KOMATSU REPORT 2016

 To All Our Stakeholders

To All Our Stakeholders

TO ALL OUR STAKEHOLDERS

Kunio Noji, Chairman of the Board (left) and Tetsuji Ohashi, President (right)

For Fiscal 2015 (April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016), consolidated net sales declined by 6.3% from the previous fiscal

year, to JPY1,854.9 billion, and operating income by 13.8% to JPY208.5 billion, as affected by a drastic fall in demand

for mining equipment and for construction equipment in emerging countries.

As we anticipate a challenging business environment to continue, we have developed a new mid-range management

plan for the next three years from FY2016 to FY2018.

The cornerstone of our management principles is to maximize our corporate value through commitment to Quality

and Reliability. We will also ensure all employees share The KOMATSU Way. Further, we will continue to address

environmental performance, corporate social responsibility and corporate governance, as we work to improve our

business performance and move forward in developing corporate strengths while achieving social responsibility in a

well-balanced manner.

On behalf of the Board, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our shareholders and other stakeholders

for your continuing support.

(cid:41)ighlights of Business Results for FY2015

(April 1, 2015 (cid:114) March 31, 2016)

For the fiscal year under review, which was the final year of the (cid:108)Together We Innovate GEMBA Worldwide(cid:122) mid-range

management plan, consolidated net sales totaled JPY1,854.9 billion, and operating income, JPY208.5 billion. Operating

income ratio was 11.2%. Net income attributable to Komatsu Ltd. amounted to JPY13(cid:24).4 billion.

(cid:60)Construction, Mining (cid:7) Utility Equipment(cid:62)

Sales of the construction, mining and utility equipment business amounted to JPY 1,641.0 billion, down 6.9% from the

previous fiscal year. Segment profit declined by 19.0% to JPY 184.1 billion.

While continuing to face a challenging business environment, characterized by a drastic drop in demand for mining

equipment and sluggish demand for construction equipment in emerging countries, Komatsu promoted

SMARTCONSTRUCTION, a solutions business designed to realize (cid:108)construction jobsites of the future(cid:122), mainly in Japan.

With respect to intelligent Machine Control construction equipment, Komatsu launched it in Australia, following Japan,

North America and Europe. Komatsu also broadened its model range during the year. As for products designed to

comply with new emission standards, Komatsu has developed a total of 33 models and worked to expand their sales.

In the after-market business, Komatsu steadfastly captured demand, thereby achieving the record-high sales of spare

parts for the year under review, renewing the previous record-high figure a year ago.

To reinforce operations in Asia, Komatsu opened a new assembly plant for hydraulic excavators in India and a new

base for the remanufacturing of components and production of generators in Myanmar. In Mexico, an important market

for its business, Komatsu acquired a local distributor in order to handle both construction and mining equipment

businesses.

(cid:60)Industrial Machinery (cid:7) Others(cid:62)

Sales decreased by 0.6% from FY2014, to JPY220.1 billion, and operating profit declined by 19.2%, to JPY19.3 billion.

While GIGAP(cid:41)OTON INC. expanded sales, supported by stable machine utilization of the semiconductor industry, sales

of presses declined.

Under such an environment, Komatsu restructured its industrial machinery operations by consolidating the machine

tools unit in the Toyama area and the sheet-metal and presses machines unit in the Ishikawa area.

During the year, GIGAP(cid:41)OTON also developed and commercialized the leading-edge Excimer laser cutting machine

model, designed to dynamically reduce the consumption of electric power and neon gas, and worked to expand sales

prices. In particular, demand for mining equipment

nose-dived to about 30% of the FY2012 level.

Against this backdrop, we accelerated the speed of

implementing structural reforms, such as cutting down

production costs and curbing fixed costs, as we

diligently carried out seeding for future growth, one of

the core strategies of the mid-range management

plan.

Management Tasks Ahead

When we assess our business environment today, we

must first think about demand for construction and

mining equipment as well as industrial machinery. We

project that demand for construction and mining

equipment, in particular, from which we generate 90%

of total sales, will remain very challenging in FY2016

and beyond, for some time. (cid:108)Against this backdrop,

how are we going to ensure growth(cid:32)(cid:122) This is the first

task we must address.

We believe the key to our growth, after all, lies in

solutions to the problems of GEMBA (workplaces).

Tasks that customers face in their GEMBA differ

depending on countries, regions or industries.

(cid:41)owever, we believe the following represents the major

tasks of our customers, i.e., 1) to meet the shortage of

skilled workers, 2) use of IoT (Internet of Things), 3) to

improve the safety, productivity and environmental

performance of their jobsite operations, and 4) to

reduce the total cost of ownership of their machines.

Today we are also witnessing growing social

expectations in relation to ESG (Environmental, Social

and Governance) from companies.

We need to keep our full attention on these

management tasks as we continue to conduct our

business into the future.

(2 minutes and 46 seconds)

Please refer to Online Komatsu Report.

We project that demand for construction and mining equipment will remain in an adjustment phase for

the time being, centering on emerging countries. In the long range, however, global population will grow

and the urbanization rate will increase, especially in emerging countries, which will fuel more civil

engineering and construction works and increase the required volume of minerals. Therefore, we

believe we can expect a sustainable growth of demand for construction and mining equipment.

In the industrial machinery business, we anticipate that capital investment will increase in the

automobile and semiconductor industries. Accordingly, demand should remain steady for a few years,

albeit with some ups and downs.

Based on these assumptions, we embarked on the new (cid:108)Together We Innovate GEMBA Worldwide:

Growth Toward Our 100th Anniversary (2021) and Beyond(cid:122) mid-range management plan in April 2016.

As we look into our 100th anniversary in 2021, we are working to maintain our sustainable growth

beyond 2021 at a rate above the industry's average.

Outline of the New Mid-range Management Plan

(3 minutes and 23 seconds)

Targets

Targets of the new mid-range management plan are

described in the chart on the right.

In addition to profitability, e(cid:9359)ciency, profit redistribution

to shareholders and financial position, we have included a

new key performance indicator.

We have also separated the retail finance business as a

new operating segment in order to enhance management

transparency in the new plan.

Please see the linked sheet for our projection of

consolidated business results for FY2016, the first year of

the new plan.

Cash Dividend

In the last three years, we reduced our debt of all

operations, except for the retail finance business, as

planned. Concerning the future use of funds, we will

further consider the redistribution of profits to

shareholders, including stock buybacks, while keeping

investment for growth at the center. Specifically, we have

set the policy of a consolidated payout ratio of 40% or

higher with no decrease of dividends, as long as the

consolidated payout ratio does not surpass 60%.

For FY2016, we are planning annual dividends of JPY58

per share, the same amount as FY2015. As a result, the

consolidated payout ratio should amount to 59.4%.

Strategies

We defined three core strategies of (cid:108)growth based on

innovation(cid:122), (cid:108)growth of existing businesses(cid:122) and (cid:108)Structural

reforms designed to reinforce our business foundation(cid:122)

and promoted corresponding efforts in the previous mid-

range management plan. In the new mid-range

management plan, we continue to focus on three core

strategies of the previous plan. We will strive to accelerate

growth by working to sow the seeds for future growth and

taking further advantage of our group-wide strength of

IoT, even while demand for construction and mining

equipment remain sluggish.

Through our IoT, we will connect all GEMBA (workplaces),

consisting of our customers, distributors and production,

including suppliers, in order to improve the safety and

productivity of all GEMBA, thereby working to become

ever more indispensable to our customers.

ESG (Sustainability)

(2 minutes and 53 seconds)

Reinforcement of ESG Efforts

Over the years, the Komatsu Group has made proactive ESG efforts, namely

environmental, social and corporate governance. We believe the importance of ESG

efforts will steadily become stronger into the future. In our new mid-range management

plan, we will maintain focused efforts as we place emphasis on the environment, on

society and on corporate governance.

Environmental Conservation Efforts

The reduction of CO  emissions is our

important task for environmental

conservation. Construction equipment in

operation accounts for about 90% of the total

amount of CO  emissions produced

throughout its lifecycle (chart on the right).

We will help our customers reduce CO

emissions from their machines by considering

environmental performance and applying ICT

to improve fuel consumption, when we

develop new products.

Corporate Social Responsibility Efforts

We at the Komatsu Group have set our basic principle to

make CSR efforts through core businesses. Based on this

principle, we would like to engage in social contribution

activities that make the best use of our strengths to fulfill

our responsibilities to society.

As part of our CSR efforts, under the leadership of

different Komatsu Group companies around the world, we

engage in support activities to solve local problems.

For example, in Japan we provide support to Japan's

agriculture business, which is facing serious problems of

aging and no newcomers, by capitalizing on our

manufacturing expertise.

We will continue to pay close attention to the needs of

young people.

local communities around the world in order to deeply

anchor the social contribution activities of Komatsu Group

companies.

Corporate Governance, Compliance and Risk Management

Komatsu maintains the basic management policy of commitment to Quality and Reliability to maximize

its corporate value. Komatsu believes that its corporate value is the total sum of trust given to it by

society and all its stakeholders.

To increase the total sum of trust, Komatsu needs to not only improve business results but also

enhance the soundness and transparency of management.

Corporate Governance

We, at Komatsu, believe our corporate value is the total sum of trust given to us by

society and all stakeholders. To become a company which enjoys even more trust from

shareholders and all other stakeholders, we are working to strengthen corporate

governance, improve management e(cid:9359)ciency, advocate corporate ethics and ensure

sound management on a group-wide basis.

In April 2016, we appointed top management o(cid:9359)cers of Komatsu Group's overseas

subsidiaries to the posts of Global O(cid:9359)cers in order to strengthen globally consolidated

management. To further improve the transparency of management for our shareholders

and investors, we disclose information in a fair and timely manner and actively engage in

investor relations' activities by holding meetings with shareholders and investors.

Compliance

As the importance of corporate social responsibility is growing today, it is indispensable

for all companies to respond to social trust by ensuring that each and every employee

not only fully understands corporate responsibility but also complies with the Rule of the

Business Community, not limited to laws and regulations in a narrow sense.

In addition, the Komatsu Group is strongly conscious of its slogan of SLQDC, i.e., Safety

and Law take priority over Quality, Delivery and Cost, as it works to ensure compliance.

information

Risk Management

We define all states of uncertainty, which can threaten the sustainable growth of the

Komatsu Group. We recognize the problems related to compliance as major risks, in

particular, the environment, product quality, accidents, information security and other

matters, and we are thus implementing corresponding countermeasures.

STRUCTURAL REFORMS DESIGNED TO REINFORCE THE BUSINESS FOUNDATION

 Structural Reforms Designed to Reinforce the Business Foundation

By defining structural reforms as a means to reinforce our business foundation, we have continuously worked to curb

production costs and sustain fixed costs at appropriate levels. We consider these efforts our never-ending task.

While we need to invest for growth as needed, we also need to unfailingly cut down production costs at the same

time. This is what we mean by separation of costs from growth. To this end, we are striving to maintain our fixed costs

at appropriate levels.

In the structural reforms designed to reinforce our business foundation, we have not only carried out necessary

reforms even when demand remained sluggish, but also made continuous efforts to improve costs in the last few years.

at appropriate levels.

In the structural reforms designed to reinforce our business foundation, we have not only carried out necessary

reforms even when demand remained sluggish, but also made continuous efforts to improve costs in the last few years.

We reduced fixed costs by JPY12.5 billion in three years from FY2013 to FY2015 by absorbing an increase of the basic

salaries and including the effects of structural reforms. In FY2015 alone, we cut down fixed costs as planned and made

an addition reduction, achieving a reduction of JPY11.9 billion from FY2014.

Concerning development, we should be able to lower costs by adopting new measurement and simulation

technologies. All in all, we are concerting efforts to make our development lean and powerful. With respect to

production as well, we are accelerating the speed of connecting our production jobsites, networking not only

manufacturing plants of the Komatsu Group worldwide, but also our suppliers, in order to promote production reforms.

We are also stepping up our efforts to link our plants directly to marketplace, end-customers and distributors in order

to accelerate the speed of delivering our products and parts and further enhance the level of our inventories.

Developing human resources through new technologies

Mr. Kondo, Junior Managing Director

Please refer to Online Komatsu Report.

[Interview (45 seconds)]
Summary
Rather than construction equipment itself, 
a system like KomConnect is important to 
incite innovation of construction jobsite 
operations. That’s why we would like to 
make joint efforts with Komatsu to im-
prove jobsite operations in order to create 
a bright future of the construction indus-
try. This is what I always feel about our 
work, and with this feeling we have done 
business with Komatsu over the years.

Summary
With Komatsu and Komatsu Rental, I have been exchanging a wide range 
of opinions concerning KomConnect as well. I have often mentioned 
something like, if we could do such and such, it would be great for us. 
Our opinions are solely based on our perspective as a contractor, so I ful-
ly understand all of them will be adopted. However, if some of them can 
improve our jobsite operations, I would like to ask Komatsu to proactive-
ly consider them and respond more quickly.

Summary
Civil engineering has recently been referred to as 3Ds, that is, dirty, dangerous 
Mr. (cid:41)irogami, Deputy General Manager
and demanding. About being demanding, thanks to Machine Control models, 
our work has become a lot less demanding. With respect to being dangerous, 
Mr. (cid:41)irogami, Deputy General Manager
our work has also become safer, because the number of support workers has 
declined. About being dirty, the most representative case may be the removing 
of dirt stuck in the undercarriage. If this work is improved, we may be able to 
change the image of civil engineering.

Accumulating experiences in mining jobsites

Fauzi joined PT. United Tractors Tbk, our Indonesian distributor, in 2000. (cid:41)e worked as a trainer of service mechanics,

specializing in the PC3000, and later as a service supervisor, focusing on the full-maintenance service contracts. In

November 2009, he joined Komatsu and began his service as resident technical advisor at a mine of Semirara Mining

Corporation in the Philippines.

(cid:108)Product support is our business to ensure customer satisfaction, and the availability of both equipment and parts

determines the level of customer satisfaction. In other words, it's determined by our ability to provide necessary parts

whenever needed,(cid:122) says Fauzi.

Getting deeply involved with the customer

Working with his colleague from Japan, he is responsible for preventing mechanical problems of machines and

maximizing their utilization rate. (cid:41)is specific duties are extensive, including support for maintenance of machines,

training of mechanics of both Maxima Machineries, our distributor, and the customer, trouble shooting by analyzing the

operating conditions of machines based on KOMTRA(cid:57) Plus data, and supporting Maxima's planning of parts

replacement and inspection.

There are several meetings every Saturday for excavators and twice a month for support machines, where the

customer, Maxima and Komatsu discuss all issues related to mining operations. (cid:41)e explains, (cid:108)In the meetings, everything

is shared. For example, we report client's operator performance in terms of fuel consumption of dump trucks. We also

offer recommendations based on our analyses. The customer's trial use of our Dual Bushing Track is a good example to

extend the life of tracks. We analyze the data, make proposals and develop plans for the next steps together.(cid:122)

(cid:108)Strengthening Reman operation (cid:82)ualitatively and

(cid:82)uantitatively(cid:122)

Rudi Kurnianto
President Director
PT Komatsu Reman Indonesia (KRI)

Expanding Reman operation

(cid:108)I am convinced that Komatsu's strength lies in KAI(cid:59)EN based on quality control with implementation of the PDCA

Cycle,(cid:122) says Kurnianto. (cid:41)e joined PT Komatsu Indonesia, our first joint-venture manufacturer in Asia, in 1991. With

twenty-two years of experience and expertise in Komatsu-style manufacturing, he was transferred to KRI as Marketing

Director in 2013.

Reman stands for remanufacturing. It remanufactures used components, such as engines and hydraulic equipment,

through a variety of processes to the level of quality comparable to new components. Reman components are used for

periodic replacement. While their quality and performance are guaranteed on par with those of new components, their

prices are lower than those of new ones, and Reman contributes to savings of resources through reuse and recycling.

KRI supplies Reman components worldwide within the Komatsu Group.

Introducing quality control activities

(cid:108)KRI was established in 200(cid:24), the youngest of Komatsu Group

companies in Indonesia. When he was transferred to KRI, he found

an urgent need to anchor quality control methods in the company,(cid:122)

recalls Kurnianto. (cid:41)e and (cid:41)iroki Nakamura, a Japanese expat from

KRI's Mother Plant (Oyama Plant), embarked on company-wide QC

training to ensure all employees thoroughly understand the basics

of QC activities for improvement. They formed QC circles and held

conventions twice a year. After the basics were anchored in the

company in 2014, they launched the (cid:108)Aggressive and Proactive(cid:122)

campaign to step up their efforts in supporting distributors and

their end-customers, by directly finding their needs and promoting

KAI(cid:59)EN.

In the last few years, mining companies, which are Reman

customers, have curtailed capital investment, while keeping up

production. It appears that this trend will linger a few more years.

(cid:108)For mining customers to sustain their productivity, the importance

of Reman should further grow,(cid:122) confirms Kurnianto.

KRI is working to supply high-quality Reman products (cid:113)exibly,

according to customer needs, in order for the Komatsu Group to

enhance its position worldwide. KRI stands fully ready to

accomplish its goal.

(cid:108)Getting ready to step up production for e(cid:89)panding demand in

(cid:41)ari Krishnan J., 

Senior Manager, 

Planning (cid:7) Coordination Department, 

Komatsu India Pvt. Ltd. (KIPL)

New manufacturing plant and production transfer

With over 1(cid:24) years of experience in the automobile industry in the area of production planning control, Krishnan joined

KIPL in 2006 as the first national employee in the Planning (cid:7) Coordination Department. Since then he has been

responsible for (cid:41)ANSEI (sales and production planning) as well as cost and inventory controls. (cid:41)e was also involved in

the green field plant start-up of dump trucks, and most recently in the smooth transfer of the production of hydraulic

excavators from LTCEL, a subsidiary of Larsen (cid:7) Tourbro Limited (L(cid:7)T), to KIPL's new plant which began operation in

Chennai in May 2015.

This transfer project began in April 2013 and is scheduled to be completed in September 2016. In India, under the

partnership with L(cid:7)T, Komatsu engaged in production, sales and service of hydraulic excavators over the years. Since

April 2013, KIPL has become responsible for production and L(cid:7)T for sales and service, in order to ensure further

growth by capitalizing on each other's strengths. This transfer involves 5 models, ranging from 6-ton to 20-ton classes.

In the course of the transfer, he recalls, (cid:108)It was a challenging task to meet market demand and achieve monthly sales

and production targets, while keeping a 50-to-50 balance of the volume of production between KIPL and LTCEL.(cid:122) In the

same period, KIPL has also launched the production of the PC210-8M0 model, designed exclusively to respond to local

market needs, and has begun installation of KOMTRA(cid:57) in all excavator models.

Growing Indian economy

In response to the 20% increase of demand for hydraulic

excavators in India, Nepal and Bhutan since the second half of

2015, they worked to double their production volume within the

short period of December 2015 to February 2016 with the help of

their Mother Plant in Japan. (cid:41)e says, (cid:108)We are very excited about

the projected expansion of demand in India and we should be able

to complete the transfer before schedule. Our current top priority

is to reduce our production costs by further promoting local

contents in order to reduce the risk of foreign exchange

(cid:113)uctuations.(cid:122)

KIPL's Chennai Plant stands ready to expand the

production volume of hydraulic excavators.

Krishna Kumar, 

Manager of Marketing Department, 

KIPL

Promoting sales in the premium market sector

With a wealth of marketing experience in the construction equipment industry, Kumar joined KIPL in 2010 as Assistant

Manager of the Marketing Department.

KIPL is focused on the premium market sector of high-quality, high-performance and high-e(cid:9359)ciency hydraulic

excavators in India. Together with L(cid:7)T, they have been making a variety of sales promotion efforts. (cid:108)Caravan demo(cid:122) is

one in which they carry the machine on a trailer and travel all across India for display, and for machine demonstration in

some areas where Komatsu machine presence is low. This program is accompanied by specialists from Sales, Service

and Parts departments to ensure the accurate and attractive explanation of machine features and customer benefits.

Seeding activities

Kumar is also responsible for a diverse range of other marketing-related initiatives in India, such as 1) prediction of

demand for construction equipment, 2) coordination between the plant and distributors to ensure the smooth supply of

equipment, while keeping KIPL's inventory at an optimal level, 3) introduction of Life Cycle Cost (LCC)-based sales

promotion, 4) introduction of new models to respond to local market needs, 5) KOMTRA(cid:57) (Komatsu Machine Tracking

Summary
Our machine is good. But for the people, if the people who take 
care of the machine are not good, it would look that Komatsu is 
not good. So what we did is we satisfied the customer by training 
the customer and also Maxima for improvement.

New manufacturing plant and production transfer

With over 1(cid:24) years of experience in the automobile industry in the area of production planning control, Krishnan joined

KIPL in 2006 as the first national employee in the Planning (cid:7) Coordination Department. Since then he has been

responsible for (cid:41)ANSEI (sales and production planning) as well as cost and inventory controls. (cid:41)e was also involved in

the green field plant start-up of dump trucks, and most recently in the smooth transfer of the production of hydraulic

excavators from LTCEL, a subsidiary of Larsen (cid:7) Tourbro Limited (L(cid:7)T), to KIPL's new plant which began operation in

Chennai in May 2015.

This transfer project began in April 2013 and is scheduled to be completed in September 2016. In India, under the

partnership with L(cid:7)T, Komatsu engaged in production, sales and service of hydraulic excavators over the years. Since

April 2013, KIPL has become responsible for production and L(cid:7)T for sales and service, in order to ensure further

growth by capitalizing on each other's strengths. This transfer involves 5 models, ranging from 6-ton to 20-ton classes.

In the course of the transfer, he recalls, (cid:108)It was a challenging task to meet market demand and achieve monthly sales

and production targets, while keeping a 50-to-50 balance of the volume of production between KIPL and LTCEL.(cid:122) In the

We, at Komatsu, believe that we can achieve sustainable growth by Komatsu Group employees from around the world,

teaming up with partners, such as our distributors and suppliers and working to improve the safety and productivity of

customers' jobsite operations together with them, thereby becoming customers(cid:96) indispensable partner. We call this

customer-centered effort brand management, and are introducing it to jobsite operations.

Getting deeply involved with the customer

Working with his colleague from Japan, he is responsible for preventing mechanical problems of machines and

maximizing their utilization rate. (cid:41)is specific duties are extensive, including support for maintenance of machines,

training of mechanics of both Maxima Machineries, our distributor, and the customer, trouble shooting by analyzing the

operating conditions of machines based on KOMTRA(cid:57) Plus data, and supporting Maxima's planning of parts

replacement and inspection.

There are several meetings every Saturday for excavators and twice a month for support machines, where the

customer, Maxima and Komatsu discuss all issues related to mining operations. (cid:41)e explains, (cid:108)In the meetings, everything

is shared. For example, we report client's operator performance in terms of fuel consumption of dump trucks. We also

offer recommendations based on our analyses. The customer's trial use of our Dual Bushing Track is a good example to

extend the life of tracks. We analyze the data, make proposals and develop plans for the next steps together.(cid:122)

Rudi Kurnianto

President Director

PT Komatsu Reman Indonesia (KRI)

Expanding Reman operation

(cid:108)I am convinced that Komatsu's strength lies in KAI(cid:59)EN based on quality control with implementation of the PDCA

Cycle,(cid:122) says Kurnianto. (cid:41)e joined PT Komatsu Indonesia, our first joint-venture manufacturer in Asia, in 1991. With

twenty-two years of experience and expertise in Komatsu-style manufacturing, he was transferred to KRI as Marketing

Director in 2013.

Reman stands for remanufacturing. It remanufactures used components, such as engines and hydraulic equipment,

through a variety of processes to the level of quality comparable to new components. Reman components are used for

periodic replacement. While their quality and performance are guaranteed on par with those of new components, their

prices are lower than those of new ones, and Reman contributes to savings of resources through reuse and recycling.

KRI supplies Reman components worldwide within the Komatsu Group.

Introducing quality control activities

(cid:108)KRI was established in 200(cid:24), the youngest of Komatsu Group

companies in Indonesia. When he was transferred to KRI, he found

an urgent need to anchor quality control methods in the company,(cid:122)

recalls Kurnianto. (cid:41)e and (cid:41)iroki Nakamura, a Japanese expat from

KRI's Mother Plant (Oyama Plant), embarked on company-wide QC

training to ensure all employees thoroughly understand the basics

of QC activities for improvement. They formed QC circles and held

conventions twice a year. After the basics were anchored in the

company in 2014, they launched the (cid:108)Aggressive and Proactive(cid:122)

campaign to step up their efforts in supporting distributors and

their end-customers, by directly finding their needs and promoting

KAI(cid:59)EN.

In the last few years, mining companies, which are Reman

customers, have curtailed capital investment, while keeping up

production. It appears that this trend will linger a few more years.

(cid:108)For mining customers to sustain their productivity, the importance

of Reman should further grow,(cid:122) confirms Kurnianto.

KRI is working to supply high-quality Reman products (cid:113)exibly,

according to customer needs, in order for the Komatsu Group to

enhance its position worldwide. KRI stands fully ready to

accomplish its goal.

New manufacturing plant and production transfer

With over 1(cid:24) years of experience in the automobile industry in the area of production planning control, Krishnan joined

KIPL in 2006 as the first national employee in the Planning (cid:7) Coordination Department. Since then he has been

responsible for (cid:41)ANSEI (sales and production planning) as well as cost and inventory controls. (cid:41)e was also involved in

the green field plant start-up of dump trucks, and most recently in the smooth transfer of the production of hydraulic

excavators from LTCEL, a subsidiary of Larsen (cid:7) Tourbro Limited (L(cid:7)T), to KIPL's new plant which began operation in

Chennai in May 2015.

This transfer project began in April 2013 and is scheduled to be completed in September 2016. In India, under the

partnership with L(cid:7)T, Komatsu engaged in production, sales and service of hydraulic excavators over the years. Since

April 2013, KIPL has become responsible for production and L(cid:7)T for sales and service, in order to ensure further

growth by capitalizing on each other's strengths. This transfer involves 5 models, ranging from 6-ton to 20-ton classes.

In the course of the transfer, he recalls, (cid:108)It was a challenging task to meet market demand and achieve monthly sales

and production targets, while keeping a 50-to-50 balance of the volume of production between KIPL and LTCEL.(cid:122) In the

same period, KIPL has also launched the production of the PC210-8M0 model, designed exclusively to respond to local

market needs, and has begun installation of KOMTRA(cid:57) in all excavator models.

Growing Indian economy

In response to the 20% increase of demand for hydraulic

excavators in India, Nepal and Bhutan since the second half of

2015, they worked to double their production volume within the

short period of December 2015 to February 2016 with the help of

their Mother Plant in Japan. (cid:41)e says, (cid:108)We are very excited about

the projected expansion of demand in India and we should be able

Review of the Previous Mid-range

Management Plan

We promoted the (cid:108)Together We Innovate GEMBA

Worldwide(cid:122) mid-range management plan for three

years from April, 2013 to March, 2016.

During this period, demand for construction and

mining equipment continued to decline drastically from

our projection, as impacted by slowing economies of

emerging countries ,as well as sluggish commodity

prices. In particular, demand for mining equipment

nose-dived to about 30% of the FY2012 level.

Against this backdrop, we accelerated the speed of

implementing structural reforms, such as cutting down

production costs and curbing fixed costs, as we

diligently carried out seeding for future growth, one of

the core strategies of the mid-range management

plan.

Management Tasks Ahead

When we assess our business environment today, we

must first think about demand for construction and

mining equipment as well as industrial machinery. We

project that demand for construction and mining

equipment, in particular, from which we generate 90%

of total sales, will remain very challenging in FY2016

and beyond, for some time. (cid:108)Against this backdrop,

how are we going to ensure growth(cid:32)(cid:122) This is the first

task we must address.

We believe the key to our growth, after all, lies in

solutions to the problems of GEMBA (workplaces).

Tasks that customers face in their GEMBA differ

depending on countries, regions or industries.

(cid:41)owever, we believe the following represents the major

tasks of our customers, i.e., 1) to meet the shortage of

skilled workers, 2) use of IoT (Internet of Things), 3) to

improve the safety, productivity and environmental

performance of their jobsite operations, and 4) to

reduce the total cost of ownership of their machines.

Today we are also witnessing growing social

expectations in relation to ESG (Environmental, Social

and Governance) from companies.

We need to keep our full attention on these

management tasks as we continue to conduct our

business into the future.

Start of the New Mid-range Management Plan

(2 minutes and 46 seconds)

We project that demand for construction and mining equipment will remain in an adjustment phase for

the time being, centering on emerging countries. In the long range, however, global population will grow

and the urbanization rate will increase, especially in emerging countries, which will fuel more civil

engineering and construction works and increase the required volume of minerals. Therefore, we

believe we can expect a sustainable growth of demand for construction and mining equipment.

In the industrial machinery business, we anticipate that capital investment will increase in the

automobile and semiconductor industries. Accordingly, demand should remain steady for a few years,

albeit with some ups and downs.

Based on these assumptions, we embarked on the new (cid:108)Together We Innovate GEMBA Worldwide:

Growth Toward Our 100th Anniversary (2021) and Beyond(cid:122) mid-range management plan in April 2016.

As we look into our 100th anniversary in 2021, we are working to maintain our sustainable growth

beyond 2021 at a rate above the industry's average.

Outline of the New Mid-range Management Plan

(3 minutes and 23 seconds)

Targets

Targets of the new mid-range management plan are

described in the chart on the right.

In addition to profitability, e(cid:9359)ciency, profit redistribution

to shareholders and financial position, we have included a

new key performance indicator.

We have also separated the retail finance business as a

new operating segment in order to enhance management

transparency in the new plan.

Please see the linked sheet for our projection of

consolidated business results for FY2016, the first year of

the new plan.

Cash Dividend

In the last three years, we reduced our debt of all

operations, except for the retail finance business, as

planned. Concerning the future use of funds, we will

further consider the redistribution of profits to

shareholders, including stock buybacks, while keeping

investment for growth at the center. Specifically, we have

set the policy of a consolidated payout ratio of 40% or

higher with no decrease of dividends, as long as the

consolidated payout ratio does not surpass 60%.

For FY2016, we are planning annual dividends of JPY58

per share, the same amount as FY2015. As a result, the

consolidated payout ratio should amount to 59.4%.

Strategies

We defined three core strategies of (cid:108)growth based on

innovation(cid:122), (cid:108)growth of existing businesses(cid:122) and (cid:108)Structural

reforms designed to reinforce our business foundation(cid:122)

and promoted corresponding efforts in the previous mid-

range management plan. In the new mid-range

management plan, we continue to focus on three core

strategies of the previous plan. We will strive to accelerate

growth by working to sow the seeds for future growth and

taking further advantage of our group-wide strength of

IoT, even while demand for construction and mining

equipment remain sluggish.

Through our IoT, we will connect all GEMBA (workplaces),

consisting of our customers, distributors and production,

including suppliers, in order to improve the safety and

productivity of all GEMBA, thereby working to become

ever more indispensable to our customers.

ESG (Sustainability)

(2 minutes and 53 seconds)

Reinforcement of ESG Efforts

Over the years, the Komatsu Group has made proactive ESG efforts, namely

environmental, social and corporate governance. We believe the importance of ESG

efforts will steadily become stronger into the future. In our new mid-range management

plan, we will maintain focused efforts as we place emphasis on the environment, on

society and on corporate governance.

Environmental Conservation Efforts

The reduction of CO  emissions is our

important task for environmental

conservation. Construction equipment in

throughout its lifecycle (chart on the right).

We will help our customers reduce CO

Corporate Social Responsibility Efforts

We at the Komatsu Group have set our basic principle to

make CSR efforts through core businesses. Based on this

principle, we would like to engage in social contribution

activities that make the best use of our strengths to fulfill

our responsibilities to society.

As part of our CSR efforts, under the leadership of

different Komatsu Group companies around the world, we

engage in support activities to solve local problems.

For example, in Japan we provide support to Japan's

agriculture business, which is facing serious problems of

aging and no newcomers, by capitalizing on our

manufacturing expertise.

We will continue to pay close attention to the needs of

young people.

local communities around the world in order to deeply

anchor the social contribution activities of Komatsu Group

companies.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, COMPLIANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Corporate Governance, Compliance and Risk Management

Komatsu maintains the basic management policy of commitment to Quality and Reliability to maximize

its corporate value. Komatsu believes that its corporate value is the total sum of trust given to it by

society and all its stakeholders.

To increase the total sum of trust, Komatsu needs to not only improve business results but also

enhance the soundness and transparency of management.

Corporate Governance

We, at Komatsu, believe our corporate value is the total sum of trust given to us by

society and all stakeholders. To become a company which enjoys even more trust from

shareholders and all other stakeholders, we are working to strengthen corporate

governance, improve management e(cid:9359)ciency, advocate corporate ethics and ensure

sound management on a group-wide basis.

In April 2016, we appointed top management o(cid:9359)cers of Komatsu Group's overseas

Compliance

As the importance of corporate social responsibility is growing today, it is indispensable

for all companies to respond to social trust by ensuring that each and every employee

not only fully understands corporate responsibility but also complies with the Rule of the

Business Community, not limited to laws and regulations in a narrow sense.

In addition, the Komatsu Group is strongly conscious of its slogan of SLQDC, i.e., Safety

and Law take priority over Quality, Delivery and Cost, as it works to ensure compliance.

Risk Management

We define all states of uncertainty, which can threaten the sustainable growth of the

Komatsu Group. We recognize the problems related to compliance as major risks, in

particular, the environment, product quality, accidents, information security and other

matters, and we are thus implementing corresponding countermeasures.
