June 2023

Thank you very much for your continued support of Nippon Television Holdings, Inc.
Nippon Television Network Corporation (Nippon TV), the core company of our group, will celebrate its 70th anniversary on August 28, 2023. It enjoys tremendous support in linear broadcasting and captured the annual individual viewer ratings Triple Crown title in 2022 for the 12th consecutive year.
In the Medium-Term Management Plan 2022-2024, we presented our slogan “More than just TV: Moving beyond borders” to reflect our endeavor to maximize the value of content not only in linear broadcasting, but also in online streaming and overseas expansions. In June 2023, we underwent a significant organizational restructuring to accelerate reforms. Under the new framework, we will strengthen group strategies and digital transformation. Moreover, we established a new department, Ad Optimization, in the Sales Division to maximize advertising value.
With regards to the 70th Anniversary Project, three teams, namely Brand Strategy, Better Experience, and Co-Creation Process, are working to ensure that Nippon TV blossoms in the next decade. “We will aim for the next pinnacle—and beyond.” That is our 70th anniversary catchphrase, which illustrates our desire to break out of past boundaries by overcoming various borders.
In April 2023, “My Neighbour Totoro,” a theatrical show co-produced by Nippon TV and the Royal Shakespeare Company, won six Laurence Olivier Awards, the most prestigious awards in the British theater world. This is truly a great example of visual content becoming a real stage event and achieving success beyond national borders.
One of the priority targets of Nippon Television Holdings, Inc. is to accelerate new business creation, which includes making strategic investments and M&A to enhance corporate value. In May 2023, fashion e-commerce website la belle vie Inc. joined the group, enabling us to expand our informercial and retail businesses. We will also focus on enriching people's lives through our TIPNESS fitness gyms and other health-related businesses, including the development of a wellness economic zone, as we strive to be at the forefront of inspiration and reliability.

We are grateful for your continued guidance and encouragement.
