Brother Industries Business Segment Statistics
The FY2024 segment presentation uses units of ¥100 million in its source tables; the figures below are expressed in billions of yen for readability. Segment profit is a company-defined measure, and segment reorganizations mean old and new presentations should not be mixed without labeling.

|---|---|---|---|
| Printing & Solutions | ¥544.8 billion | ¥61.0 billion | ¥58.9 billion |

Brother Industries Sustainability and Emissions Data
Sustainability figures use the sites and boundaries described in Brother’s sustainability reporting, which are not automatically identical to the consolidated financial boundary. Greenhouse-gas emissions declined in the reported series from FY2021 through FY2024.
| Fiscal year | Greenhouse-gas emissions |
|---|---|
| FY2021 | 94 thousand tonnes CO2e |
| FY2022 | 85 thousand tonnes CO2e |

At applicable Brother Group sites, wastewater volume was 502 thousand cubic metres in FY2024, compared with 444 thousand cubic metres in FY2023. Of the FY2024 volume, 16.4 thousand cubic metres were recycled; this is a reported volume, not a calculated recycling rate.
At Brother Group design, development and manufacturing sites, reported waste was 12 thousand tonnes in FY2024, of which 11 thousand tonnes were recycled. In FY2023, the same reported site-waste series was 11 thousand tonnes, including 10 thousand tonnes recycled; these figures do not represent all group waste streams.

Brother Industries Workforce, Governance and Long-Term Targets
Brother’s Global Charter was available in 29 languages in FY2024. This measures company-reported availability, not readership.
- Top management held about 4,500 employee dialogues in FY2024 across the Brother Group, compared with about 4,600 in FY2023.
- The three-year CS B2027 plan targets approximately ¥200 billion of growth investment; this is a forward-looking plan, not realized spending.
- Of that planned investment, ¥150 billion is allocated to strategic investments such as mergers and acquisitions and alliances.
- The plan allocates ¥50 billion to investments strengthening the management foundation.
- Brother’s stated shareholder policy targets a consolidated dividend payout ratio of around 40%.
- The three-year shareholder-return plan includes ¥60 billion of planned own-share repurchases.
- The policy states a minimum dividend level of ¥100 per share per year.
The investment, dividend and buyback figures are targets or plans whose execution depends on business conditions. They are therefore not observed historical outcomes and should be read separately from FY2024 financial results.
