The official company outline gives paid-in capital of JPY 53,204mn, consolidated employees of 74,619, and revenue of JPY 1,413.3bn for the fiscal year ended 2026-03-31.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] FY2026 financial results show revenue JPY 1,413,251mn, business profit JPY 83,788mn, total assets JPY 1,534,870mn, equity attributable to owners of the parent JPY 853,503mn, and cash / cash equivalents at period-end JPY 288,582mn.^[source:epson-fy2026-results-2026] For FinWiki, Epson is not a regulated finance company; it is a **manufacturer anchor** that connects regional-bank lending, global supply-chain finance, treasury / liquidity, corporate bonds, FX and shareholder-return decisions. ## 1. Company / operating-segment boundary | Item | Reading | |---|---| | Legal name | Seiko Epson Corporation / セイコーエプソン株式会社。^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | | Founded / head office | Founded 1942-05-18; head office 3-3-5 Owa, Suwa, Nagano.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | | CEO | President and Representative Director, CEO Junkichi Yoshida.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | | Scale | Revenue JPY 1,413.3bn; consolidated employees 74,619 as of FY2026 company outline.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | | Group footprint | 88 group companies including parent, Japan 19 and overseas 69, as of 2026-03-31.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | Official company outline organizes Epson into four business lines. This page uses that official segmentation rather than treating Epson only as a printer company. | Business line | Main products / finance angle | |---|---| | Precision Innovation | Inkjet solutions, microdevices, Epson Atmix, printheads, crystal devices, semiconductors and fine metal powders; links to capex / component cycles.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | | Industrial & Robotics | Commercial / industrial inkjet printers, POS printers, PaperLab, dot-matrix printers, Fiery, industrial robots; links to factory automation and vendor-finance demand.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | | Office & Home Printing | Office / home inkjet printers, compact label printers, consumables and scanners; recurring consumables economics and channel inventory are key finance readings.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | | Visual & Lifestyle | Projectors, watches, watch movements and PCs; links to consumer electronics, capex and working-capital cycles.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | ## 2. Treasury / balance-sheet anchor Epson belongs in manufacturer-finance because large manufacturers create repeated financial-system touchpoints even without a captive finance company: - **Liquidity**: FY2026 cash and cash equivalents at end of period were JPY 288,582mn.^[source:epson-fy2026-results-2026] - **Operating cash generation**: FY2026 net cash provided by operating activities was JPY 112,372mn.^[source:epson-fy2026-results-2026][source:epson-cashflow-2026] - **Investing cycle**: FY2026 investing cash flow was negative JPY 65,561mn, including purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; this is where equipment finance, capex timing and supplier financing matter.^[source:epson-cashflow-2026] - **Financing cycle**: FY2026 financing cash flow was negative JPY 39,604mn; the cash-flow table includes current borrowings, non-current borrowings, bond redemption, lease obligations and dividends.^[source:epson-cashflow-2026] - **Shareholder return**: Epson says it intends to reward shareholders by agilely purchasing treasury shares as warranted by share price and capital situation.^[source:epson-shareholder-returns-2026] ## 3. Why it matters for finance pages | Use case | Why Epson is an anchor | |---|---| | Regional-bank exposure | A Nagano-headquartered global manufacturer is a natural reference point for [[regional-banks/hachijuni-bank|hachijuni-bank]] and regional industrial clusters. | | Supply-chain finance | Printer, semiconductor-device, robotics and projector supply chains produce receivables, inventory, FX and supplier-payment exposures. | | Manufacturer treasury | Cash, borrowings, bonds, lease obligations and shareholder returns create capital-market and banking touchpoints. | | Capex / leasing | Industrial robotics, commercial printing and production equipment connect to leasing and equipment-finance pages, even if Epson is not itself a lessor. | | FX / global footprint | Overseas group-company count and global revenue base make FX and trade-finance analysis relevant.^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] | Sources: ^[source:epson-company-outline-2026] ^[source:epson-fy2026-results-2026] ^[source:epson-cashflow-2026] ## 4. Risk / policy map - **Disclosure / listing**: As a listed company, Epson reports under securities-disclosure and corporate-governance regimes, not insurance or banking supervision. - **Manufacturing cycle**: Revenue and business profit depend on printing, robotics, visual products and precision-device demand; this differs from regulated financial intermediation. - **Capital allocation**: Dividends, treasury shares, bond redemptions and borrowings make Epson useful when analyzing corporate treasury behavior in Japan. - **Environmental / industrial policy**: Energy efficiency, resource circulation and manufacturing-location decisions can influence regional lending and capex finance. ## Related - [[regional-banks/hachijuni-bank|hachijuni-bank]] - [[manufacturer-finance/toyota-motor|toyota-motor]] - [[leasing-firms/INDEX|leasing-firms INDEX]] - [[manufacturer-finance/INDEX|manufacturing INDEX]] · [[INDEX|FinWiki index]] ## Sources - **Seiko Epson**: Company Outline https://corporate.epson/en/about/info.html - **Seiko Epson**: Financial Results for the Year ended March 31, 2026 [IFRS] (2026-05-01) https://corporate.epson/en/news/2026/260501.html - **Seiko Epson**: Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows https://corporate.epson/en/investors/finance/cash-flow.html - **Seiko Epson**: Shareholder Returns https://corporate.epson/en/investors/information/stock-dividends.html --- > [!info] 校正ステータス > confidence: **likely**（2026-06-24）。公式 Company Outline、FY2026 financial results、cash-flow page、shareholder-return policyで基本属性、事業ライン、treasury / balance-sheet anchor factsを確認。
