Dialogue with shareholders and investors
We strive to give our shareholders and investors a greater understanding of the SCREEN Group by communicating about our management, business, and financial position in a clear, accurate, and timely manner. Feedback from shareholders and investors is shared with management, including the Board of Directors, as appropriate to help maximize corporate value.
Disclosure
Disclosure Policy
Based on the principle of “Appropriate Disclosure of Company Information” set forth in the SCREEN Group CSR Charter and Code of Conduct, we have established the Information Disclosure Policy. The policy is aimed at helping shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders better understand the SCREEN Group and serves as a foundation for efforts to ensure that disclosure is transparent, fair, ongoing, timely, and appropriate.
Aiming to promote constructive engagement with shareholders and investors, the SCREEN Group properly discloses information likely to be of use in furthering their understanding of the Group, including information not required by such laws and regulations as the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act or by the Timely Disclosure Rules of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).
Opportunities for dialogue through IR activities
We strive to give our shareholders and investors a greater understanding of the SCREEN Group by communicating about our management, business, and financial position in a clear, accurate, and timely manner through IR activities. Feedback from shareholders and investors is shared with management, including the Board of Directors, as appropriate to help enhance corporate value. After earnings announcements, the CEO, CFO, executive officer in charge of corporate communications, IR manager, and other members of management hold IR meetings and conferences. We also hold dialogues with the voting representatives of institutional investors on ESG-related themes.
In the interest of fair disclosure, we post videos of earnings presentations on our website and use a service that publishes transcripts in English and Japanese as part of ongoing efforts to broaden the range of our disclosure materials and enhance timeliness. Moreover, we send questionnaires to institutional investors and analysts once a year to analyze areas for improvement in the quality of our IR activities.
To enable more shareholders to take part in the ordinary general meeting of shareholders, we provide an online live stream of the meeting and the management briefing held the same day.
Going forward, we will continue working to build good relations with our investors through IR activities, focusing on maintaining an appropriate share price and balanced shareholder portfolio.

Highlight
Site tour for non-institutional shareholders with President Hiroe
On March 11, 2025, the Hikone Site hosted SCREEN’s first site tour for non-institutional shareholders in six years. A total of 34 shareholders, selected at random from more than 600 applicants, took part.
The first half of the event featured a presentation on initiatives to improve productivity in the SPE business, followed by a tour of two factory buildings: S3-3, which produces mainstay products in the cleaning equipment lineup, and S3-5, completed in 2024, which sorts parts and assembles units. Watching through observation windows, the participants got to see the whole process from part sorting to equipment assembly being performed in a cleanroom environment. At S3-6, the new factory completed in February 2025, the shareholders learned about the hydrogen-related business and got to see actual equipment through observation windows and ask questions.
In the second half of the tour, president (now chairman) Toshio Hiroe gave a presentation on the Group’s businesses and strategy going forward. He also took a wide range of questions from the shareholders, who seemed pleased to receive clear and detailed answers directly from the president.
We will continue working to expand opportunities for dialogue with shareholders and investors and help them better understand the SCREEN Group.
