1. Overview of the Consolidated Operating Results and Others

(1) Overview of the Consolidated Operating Results

Despite the global economy in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 being steady overall, the future of the global economy has suddenly become uncertain due to the spread of COVID-19 that broke out from 2020.

Looking at conditions by business segment, in the Imaging Products Business, the digital camera interchangeable lens type market and the compact digital camera market continued to shrink. In the Precision Equipment Business, capital investments for mid-to-small size panels have settled, and while some capital investments for large size panels have been postponed in the FPD-related field, capital investments for the semiconductor-related field were on a recovery trend. In the Healthcare Business, performance was solid in both the bioscience field and the ophthalmic diagnosis field.

In such circumstances, market conditions deteriorated rapidly in the fourth quarter due to the spread of COVID-19.

Under the medium-term management plan announced in May 2019, the Group has carried out various measures with the aim of establishing a foundation for sustainable growth in enterprise value.

First, as part of generating new core pillars of profit, the Group focused on launching the Material Processing Business by measures such as introducing optical processing machine series to the market, and forming a comprehensive business alliance with DMG MORI CO., LTD. In addition, in order to improve the profitability of existing businesses, the Group took measures such as conducting fundamental reforms to the business structure of the Imaging Products Business, as well as reducing costs through optimization of the supply chain of core businesses and streamlining of management and back-office departments. Furthermore, as part of the governance reform, the Group took initiatives such as the establishment of a Nominating Committee and the diversification of its external directors.

Under these circumstances, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, decreases were seen in revenue by 117,648 million yen (16.6%) year on year to 591,012 million yen, operating profit by 75,902 million yen (91.8%) year on year to 6,751million yen, profit before income taxes by 76,051 million yen (86.5%) year on year to 11,864 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of the parent by 58,820 million yen (88.4%) year on year to 7,693 million yen.

Performance by segment is as follows.

[ Imaging Products Business ]

For the digital camera-interchangeable lens type, the Group made efforts to expand sales of mid- to high-end products for the professional and hobbyist segments by launching Z 50, a compact, lightweight and high-performance mirrorless camera, and D780, a high performance and multifunctional digital SLR camera, as well as by expanding the product line-up of interchangeable lenses for mirrorless cameras.

For the compact digital cameras, the Group focused on sales of high value-added products, with the launch of COOLPIX P950, which is equipped with an 83x optical zoom lens.

However, unit sales decreased due to the shrinking market, in addition to the decline in demand and the postponement of new product launches caused by the spread of COVID-19.

As a result, revenue for the Imaging Products Business decreased by 23.7% year on year to 225,894 million yen, and restructuring costs and impairment losses on non-current assets were recorded, resulting in theoperating loss of 17,153 million yen (operating profit of 22,069 million yen was recorded in the previous fiscal year).

[ Precision Equipment Business ]

In the FPD lithography system field, unit sales fell overall despite steady sales of equipment that supports the Gen 10.5 plate size. Furthermore, sales of some equipment were postponed to the next fiscal year due to the spread of

COVID-19, resulting in a significant decline in revenue and profits.

In the semiconductor lithography system field, the increase in unit sales of ArF immersion scanners and ArF scanners led to a rise in revenue and profits.

As a result, revenue for the Precision Equipment Business decreased by 12.7% year on year to 239,728 million yen, and operating profit decreased by 42.8% year on year to 46,774 million yen.

[ Healthcare Business ]

The bioscience field and the ophthalmic diagnosis field had been performing steadily toward an increase in sales of biological microscopes and ultra-wide field retinal imaging devices, respectively. However, growth slowed sharply in both fields due to the spread of COVID-19, resulting in reduced revenue.

As a result, revenue for the Healthcare Business decreased by 5.2% year on year to 62,024 million yen. Despite making efforts to minimize losses such as through cost reduction, operating loss grew to 2,455 million yen (as compared to an operating loss of 1,937 million yen in the previous fiscal year).

[ Industrial Metrology and Others ]

In the Industrial Metrology Business, revenue decreased due to sluggish market conditions mainly in China and the rest of Asia, as well as a cutback in investment caused by the spread of COVID-19. Although profitability increased as a result of efforts such as reducing costs, factors such as impairment of goodwill led to a decrease in profits.

In the Customized Products Business, revenue for solid-state lasers and optical components increased.

In the Glass Business, revenue decreased due to deteriorating market conditions caused by the spread of COVID- 19, in spite of efforts to expand sales of photomask substrates for FPD.

As a result, revenue for the Industrial Metrology and Others decreased by 12.6% year on year to 63,366 million yen, and operating profit decreased by 54.1% year on year to 3,185 million yen.

(2) Overview of Financial Position

The balance of total assets as of March 31, 2020 decreased 129,104 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,005,881 million yen. This was mainly due to the decrease of cash and cash equivalents by 87,021 million yen and trade and other receivables by 28,068 million yen.

The balance of total liabilities as of March 31, 2020 decreased 54,138 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 464,121 million yen. This was primarily because trade and other payables decreased by 27,638 million yen and advances received decreased by 16,968 million yen.

The balance of total equity as of March 31, 2020 decreased 74,966 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 541,760 million yen. This was mainly because while 40,002 million yen of own shares were repurchased, other components of equity fell by 19,510 million yen due to factors such as decreases in exchange differences on translation of foreign operations and in fair value of investment securities, and retained earnings also decreased by 16,108 million yen, primarily as a result of dividends paid.

In addition, treasury stock of 35,279 million yen was cancelled in the year ended March 31, 2020.

(3) Overview of Cash Flows

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, for the cash flows from operating activities, net cash of 16,419 million yen was provided in operating activities, as profit before income taxes of 11,864 million yen and depreciation and amortization of 34,105 million yen were posted, and settlement from legal proceedings over patents was received. However on the contrary, decreases were seen in trade and other payables and advances received, and also income taxes were paid. (Net cash of 68,901 million yen was provided in the previous fiscal year).

For the cash flows from investing activities, the net cash used in investing activities was 21,281 million yen, primarily owing to the purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, in addition to the purchases of investment securities, in spite of the proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment of 4,505 million yen and proceeds from sales of investment securities of 5,870 million yen.(Net cash of 25,304 million yen was used in the previous fiscal year).

For the cash flows from financing activities, net cash used in financing activities was 72,739 million yen, mainly due to the payment of dividends and the repurchasing of own shares. (Net cash of 21,583 million yen was used in the previous fiscal year).

In addition, the effect of exchange rate change on cash and cash equivalents decreased 9,421 million yen.

As a result of the above, the balance of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2020 fell by 87,021 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 324,034 million yen.

(4) Future Outlook

The consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 has yet to be determined, as it is difficult to make reasonable calculations at this time due to the spread of COVID-19.

The Group will make disclosures as soon as it is possible to calculate the consolidated financial forecast.

(5) Shareholder Returns Policy and Dividends

The Company's fundamental policy on shareholder returns is to distribute a steady dividend that reflects the perspective of shareholders, and simultaneously realizing appropriate capital allocation flexibly from a mid to long-term perspective, while expanding investment (in capital and in development) in business and technology development to ensure future growth and enhance competitiveness. Based on this policy, during the cumulative period of the current medium-term management plan for the year ended March 31, 2020 to the year ending March 31, 2022, the Company will return to shareholders targeting a total return ratio of 40% or more.

For the year ended March 31, 2020, the year-end dividend is 10 yen per share, and the full year dividend will be 40 yen per share, including the interim dividend of 30 yen.

The full year dividend for the year ending March 31, 2021, is yet to be determined.

(6) Business and Other Risks

Following are principal matters that are considered likely to have a significant impact on decisions made by investors regarding risks involved in executing strategy, business, and other concerns of the Group.

The Group organizes and manages risks through a Risk Management Committee, which identifies and prioritizes potential risks to management of the Group in general, then deliberates and decides on risk response policies.

In response to the spread of COVID-19 that broke out towards the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Group established an Emergency Response Headquarters on February 25, 2020 based on the Pandemic Initial Response Manual and BCM Standards, which are part of the Group's risk management system. The initial response team of the Emergency Response Headquarters was established with the purpose of carrying out initial response to the outbreak. The team's main mission is to ensure the safety of employees and promote associated personnel and IT measures, collect information regarding the current impact on business (sales, supply chain, and others), organize the issues, and implement initial response actions. The Group has also set up a Management Policy Team whose mission is to examine a business recovery plan. While the spread of COVID-19 is severely affecting social activities on a global scale, the Management Policy Team is thoroughly organizing risks and opportunities in order for the Group to implement management measures from a medium- to long-term perspective, primarily focusing on the early recovery of business.

Matters concerning the future as stated herein are based on the Group's estimations as of March 31, 2020.

1) Rapid changes in the business environment

The market for digital cameras, the leading products of the Imaging Products Business, continues to shrink overall. In response to the shrinkage of the market that was larger than expected and the intensified competition which were both seen from the middle of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Group has implemented business structure reforms, such as optimizing production and sales bases and thoroughly reducing cost, as well as various reforms to SCM, logistics, and others, to convert to a structure that can generate a certain level of profit. However, as the global spread of COVID-19 has resulted in tighter regulations in various countries, it is expected that consumer behavior will be restrained or diminished due to stay-at-home orders, suspension of business at retail stores, cancellation of events, and other measures. As a consequence, there is a possibility of the market shrinking more than expected, especially in the targeted professional and hobbyist segments, and may lead to an even more severe situation. It is difficult to make concrete predictions regarding the possibility and timing that such risks will materialize, as it greatly depends on consumer trends and social conditions.

The demand for FPD lithography systems handled by the Precision Equipment Business is expected to be stable in the display market. However, if there is over-supply as a reaction to large-scale capital investment or current curbing of consumption, demand for lithography systems may also experience a decline. In response to this, the Group is working to secure a certain level of profit in the business under such a business environment through new lithography systems and service business, in addition to reducing total costs.

-8-

Although the semiconductor market, the target market for semiconductor lithography systems, is expected to grow significantly over the medium- to long-term, demand for immersion lithography systems may drop sharply depending on the degree of the shift in the cutting-edge process development to EUVL. In response to this, the Group will work to seek new customers other than existing users and expand its service business, in accordance with the business strategy that prioritizes profitability.

Looking at the Precision Equipment Business as a whole, tighter regulations enforced by various countries in response to the global spread of COVID-19 are expected to result in the loss of trust from customers due to delay or suspension of shipments, an investment freeze due to decline in demand, as well as a sharp decline in sales. In response, the Group will further strengthen communication with customers, as well as promoting local support for installation and service personnel.

Overall, while some risks related to the spread of COVID-19 are materializing, the scale and timing of those risks are both greatly affected by social conditions. For this reason, the Emergency Response Headquarters has simulated the scale and timing of the risks on multiple recovery timelines, with each business examining and implementing countermeasures.

2) Launch of new business areas

The Group has positioned the Material Processing Business as new core pillars of profit, with the aim of establishing a foundation for growing enterprise value sustainably during the period of the medium-term management plan, and continues to actively make investments, however the business may not grow to the expected scale by the end of the medium-term management plan, which is the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.

In order to minimize the possibility of this risk materializing, the Group has given its top priority to the launch of the Material Processing Business, and is shifting its internal resources. With regard to strategic investment, various measures to expand the business are being taken, such as establishing relationships in multiple forms such as business alliances with other companies and strategic investments, without limiting to acquisitions and mergers.

3) Ability to develop new products and investment in development to maintain and enhance competitiveness Being subject to intense competition, the Group's core businesses are constantly required to develop new

products by continuing to engage in highly advanced research and development. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to invest in product development, regardless of the fluctuation in the Group's profit. Enterprise value may decline and profit may decrease if in the event of investments do not produce adequate results and new products or next-generation technology cannot be developed or introduced to the market in a timely manner, the technology developed by the Group is not accepted by the market, or if the Company's technology becomes unnecessary due to drastic changes such as game changing developments. In order to minimize the possibility of such risks materializing, based on future social and market trends, the Group's Technology Strategy Committee is exploring new areas that Nikon should focus on, formulating a technology strategy that will lead to improved competitiveness of the existing businesses, in addition to a research and development plan to realize this strategy, and also working to visualize and optimize the technology of the Group.

4) Procurement

In each business, the Group ensures stable procurement of supply such as raw materials, key components, and finished products, while maintaining close relationships with suppliers. The Group's profit and financial position may be adversely affected in the event of social turmoil due to natural disasters such as earthquakes, riots, terrorism, wars, or pandemics, quality problems, policy changes made by suppliers, procurement of supply being significantly affected by bankruptcy or business failure on the part of a specific supplier, or a steep increase in purchase price. Specifically, some delays in procurement of supply are already materializing due to the consequences of the global spread of COVID-19, such as tighter regulations on suppliers and regions, suspension of operations, and bankruptcy. It is difficult to make concrete predictions regarding the scale and timing of these risks, as it depends greatly on the social conditions in the future.

In response to this, the Group conducts multiple purchases as much as possible and assesses alternative supplier candidates. The Group also collects information regarding the procurement status of all business divisions in the event of a natural disaster or other such disruption, and promptly reports the status to management. In addition, the Group implements measures from multiple perspectives, such as considering the availability of alternative supply and alternative measures such as design changes.

5) Outflow of human resources and information

The Group is supported by its employees, who possess advanced technical expertise and other abilities, and securing such human resources is becoming increasingly more crucial in order to overcome intense competition in the market. There is a possibility that such key personnel will resign, resulting in an outflow of their expertise and know-how. In order to minimize the effect of such outflow of expertise and know- how, the Group has established a specific study curriculum and is promoting to standardize, share and hand on proprietary technologies and skills within the company.

The Group also retains crucial information such as technical information, corporate information

-9-

concerning business partners, and personal information of its customers and other persons concerned. In order to prevent the risk of information leakage from materializing, the Group is taking measures such as enhancing its internal regulations regarding the handling of information and educating its employees, while thoroughly controlling external access to such information and improving the level of storage security.

1. Scope of Equity Method
   Number of investments accounted for using the equity method: 16 companies
   Principal company names: Nikon-Essilor Co., Ltd., Nikon-Trimble Co., Ltd. and others
2. Accounting Policies

The disclosure of the accounting policies has been omitted as there are no significant changes from the previous Annual Securities Report (submitted on June 27, 2019) aside from IFRS 16 "Leases."

(Changes in Accounting Policies)

The Group adopted IFRS 16 "Leases" (hereinafter, "IFRS 16") from the year ended March 31, 2020.

		Summaries of new standards and amendments
IFRS 16	Leases	Accounting and relevant disclosure requirements
for leases

In transitioning to IFRS 16, the Group chose the practical expedient detailed in IFRS 16 paragraph C3 and grandfathered its assessments of whether contracts are lease contracts or contracts that contain leases based on IAS 17 "Leases" (hereinafter, "IAS 17") and IFRIC 4 "Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease." For contracts with lease commencement dates after the date of application, assessments have been based on IFRS 16.

For leases that were previously classified as finance leases under IAS 17 and in which the Group was the lessee, the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the date of initial application of IFRS 16 were the carrying amounts of lease assets and lease liabilities based on IAS 17 as of March 31, 2019.

For leases that were previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17 and in which the Group was the lessee, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recognized at the date of initial application in accordance with IFRS 16 paragraph C8. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The weighted average of the lessee's incremental borrowing rate was 0.9%. Right-of-use assets were initially measured at the initial measurement amount of the lease liability and were adjusted for factors such as prepaid lease payments. In addition, the Group applied the following practical expedients in the application of IFRS 16.

・As an alternative to performing an impairment review, the Group relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous in accordance with IAS 37 "Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" immediately before the date of initial application.

・Leases with lease terms that will end within 12 months of the date of initial application were accounted for in the same way as short-term leases.

・Initial direct costs were excluded from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

-20-

Upon the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group retrospectively recognized the cumulative effect of initial application as a transitional measure in accordance with IFRS 16 paragraph C5 (b), which was recognized at the date of initial application (April 1, 2019). The following table is a reconciliation of non-cancellable operating lease contracts under IAS 17 as of March 31, 2019 and lease liabilities recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at the date of initial application.

(Additional Information)

1. Accounting Estimates that take into consideration the impact of the spread of COVID-19

The Group's consolidated financial results for the year ended March 31, 2020 were affected by the consequences of the spread of COVID-19, such as the decline in demand and delays in parts supply in the Imaging Products Business, in addition to the delay in installations of FPD lithography system in the Precision Equipment Business. The impact of the business environment due to the spread of COVID-19 is also expected to affect the Group's consolidated financial results for the succeeding fiscal years.

Under these circumstances, future plans and assumptions that are used for accounting estimates for the year ended March 31, 2020 take into consideration factors such as the economy, market, and consumption trends, in addition to the changes in demand and supply in the industries each business of the Group belongs to. Although it is uncertain when the spread of COVID-19 will come to an end, the accounting estimates are based on the assumption that economic activity will recover from the latter half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

The group has estimated future cash flow and future profit based on the above future plans and assumptions, and has determined the impairment of non-financial assets and the collectability of deferred tax assets. As a result, for the year ended March 31, 2020, impairment losses related to property, plant and equipment, right-of- use assets, intangible assets, goodwill and other non-current assets are recognized. For more information about the recognized segments and impacts of the loss, please refer to "Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss, (c) Impairment Losses."

Impairment losses of non-financial assets

The Group determines the impairment of assets by cash-generating units based on the business segments, in which the assets are grouped by the minimum unit that generate largely independent cash inflows. In regard to idle assets, the future prospects or sales expectations are considered when determining impairment by cash-generating units, in which the assets are grouped by the individual asset or multiple assets. As a result of impairment determination, if the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the reduction is recognized as impairment loss. The measurement of the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is by the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The impairment losses are recognized in "Other expenses."

[For the year ended March 31, 2019 (From April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019)]

Therefore, impairment losses of 6,621 million yen are recognized.

The impairment losses of 3,076 million yen are allocated to goodwill, which are related to the Company's consolidated subsidiary, Nikon Metrology NV, and impairment losses of 559 million yen are allocated to non-current assets other than goodwill. In addition, impairment losses of 181 million yen are recognized in businesses other than the Industrial Metrology Business in the Industrial Metrology and Others.

(Contingent Liabilities)

(Litigation)

The Company and its group companies are exposed throughout their business activities to the possibility of being involved in a contentious case, becoming a defendant in a lawsuit, and being the object of inquiries by government agencies, in Japan and overseas. The Company and its group companies examine the possibility of recognizing a provision for the obligation arising from a contentious case or a lawsuit, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The Company's subsidiary in India (hereinafter referred as "Subsidiary in India") was inquired by the Indian Tax Authority regarding the import of the Company's digital cameras, and in October 2016, the imposition was confirmed in relation to the customs duty, interest, and penalty concerning those products. In January 2017, the Subsidiary in India appealed to the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal; however, the appeal was dismissed in December 2017. To object to this decision, in January 2018, the Subsidiary in India filed an appeal to the Supreme Court of India, which was admitted in March 2018 for the final hearing and decision. As it is currently unable to forecast the final decision, the provision is not recognized in accordance with the aforementioned accounting policy.

In regard to any other cases, no significant impact on the Company's consolidated performance and financial position is expected at this point in time.
