• MTP overview: MTP targets for FY2030 include a non-GAAP operating

margin of 15% or higher (FY2026 guidance 12%), non-GAAP operating profit

growth of 2x (vs FY2025), and non-GAAP EPS CAGR of 15% or higher. The

target for non-GAAP operating profit growth suggests that NEC is targeting

around ¥800 billion based on FY2026 guidance for ¥420 billion. NEC targets

IT services sales CAGR at 3–5% and non-GAAP operating margin at around

20% (FY2025 13.4%), and social infrastructure sales CAGR at 3-5% and non-

GAAP operating margin in the high-10% range (FY2025 8.9%).
