We make every effort to raise corporate value and openly disclose information.
Business results and profits
Sales for the fiscal year under review increased to 840.7 billion yen (up 4.1% from the previous fiscal year) due to the effects of new models in Japan, expanded sales in the Americas, and increased production by major customers in Asia. In terms of profits, despite a loss related to antitrust law in the second quarter, operating profit was 36.5 billion yen (up 3.8% from the previous year) due to the effects of increased sales mainly from new models in Japan and rationalization efforts. Profit attributable to owners increased 23.3 billion yen (up 9.1% year on year). As a result, the annual dividend per share was set at 60 yen.
The exchange rate was USD1 = JPY111 for the previous fiscal year, and USD1 = JPY111 for the current fiscal year.

Communication with shareholders and investors
For constructive dialogue with shareholders and investors, we have established a system for conducting such dialogue in a coordinated manner, planning opportunities and sharing necessary information.
This dialogue is carried out through financial results briefings or small meetings for institutional investors with explanations by the Company’s president or relevant officer; plant tours for institutional investors with explanations by the officer in charge; direct visits by the officer and persons in charge of IR to institutional investors; and other means. Based on the opinions and desires of shareholders and investors obtained, further opportunities for dialogue are being enhanced.
In compliance with fair disclosure rules, Toyoda Gosei restricts dialogue with shareholders and investors and thoroughly controls information in the Company during a silent period before earnings reports are released. If insider information emerges in the Company, it is tightly controlled as part of thorough information management.

First plant tour for analysts and institutional investors
In 2016, Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. held its first plant tour for 25 securities company analysts who regularly gather information on our company and institutional investors who possess and manage Toyoda Gosei shares. To provide a better understanding of our technical abilities and future potential, we took participants on a tour of our Inazawa Plant to see the latest plating and painting processes for interior and exterior products and our efforts to make compact, automated production lines.
