting and leveraging insights from data, we are opening up many new possibilities.

drones and other devices will greatly improve the efficiency of maintenance. AI-based diagnosis and prediction of water pipe deterioration is also promising.

I often encourage my employees to "improve safety scientifically." For example, we have installed drive recorders in all of our vehicles, analyzed the driving data and shared it with our field staff, which has significantly reduced the number of accidents. Data can also be very useful in preventing heatstroke and accidents at construction sites.

Building an Organizational Foundation for ESG Management

Lastly, Change 5 is "Strengthening of ESG Management Foundation." On September 1, 2021, MIRAIT Holdings established the ESG Management Promotion Committee. It is placed directly under the Executive Committee, chaired by me and joined by officers and presidents of Group companies. The committee meets regularly to discuss material social issues that the MIRAIT Group should address, as well as Group-wide ESG strategies and policies, ESG-related initiatives, and information disclosure.

In October, we also endorsed the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). In addition to participating in the global movement toward carbon neutrality, we will identify and disclose the financial impact of climate change risks and opportunities.

Moving forward by uniting the power of Group officers and employees

NTT Operations

157.0bil. yen

The MIRAIT Group builds, maintains and operates the NTT Group's fixed-line communication facilities and provides support to make optical fiber networks even more prevalent. Although initially focused on building those facilities, in recent years we have expanded into facility maintenance and operation as well. When disaster strikes, our emergency repairs and reconstruction safeguard these communication networks.

Multicarrier

98.2bil. yen

21%

The MIRAIT Group builds, maintains and operates mobile communications facilities to support the increasing speed and capacity of mobile networks. We are currently conducting constructions for the expansion of 5G service area.

Our Group also builds and maintains fixed-line communications facilities for communication carriers, conducts CATV, and builds and maintains fixed-line and mobile communications facilities overseas (Australia, Philippines, and Sri Lanka).

Environmental and Social Innovation

58.1bil. yen

13%

The MIRAIT Group builds, maintains and operates solar power generation systems, EV charging stations and storage battery systems to make new energy infrastructures more accessible.

In addition, we will contribute to the construction of next-generation environmental and social infrastructures through the elimination of utility poles (undergrounding of electric wires), electrical and air conditioning work, including LED installation, water and sewage work as well as road infrastructure work, such as bridge construction.

ICT Solutions

150.3bil. yen

32%

With our ICT technology, we provide high-quality solutions that respond to a wide range of social and business issues, including introducing LAN/PBX and Wi-Fi, ensuring security, building management advancement, and promotion of operational efficiency. We have begun building and operating data centers and using drones to further expand the breadth of these solutions.

A prime example of this is digital twins in design and construction. In the past, the construction of communication base stations required frequent trips to the roof of the building, each time requiring permission from the building owner. However, using digital twins with 3D mapping technology can dramatically streamline the work by reducing the number of times you need to visit the site. This method is also valid for underground water pipes and telephone cables.

The power of data is astonishing in the operation and maintenance as well. Steel towers installed over a wide geographical area are exposed to the elements, and gradually become rusty and damaged, but this is not easy to check. Utilizing the data collected by

05

In order to keep us all in step towards the year 2030, this fall we conducted a survey of all 14,000 officers and employees of the MIRAIT Group. Our shift to a business strategy focused on resolving social issues reflects the thoughts shared by many of us. We are also working on redefining our Purpose and Mission based on the results of this survey. We are determined to make a dynamic progress by uniting the power of employees in various positions who will drive the new MIRAIT Group forward.

Your further expectations and cooperation to the MIRAIT Group will be greatly appreciated.

A Step Forward

As one of the themes for building the next social infrastructure, the MIRAIT Group places great importance on water. Shikokutsuken Co., Ltd. is involved in the construction of distribution reservoirs in projects to relocate and upgrade filtration plants. As well, SOLCOM Co.,Ltd. has developed "nano gate," a self-cleaning system for building water supply and drainage pipes, which enables low-cost,low-labor maintenance of water supply and drainage pipes and other water-related facilities.
