 Defining The Way

AnnuAl RepoRT   2013

April 1, 2012–March 31, 2013

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
One goal of this year’s Annual Report is to inform our stakeholders about 

the characteristics and strengths that Toray has evolved through more 

than 80 years of experience, and about our vision and future direction. 

I believe that materials have the power to bring about fundamental transformations in 

our lives and culture. That is why I am proud to be involved in the management of Toray 

as it fulfills its vital role as a materials manufacturer. 

  Toray was established in 1926 to manufacture viscous rayon, the world’s first man-

made fiber. In the eight decades since, we have become one of the world’s leading 

manufacturers of advanced materials. The ultimate goal of Toray Group is to become the 

world’s number one manufacturer of advanced materials. We continue to use the poten-

tial of the materials that we have created during those years to provide solutions for the 

many challenges confronting the human race in the 21st century, including global envi-

ronment problems.  

In this year’s Annual Report, we tell the corporate story of Toray, so that, by knowing 

our origins and heritage, stakeholders might more fully understand our characteristics 

as a company, the strengths acquired from our wide-ranging experience, and our think-

ing—together, they define our way.

New Basic Materials — the Challenge of the Unknown

“Finally done it. Produced the wonderful new fiber. Quality excellent.” 

  Such a message was telegrammed to Yunosuke Yasukawa, Chairman of Toyo Rayon 

Co., Ltd. (now Toray Industries, Inc.), on August 16, 1927 by James Starley, who was 

then chief engineer at the Shiga Plant. 

In that era, the development of new technology was led by advanced companies in 

European countries, especially Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy. The creation of 

new industries was an urgent priority for Japan. Toray furthered that goal by recruiting 

from advanced countries 27 specialists in various fields and building a manufacturing 

facility for chemical fibers to recreate the process for rayon, the leading advanced 

fiber of its day. In August 1927, they achieved their breakthrough. Named in the United 

States, rayon suggests “bright thread,” highlighting its similarity to silk. 

In the same year that Toray began production of artificial fibers in Japan, Charles 

Lindbergh made the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic. It was also a time when 

more and more products of modern science were beginning to appear in day-to-day life. 

  This was the beginning of Toray’s history as a company that uses the most ad-

vanced chemistry of the era to create new materials and prepare for challenges just 

beyond the horizon.

Toray IndusTrIes, Inc. 
 
07

AnnuAl RepoRt 201308

Toray IndusTrIes, Inc.From its founding and into the 1930s, Toray 

expanded its major plants in Japan while steadily 

developing its own technology. The next chal-

lenge, in the late 1930s, was the development of 

nylon fiber, the first new material created using 

synthetic chemistry in the history of mankind. 

  Shortly after the end of World War II, Toray 

began manufacturing nylon fiber using original 

technology. The year was 1946. 

  The American company DuPont had pioneered 

the development of nylon and was acquiring pat-

ents. Toray decided that the best way to establish 

a full-scale nylon manufacturing business was to 

enter into a technology agreement with DuPont, 

which would also prevent competitors from 

using DuPont technology to enter Japan’s nylon 

market. In 1951, Toray acquired exclusive rights 

to use DuPont’s patents relating to nylon fiber. 

The agreement did not encompass the provision 

of know-how. Yet, Toray had accumulated fiber-

making technology through its experience with 

rayon and was confident in the future potential of 

synthetic chemistry. All corporate resources were 

therefore focused on the creation of a full-scale 

nylon business. 

  Toray learned much through the develop-

ment and commercialization of nylon, 

A New Era Built on Synthetic Chemistry

including the importance of R&D strategies for 

advanced materials, and patent strategies in 

the international business arena. In the 1950s 

and 1960s, Toray earned vast profits as Japan’s 

first industrial producer of nylon. Those profits 

would provide the foundation for Toray’s future 

growth and development. 

09

AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Surviving the Shocks 

By the early 1960s Toray was the most profitable company in Japan. In addition to nylon, it had begun to produce 

polyester fibers in 1958 and acrylic fibers in 1964, giving it a business based on the three major synthetic fibers. 

  However, its profits depended on exports, which were almost one-half of its sales. From the mid-1960s, newcom-

ers began to move into the nylon and polyester markets, and the overheated production triggered a structural 

recession in the synthetic fiber industry in Japan. 

In 1971, the value of the yen began to rise as a result of the Nixon Shock, while the signing of the Japan-U.S. 

Textile Agreement caused a decline in exports to the United States. The 1973 and 1979 oil shocks added to the 

challenges of this prolonged period of tribulation. 

In 1970, the name of the company was changed from Toyo Rayon to Toray. Toray also began to work toward 

sustainable growth through diversification into a number of new business areas that today encompass plastics, 

which includes films and resins, new materials, such as carbon fiber, and life sciences business. 

  Toray also expanded its production operations into Southeast Asia and other overseas locations to create a 

structure that would be less vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations and better able to meet the needs of customers 

that were also expanding globally.

12

Toray IndusTrIes, Inc.The overseas production activities of Toray 

Group began 50 years ago, in 1963, with the 

start-up of a fiber production operation in 

Thailand. Our production operations in Indone-

sia and Malaysia followed only 10 years later. 

  Until the 1980s, Toray struggled to earn 

reliable income from these operations, in part 

because of the negative impact of the oil shocks 

and other factors. Toray achieved a clear 

turnaround in Southeast Asia through in-depth 

cost management and product quality raised 

to a level at which it was possible to export to 

Europe and the United States. 

  The success of overseas businesses cannot 

be ensured simply by transferring technology 

and management systems. It requires efforts 

over many years, including the establishment of 

forward-looking management strategies, local 

training of employees and the establishment of 

shared values. 

  Toray Group’s overseas infrastructure today 

serves as a production and supply network for 

global markets. Achievements based on our 

past experience form the foundations for our 

current global operations strategy. 

13

AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Toray’s DNA

Throughout its history, Toray has worked constantly to develop advanced technology to support its role as a manu-

facturer of materials. A key part of the corporate DNA that has been handed down within the Toray organization 

is our commitment to research and technology development to create the keys for our success in the future. This 

belief is manifested in a constant drive to maintain and strengthen our research and development capabilities. 

  Toray’s core technologies are organic synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry, biotechnology and nano-

technology. Our efforts to achieve new advances in these areas individually also lead to the creation of new 

integrated technologies. 

  One of the characteristics that make up Toray DNA is our unique approach to marketing through strategic 

partnerships with customers. In addition to the creation of new materials, Toray has also focused continuously 

on the development of applications for those materials. 

  We carefully monitor contemporary needs and work with midstream and downstream partner companies to offer 

new fashion and lifestyle ideas. This commitment is as much a part of Toray DNA as technology development.

Creation of New Value

Carbon fiber supplied by Toray makes up 

50% of the airframe weight of the Boeing 787 

Dreamliner, which made its first commercial 

flight in 2011. The full acceptance of carbon 

fiber as a material for structural aircraft 

parts was a long-cherished dream for Toray, 

which has long led the world in carbon fiber 

development. By using carbon fiber, it has been 

possible to reduce the weight of the airframe, 

which in turn reduces the aircraft’s carbon 

dioxide emissions by 20% and makes air 

transport more earth-friendly. 

  As the world’s top manufacturer of reverse 

osmosis membranes for seawater desalination 

plants, Toray Group is also helping to alleviate 

water shortages in various parts of the world. 

The water problem ranks alongside the energy 

problem as one of the key issues confronting 

mankind in the 21st century. By helping to 

solve this problem, Toray is making a major 

contribution to society. 

In the field of energy-related technologies, 

Toray Group manufactures materials for 

solar panels, fuel cells and other new energy 

systems. Toray is also a leader in green in-

novation, including biomass-derived fibers and 

resins. In addition, Toray will continue to take 

up the challenges of contributing to humanity 

and society through life innovation activities 

leading to creation of revolutionary new phar-

maceuticals and medical devices. 

17

AnnuAl RepoRt 2013 
Toward a Brighter Future

We cannot bring about big changes simply by tweaking the shape of existing things. 

However, we believe that we will help to create new products that can fundamentally 

transform people’s lives by modifying the materials from which all things are made. 

That belief drives Toray’s efforts to develop advanced materials. 

In the same light, we will continue to work toward the solution of global environ-

mental problems and other issues affecting all of mankind through green innovation, 

and we will also help to improve quality of life through our life innovation activities. 

  We believe that the mission of Toray Group is to offer our customers advanced mate-

rials made possible through continuing innovation driven by the power of chemistry.

Toray’s way

Toray Group is working proactively to achieve sustainable revenue and profit growth 
under a long-term corporate vision with a 10-year time frame, combined with 
medium-term management programs designed to realize that vision.

To achieve our long-term corporate vision, we are pursuing group-wide initiatives based 
on the Green Innovation Business Expansion Project, the Asia and Emerging Country 
Business Expansion Project and the Total Cost Reduction Project. 

I would like to begin this report by expressing our profound 
gratitude to stockholders and investors for their continuing 
support. 

In the year ended March 31, 2013 (fiscal 2012), we faced 
challenging conditions in the world economy. real economic 
trends in Europe entered a prolonged recession under the im-
pact of Europe’s sovereign debt problems, and this problem 
was compounded by economic deceleration in China and the 
slowing pace of economic recovery in the united States. 
  The Japanese economy followed a gradual recovery 
trend, driven in part by reconstruction demand related to 
the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, the economy 
marked time from the summer of 2012 onwards, mainly 
because of the slowing performance of overseas economies. 
Some economic indicators began to show signs of improve-
ment, including the correction of the overvalued yen and the 
revitalization of the stock market, in response to measures 
implemented by the new abe administration that took office 
in late 2012. 
  Toray Group is responding to this business environment 
by working under its medium-term management program—
Project aP-G 2013—to implement growth strategies cen-
tering on business expansion in growth business fields and 
growth regions. at the same time, we have further intensi-
fied our efforts to strengthen our total cost competitiveness. 

We are seeking new growth paths through 
shifting to a proactive management stance 
under our medium-term management 
program—Project AP-G 2013. 

Since 2002, Toray Group has adopted long-term corporate 
visions with a 10-year time frame and medium-term manage-
ment programs covering periods of 3–5 years. We have main-
tained a process of management reforms while progressively 
revising our visions and programs. 

In april 2011, we adopted a new long-term corporate 
vision—aP-Growth TOray 2020—as an integrated manage-
ment guideline for our efforts to build a corporate group that 
continually increases revenues and profits. We are currently 
implementing Project aP-G 2013, a medium-term manage-
ment program covering the first three years under aP-Growth 
TOray 2020. Our aims under this program are to expand 
business in growth business fields and growth regions, and to 
establish a robust business footing by cost reductions. 
  under Project aP-G 2013, we are seeking new paths for 
growth through shifting to a proactive management stance, 
while maintaining our commitment to management reforms 
started under previous medium-term management programs. 
  The year ended March 2013 was the middle year of Proj-
ect aP-G 2013. The consolidated net sales of Toray Group 
increased by 0.2% over the previous year’s level to ¥1,592.3 
billion. Operating income was 22.5% lower at ¥83.4 billion, 
and net income declined by 24.5% to ¥48.5 billion. 
  Business expansion in growth business fields and growth 
regions was reflected in increased net sales. However, income

prices due to a global downturn in demand. 
  On the other hand, we continued to make steady progress 
in pursuing the growth strategies and strengthening the earn-
ings base, as defined in Project aP-G 2013. 

Continuing Progress under 
Project AP-G 2013

under Project aP-G 2013, we are implementing group-wide 
the Green Innovation Business Expansion (Gr) Project, the 
asia and Emerging Country Business Expansion (aE) Project 
and the Total Cost reduction (TC-II) Project. These three proj-
ects are expected to deliver major benefits through group-
wide cross-organizational activities. 

Green Innovation Business expansion (GR) project
The aim of the Gr Project is to achieve growth by using the 
power of chemistry to contribute to the solution of global 
problems relating to the environment, resources and energy. 
  We have identified four core business areas for prioritized 
technology development and business expansion, outlined 
below:

1. Carbon fiber composite materials 

 We are the world’s no. 1 manufacturer of carbon fiber 
composite materials, which are used in a wide range of ap-
plications, and we aim to achieve further rapid expansion. 

2. Water treatment membranes 

 We are also the leading company in the area of water treat-
ment membranes, and we are determined to consolidate our 
no. 1 position by stepping up our global expansion efforts. 
3.  Battery materials for solar cells, fuel cells and lithium-ion 

batteries 
 We are determined to use the total capabilities of Toray  
Group to build a position for ourselves as the world’s top 
manufacturer in the area of battery materials.

4. Biomass materials 

 We will develop and commercialize new products using 
plant-derived materials. 

In the year ended March 2013, net sales from Green 
Innovation Businesses amounted to ¥450.4 billion, or 28% of 
total consolidated net sales. We aim to increase this to ¥600 
billion by around 2015 and to ¥1,000 billion by around 2020. 

Key GR project Topics in the year ended March 2013 
l  Carbon fiber composite materials: We acquired 100% of 
the shares in DOME CarBOn MaGIC LTD. and 75% of 
the shares in its production subsidiary in Thailand. These 
companies are now Toray subsidiaries. 

l  Water treatment membranes: We received orders to 

supply reverse osmosis (rO) membranes to the al Zawra 
Desalination Plant in the Emirate of ajman and the Ghali-
lah Desalination Plant in the Emirate of ra’s al Khaymah in 
the united arab Emirates. 

l  printing plates: We decided to build a new production 

facility for Toray Textiles Central Europe s.r.o., a subsidiary 
based in the Czech republic.

tions and establishing new facilities in markets where we are not 
yet active. Third, we are speeding up the process of business 
expansion by forming alliances with leading local companies. 
Fourth, we are expanding our activities in the field of advanced 
materials to keep pace with demand growth driven by the 
expansion of high-net-worth and middle-class populations. 
  net sales in asian emerging countries totaled ¥569.5 billion in 
the year ended March 2013. Our goal is to increase this to ¥900 
billion by around 2015 and to ¥1,500 billion by around 2020. 

Key Ae project Topics in the year under Review
l		ASeAN: We decided to expand our production facilities 

in Thailand for nylon fibers used in automobile airbags, to 
establish a new resin compound facility in Indonesia and to 
expand our vapor deposition processing capacity for food 
packaging films in Malaysia. 

l		Republic of Korea: a new carbon fiber carbonization facility 

became operational. 

l		China: We established a  new resin compound company in 

Chengdu. 

l		Emerging countries: We expanded our sales network in Bra-
zil, and the Istanbul Liaison Office of Toray International Inc. 
opened for business. 

Total Cost Reduction (TC-II) project
The TC-II Project is a group-wide initiative to establish a ro-
bust business footing by reducing variable costs and control-
ling fixed costs. 
  Our target for variable costs is to achieve a reduction of at 
least 3% per annum (based on the year ended March 2011) 
and a total three-year reduction of 10% during the three 
years covered by Project aP-G 2013. In numerical terms, this 
represents a reduction of more than ¥70 billion. Our strate-
gies for reaching this target include the extension of unit 
consumption improvement methods used in Toray Japanese 
plants to our group companies in Japan and overseas, the 
reduction of procurement and logistics costs through initia-
tives linked to business strategies and the establishment of 
global procurement systems. In the year ended March 2013, 
variable costs were reduced by ¥24.6 billion, or 4.0% com-
pared with the previous year. 
  We have introduced a new indicator, the “Performance” 
(P) indicator, as a benchmark for our efforts to maintain an ap-
propriate scale for fixed costs during this business expansion 
phase. The P indicator is calculated by dividing the rate of in-
crease in fixed costs by rate of increase in marginal profit. We 
will manage fixed costs for each business division by keeping 
this indicator at 1.0 or lower, or by maintaining budget ratios. 
In the year ended March 2013, we reduced fixed costs by 
¥17.3 billion relative to budgets. However, with a P indicator 
of 1.05, we failed to achieve a budget ratio of 1.00.

Under Project AP-G 2013, Toray Group is implementing growth strategies centering 
on business expansion in growth business fields and growth regions, while also targeting 
further improvement in total cost competitiveness.

We aim to achieve record income 
in the year ending March 2014, 
the final year of Project AP-G 2013.

AP-Growth TORAY 2020—
Enhancing the Value of Our Corporate Role

In the year ending March 2014, the world economy is still af-
fected by lingering uncertainty surrounding responses to the 
European sovereign debt problem. However, the overall eco-
nomic environment is expected to follow a gradual recovery 
trend driven by factors that include the growth of China and 
other emerging economies, and expectations of economic 
expansion in the united States. 
  although there is also uncertainty about the outlook for 
the Japanese economy, economic performance is expected 
to move gradually toward recovery thanks to a combination 
of factors, including an export rally linked to the correction of 
the overvalued yen, the emergence of post-earthquake recon-
struction demand and a rise in confidence based on expecta-
tions toward the economic policies of the abe administration. 
  Toray Group aims to achieve record sales and operating 
income in the year ending March 2014 through a continuing 
focus on initiatives under Project aP-G 2013 and through 
concerted group-wide efforts to realize growth strategies and 
strengthen our earnings base. 

as mentioned earlier, in February 2011 we adopted a long-
term corporate vision, known as aP-Growth TOray 2020, 
which encapsulates our vision for Toray around 10 years in 
the future, and Project aP-G 2013, a medium-term manage-
ment program covering the first three-year period. 

In addition to the expansion of business revenue and prof-
it and the achievement of further global business expansion, 
we are also focusing on and the expansion of our Green In-
novation Businesses under our long-term corporate vision—
aP-Growth TOray 2020. Our aim is to build a future as a 
corporate group capable of continually increasing revenues 
and profits, while also proactively contributing to social 
development and environmental stewardship and providing 
high value to all stakeholders. 
  under our medium-term management program, Project 
aP-G 2013, which is based on this long-term corporate 
vision, we are pursuing growth strategies and implement-
ing comprehensive and powerful initiatives designed to 
strengthen our corporate structure during this period of 
challenging business conditions in Japan and overseas. We 
are also undertaking facility investment aimed at global 
expansion in our various business fields and making steady 
progress on research and development efforts targeted 
toward the creation of new products and technologies in 
the future.

Basic Strategy of Global Operations— Achieve growth through strong local roots

Toray began to develop overseas 
production operations far earlier than 
most Japanese companies. Toray 
Group’s first overseas production 
started in Thailand in 1963. Our pro-
duction network expanded to encom-
pass Southeast asia in the 1960s and 
1970s, Europe and the united States 
in the 1980s, and the republic of 
Korea and China in the 1990s. 
  Today, Toray Group is building a 
global operating structure based on 
stronger organic cooperation between 
overseas and Japanese facilities. This 
structure has given Toray Group a key 
advantage—the ability to adapt flex-
ibly to exchange rate fluctuations and 
demand trends. 
  regardless of the country or region 
in which they are made, all Toray 
products must meet Toray Group’s 
own standard of technology and qual-
ity according to “Made in Toray”. Our 
plants in Japan support our global 
growth strategy through their role as 
mother plants, including research and 
development focusing on advanced 
and innovative technologies, the de-
velopment of advanced materials, and 
the development and implementation 
of innovative processes. 
  We target business expansion by 
using this global network of produc-
tion facilities in Japan and overseas to 
manufacture each item at the optimal 
location. Our global expansion is driven 
by our fundamental determination to 

ensure that each production facil-
ity established goes on to put down 
strong local roots and achieve growth 
and success in partnership with local 
communities.

50th Anniversary of 
Business in Thailand

This year marks the 50th anniversary 
of Toray Group’s first overseas pro-
duction operation, Thai Toray Textile 
Mills, which was established in 1963 to 
produce polyester-rayon blend fabrics. 
Since then we have built a wide range 
of business operations in Thailand, 
including Luckytex (Thailand), which 
spins polyester-cotton fibers, pro-
duces textiles for airbags, etc., and 
weaves and dyes the fabrics, and Thai 
Toray Synthetics, a manufacturer of 
nylon and polyester filament yarns. 
  Thailand will continue to be a key 
focus for the expansion of Toray 
Group’s business activities in the 
aSEan region. 

In Indonesia, we established Cen-
tury Textile Industry, which produces 
polyester-cotton blend fabrics, and 
the polyester-rayon blend fabrics man-
ufacturer Indonesia Synthetic Textile 
Mills, in 1972. Other companies were 
subsequently established, includ-
ing production subsidiaries for nylon 
filament yarns, high-performance 
polypropylene, non-woven fabrics 
and other products. These companies 
achieved strong growth thanks to 
their excellent cost competitiveness. 
   Our activities in Malaysia began 
with the establishment of several tex-
tile production sites during the 1970s. 
Today we have integrated production 
operations spanning all stages from 
fibers to textiles, including polyester 
staple fibers, and spun, woven, dyed 
and printed polyester-cotton blend 
products. Our diverse business opera-
tions also include the production of 
resins and films.

Science Foundations

Four Decades of Business 
Development in Indonesia 
and Malaysia

Toray first began to develop business 
operations in Indonesia and Malaysia 
40 years ago. 

In 1993 and 1994, Toray established 
science foundations in Indonesia, 
Malaysia and Thailand. These founda-
tions contribute to the development 
of scientific technology in the aSEan 
region by supporting the improvement 
and development of scientific technol-
ogy and culture in all three countries.

Global Expansion of 
Carbon Fiber Business

Expanding Our Global 
Production Capacity to 
Match Demand

Active Development of 
New Applications

World demand for polyacrylonitrile 
(Pan) carbon fibers expanded to 
around 39,000 tons in 2012 and is 
expected to remain on a steep growth 
trend of 15% growth per year. 
  Toray leads the global carbon fiber 
industry as the world’s number one 
producer. Our global production net-
work consists of production facilities 
in Japan, the united States, France 
and the republic of Korea. We plan 
to invest around ¥45 billion in these 
four bases to increase our carbon fiber 
production capacity by 6,000 tons per 
year. This will bring Toray Group’s to-
tal capacity to 27,100 tons per year by 
March 2015, enhancing our ability to 
stably supply high-quality, high-grade 
carbon fibers reliably to customers 
throughout the world. 

Toray Group is actively developing 
new applications for carbon fibers. 
In June 2011, we established a 
joint venture with the German com-
pany Daimler to manufacture and sell 
automobile parts made from carbon 
fiber composite materials. This com-
pany has dramatically enhanced the 
productivity of resin transfer molding 
(rTM) technology based on thermo-
setting resin. It has started to supply 
Daimler with mass-produced parts. 
In april 2013, we acquired DOME 
CarBOn MaGIC LTD., which has an 
excellent reputation in the automobile 
industry through its involvement in 
racing car design and manufacturing.  
DOME CarBOn MaGIC LTD., brings 
advanced design and analysis technol-
ogies and prototyping capabilities—
together with a Thai manufacturing 
subsidiary—giving Toray a robust, 
vertically integrated supply chain with 
excellent cost competitiveness. 
   We are also expanding our markets 
for environmental and energy-related 
applications. Examples of products 
in this category include compressed 
natural gas tanks to meet demand 
growth resulting from the commer-
cialization of shale gas in the united 
States.

Expansion of Production 
Operations in Asia’s
Emerging Markets

Harnessing the Growth 
Potential of the ASEAN 
Region

The plan calls for the installation of 
production facilities with capacity 
for 6,000 tons per year, with a target 
start-up date of november 2013. 

Toray has shifted to a more proac-
tive management stance under the 
aP-G 2013 medium-term manage-
ment program. In line with the basic 
strategy defined in aP-G 2013, we are 
focusing our global expansion efforts 
on countries and regions that offer 
particularly strong growth potential 
through group-wide initiatives based 
on asia and Emerging Country Busi-
ness Expansion (aE) Project. 
  Our target is to raise Toray Group’s 
sales in asia and emerging countries of 
other regions from ¥569.5 billion in the 
year ended March 2013 (fiscal 2012) to 
¥1,500 billion by around 2020.

Decision to establish new Resin 
Compound Facility
Toray has decided to establish the first 
resin compound facility for engineer-
ing plastics in Indonesia. Demand for 
engineering plastics in Indonesia is 
expected to increase by around 9% 
annually in volume terms, and the 
creation of local production capacity 
will allow Toray to respond quickly to 
the needs of local customers and pro-
vide in-depth technical services. as a 
result, Toray will be able to expand its 
business by moving quickly and effec-
tively to capture the growing demand 
for engineering plastics in Indonesia. 

Decision to Increase production of 
nylon Fibers for Airbags
Demand for airbags is growing, in part 
because of the increasing percentage 
of airbag-equipped vehicles in emerg-
ing markets. Toray is determined to 
capture this demand growth and has 
decided to expand its production 
capacity in Thailand for nylon 66 fiber 
for automobile airbags. The new facili-
ties, which will have an annual produc-
tion capacity of about 7,000 tons, are 
scheduled to come on line in January 
2015. This capacity boost will bring 
Toray’s total production capacity for 
nylon 66 airbag fiber in Japan and 
Thailand to approximately 32,000 tons 
per year.

Decision to expand production of 
packaging Films
Demand for packaging materials in the 
aSEan region is expected to increase 
by 3–5% annually in step with improv-
ing living standards. Toray Group aims 
to harness this demand growth by 
expanding the capacity of its vapor 
deposition equipment in Malaysia for 
packaging films used for food and 
other products. The new facilities are 
scheduled to become operational in 
april 2014.

Developing Growth 
Markets beyond Asia

In addition to its activities in asia, 
Toray Group is also laying foundations 
for business development in emerging 
markets in other regions. 

  Toray’s business in Brazil is worth 
around ¥6 billion at present. We aim 
to expand this to ¥20 billion over the 
next five years.

Expansion in Brazil 

New Representative Office 
in Turkey

In november 2012, Toray’s local sub-
sidiary in Brazil was restructured under 
a new management structure. Local 
staff numbers were increased, and 
Japanese staff members were assigned 
to the company for the first time. With 
double the number of personnel, the 
potential of this company as a sales 
base has been significantly enhanced. 
  With a population of 190 mil-
lion and a land area over 20 times 
greater than Japan’s Brazil is the 
biggest country in South america. as 
the world’s sixth biggest economy, 
Brazil has continued to achieve stable 
economic growth, as evidenced by 
an average real GDP growth rate of 
around 4% over the past five years. 
  Brazil will host the Soccer World 
Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 
2016. These major international sporting 
events are expected to provide addition-
al impetus for economic development. 

Toray International, the trading arm of 
Toray Group, has operated a repre-
sentative office in Istanbul, Turkey’s 
largest city, since July 2012. around 
one-half of Turkey’s estimated popu-
lation of 74 million consists of young 
people aged 29 or below. The Turk-
ish economy continues to expand 
steadily, and real GDP has grown by 
an average of about 5% over the past 
eight years. 
  Since the opening of its representa-
tive office in Istanbul, Toray Interna-
tional has been working to expand 
Toray Group’s business in Turkey and 
neighboring countries in product cat-
egories ranging from industrial fibers 
and textiles to printing materials. Its 
approach is based on the utilization 
of local facilities, such as partnerships 
with local companies, to provide a 
timely response to customer needs.

summary of Consolidated Financial Results for the year ended

In the Japanese market for industrial applications, sales of automotive 
applications followed a firm trend in the first half of the year, but 
the expiry of the eco-car subsidy program was reflected in slower 
performance in the second half. In the area of apparel applications, 
there was a strong demand for materials used in functional fall and 
winter apparel, but demand for general apparel applications remained 
weak because of the economic recession and other factors. 
  Trends in overseas markets continued to show the effects of 
prolonged economic stagnation in Europe and slower demand in 
asia due to the deceleration of domestic demand in China. In the 
first half of the year, production and sales were also impacted by the 
floods in Thailand. 
  net sales for the Fibers & Textiles segment in the year under review 
were 1.0% lower year on year at ¥632.2 billion, while operating income 
declined by 4.6% to ¥43.2 billion.

outlook for the year ending March 2014 (Fiscal 2013)
Within Japan, the correction of the strong yen is expected to bring 
growth in business fields relating to import replacement and export-
ing. reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake is also 
likely to contribute to demand expansion. Overseas, there is concern 
about the prospect of chronic economic stagnation in Europe, but we 
anticipate generally firm trends in economic conditions in the united 
States and China, and also in aSEan and other emerging economies. 

In this business environment, Toray will aggressively pursue demand 

in growth business fields, such as fibers and textiles for automobile 
airbags, disposable diaper applications and the environment, and 
in growth regions, such as China and emerging economies. We will 
also work to strengthen and expand our garment business, which is 
structured around a planning and proposal business model based on 
the development of new materials. By strengthening our corporate 
structure  through cost reduction and other strategies, we aim to 
achieve earnings growth and global business expansion in keeping 
with expectations as a Foundation Business.

Decision to Increase production 
Capacity of Nylon Fiber for 
Automobile Airbags in Thailand 

Toray has decided to increase its produc-
tion facilities for nylon 66 fiber, which is 
used in automobile airbags, at the ayut-
thaya Plant of its subsidiary Thai Toray 
Synthetics Co., Ltd. in Thailand. When 
the new facilities become operational in 
January 2015, they will have production 
capacity for approximately 7,000 tons per 
year. The company’s current capacity will 
increase by around 40% to 23,000 tons per 
year. Toray Group’s total production capac-
ity for nylon 66 fiber for airbags, including 
production at the Okazaki Plant in aichi 
Prefecture, Japan, will expand to 32,000 
tons per year. 
  Toray has been expanding its airbag 
business globally since 2003. Original yarn 
produced in Japan and Thailand is sup-
plied to textile manufacturing plants in 
Japan, Thailand, China and the Czech re-
public, creating an integrated production 
chain from yarn to fabric. We will use this 
integrated structure to enhance our quality 
competitiveness, while also strengthening 
our global production network and our 
research and development and marketing 
functions. Our aim is to supply products 
that match global needs.

summary of Consolidated Financial Results for the year ended 
March 31, 2013 (Fiscal 2012)
There was volume growth in sales of engineering plastics for automo-
tive applications in the first half of the year because of increased 
production by automobile manufacturers, especially in Japan. However, 
the expiry of eco-car subsidy scheme brought a decline in demand 
for plastic resins from the third quarter onwards. Overseas, shipments 
of general-purpose aBS resins remained slow because of stagnation 
in the Chinese market. However, there was growth in sales of resin 
compounds and other automotive applications in the united States. 
In the films business, economic stagnation and other factors were 

reflected in slower demand in domestic and overseas markets. In 
addition, the global expansion of production resulted in a deteriorat-
ing supply-demand balance and escalating price competition. 
  net sales for the Plastics & Chemicals segment declined by 0.5% 
year on year to ¥395.8 billion. Operating income was 33.2% lower at 
¥18.3 billion.

outlook for the year ending March 2014 (Fiscal 2013)
Despite continuing uncertainties, including wide fluctuations in the 
prices of raw materials and fuels, we anticipate increased demand 
driven by the recovery of the Japanese economy and the expan-
sion of our customers’ exports due to the correction of the strong 
yen. Particularly high growth is expected in high value-added 
fields. Overseas economies, centered on emerging countries, are 
expected to lead a recovery in global demand. 

In this business environment, through every possible effort 
we aim to maximize sales of best-selling products in the plastic 
resins business. We anticipate sales growth in China, aSEan 
and emerging countries, and we aim to maintain and expand the 
spreads between selling prices and fuel and raw material prices 
by passing on increased costs quickly to selling prices. In the films 
business, there is likely to be strong price-reduction pressure from 
customers, but we will focus on the expansion of sales of high 
value-added packaging and industrial applications.

expansion of packaging Film 
production in Japan and Asia

Decisions were taken to expand vapor 
deposition facilities used in the metalliza-
tion processing of food packaging films 
at several production sites in asia. Toray 
advanced Film Co., Ltd. (TaF) plans 
to commence production with a newly 
installed state-of-the-art vapor deposi-
tion equipment for polypropylene (PP) 
packaging film at its Fukushima Plant in 
October 2013. In addition, the Malaysian 
company Penfibre Sdn. Berhad plans 
to install state-of-the-art vapor deposi-
tion equipment with technical support 
from TaF in preparation for the start of 
metallized polyester (PET) packaging film 
production. The advanced vapor deposi-
tion equipment installed at the Fukushima 
Plant is capable of producing 580 tons of 
film per month and will double the plant’s 
current vapor deposition capacity. The 
existing PET film-production facilities in 
Malaysia have a monthly capacity of 3,600 
tons. The new facilities will have capacity 
for 375 tons of metallized PET film per 
month and will allow the company to 
newly enter into processed film business.  
In Thailand, Thai Toray Synthetics, Ltd. 

completed its vapor deposition capac-
ity for cast polypropylene (CPP) film in 
October 2012. The total investment by 
these three companies will amount to 
approximately ¥3 billion.

With LCD panel production adjustments necessitated by a slump in 
the flat-screen television market mostly completed, a gradual recovery 
trend emerged. While this produced a recovery trend in demand for 
products used in flat-screen televisions, such as films and processed 
film products, price competition intensified. In the area of materi-
als for small and medium-sized flat panel displays (FPDs), sales of 
smartphone-related products remained strong, but demand for other 
applications was generally slow. 
  net sales for the IT-related Products segment in the year under re-

New plant for Waterless printing 
plates in the Czech Republic 

Toray, decided to build a new plant for 
waterless printing plates at Toray Textiles 
Central Europe s.r.o. (TTCE), its subsidiary 
in the Czech republic. Waterless print-
ing plates are extremely friendly to the 
environment. They do not require damp-
ening agents containing isopropyl alcohol 
(IPa), which is subject to environmental 
restrictions, and because alkaline develop-
ing solution is not used, the waste effluent 
is not contaminated. In addition, these 
products reduce production losses and 
improve printing quality and stability while 
also helping to reduce printing costs. The 
environment-friendly characteristics of 
waterless plates have earned considerable 
recognition in Europe, where there is a 
strong awareness of environmental issues.  
  Toray already has a production facility in 
Japan, but the new facility will be the first 
large-scale dedicated production plant in 
Europe. The addition of the new facility 
to the plant in Okazaki, Japan will double 
total production capacity for waterless 
plates.

World demand for carbon fiber is expected to remain on a steady 
growth trend, led by aircraft applications and environment and 
energy-related applications. However, due to an oversupply 
situation, especially in Europe and asia, severe share competition 
is predicted in the commodity areas of industrial and sporting 
goods applications, and the recovery of market prices is likely to 
take a little longer.

In these business circumstances, we anticipate continued 
strong sales of aircraft applications, including for Boeing for the 
787. In addition, we will also expand our sales to manufacturers 
of environment and energy-related products, take advantage of 
continuing market growth in those areas. In sporting goods appli-
cations, we will make efforts to shift our sales to high value-added 
products, and normalize prices of commodity products.

Desalination plants in the United 
Arab emirates 

In recent years, the arabian Gulf countries 
have been extensively investing in 
infrastructure using profits from rising oil 
prices. Of particular significance is the 
proliferation of plans for the construction 
of seawater desalination plants to secure 
drinking water supplies. Toray is already 
the industry leader in the area of rO 
membranes, having supplied products to  
seawater desalination plants in Bahrain, 
Kuwait, Saudi arabia and other arabian 
Gulf countries. This track record allowed 
Toray to win continuing orders for the 
supply of rO membranes to two seawater 
desalination plants at al Zawra, Emirate 
of ajman and Ghalilah, Emirate of ra’s al 
Khaimah in the united arab Emirates. 
  Toray supply rO membranes to plants 
with the capacity to produce more than 
30.7 million cubic meters of water per day. 
This equals enough water for home use 
for 120 million people (about 1.7% of the 
world population). The rO membranes 
Toray has shipped for seawater desalina-
tion to these plants cumulatively produce 
more than 7 million cubic meters per day, 
giving Toray the biggest market share in 
this field.

R&D Achievements

Fibers & Textiles

Our goal is to strengthen stable income streams and expand 
earnings in this foundation business area through the pursuit of 
breakthrough technologies that lead to the creation and expan-
sion of high-performance products and advanced materials. 
  One key success in this segment was the development of 
the world’s thinnest modified cross-section nanofibers. We also 
developed UTS-MelangeTM, ultramicro polyester filament yarns 
that provide a mottled effect based on a mixture of colors. 
Another development success was PoliloftTM NP, which helps 
to reduce environmental loads as a polyester filament yarn with 
dye-affinity at normal atmospheric pressure. 

Plastics & Chemicals

R&D activities in this foundation business segment are targeted to-
ward the reinforcement and expansion of a stable income structure, 
and the development of a sustainable recycling-based society. 
  A key achievement was the full-scale start of sales of 0S (“Zero 
S”) Grade, a new type of Toraypef® polyolefin foam with supe-
rior flexibility and formability. We also developed a high-plant 
grade of the environment-friendly biomass resin Ecodear®. Over 
50% of the polylactic resin in the new product is plant-derived. 

IT-related Products

Our R&D activities in this field reflect its status as a core strate-
gically expanding business area. 
  A major achievement was the development of an olefin-
based mold release film that combines the previously incompat-
ible characteristics of heat resistance and enhanced formability. 
We also installed the PS Laboratory, a semiconductor mounting 
R&D system, at the Shiga Plant to improve the efficiency and 
speed of R&D relating to semiconductor materials and expand 
the range of applications. In addition, we won the National 
Commendation for Invention award for the invention of a light-
sensitive paste for use in plasma display barriers. 

Carbon Fiber Composite Materials

This is a key area of market leadership for Toray, and has been 
targeted for strategic expansion as a business area offering key 
environmental benefits. 
   Significant achievements include the acquisition of all shares 
in DOME CARBON MAGIC LTD. from the Dome Group, which 
became a wholly owned subsidiary, with the aim of strength-
ening our design technology. In addition, Toray received the 

Prime Minister Prize in the 41st Japan Industrial Grand Prix for 
the development of carbon fiber and prepreg materials for use 
in the Boeing 787, as well as the Chemical Society of Japan’s 
61st Chemical Technology Award for the commercialization of a 
lightweight composite material for use in aircraft. 

Environment & Engineering

R&D activities in these areas reflect this segment’s selection for 
intensive development and expansion.
  An important success in the field of water treatment was 
the winning of an order for the supply of ROMEMBRA® reverse 
osmosis (RO) membranes for seawater desalination plants in the 
United Arab Emirates. In addition, the TorayvinoTM CassettyTM 
205MX won the 2012 Good Design Award. We also commenced 
sales of the TorayvinoTM PT304V, a pot-type water purifier that 
combines large capacity with ease of storage.

Life Science 

R&D activities in this area reflect the Life Science segment’s sta-
tus as a field selected for intensive development and expansion. 
In the medical area, we concluded a licensing agreement 
for the injectable antipruritic agent TRK-820, which was jointly 
developed with Fresenius Medical Care AG&Co KGaA, the 
world’s biggest supplier of dialysis services and related equip-
ment. Another success in the medical products field was the 
development of the Filtryzer® NF. Developed using membrane 
processing technology, this new dialyzer uses polymethylmeta-
crylate (PMMA) membranes to provide improved functionality 
compared with earlier products.

Basic Research, Development of Foundational 
Technologies

Though not linked to any particular business segment, basic 
research and the development of foundational technologies are 
a priority for Toray because of their importance to the creation 
of new businesses and products for the future. 
  Our management policy in relation to bio-based polymers, 
innovative battery materials and organic membrane solar pan-
els is to contribute to the establishment of a sustainable low-
carbon society by making the global environment the focus 
for all business strategies. We have also decided to make a full 
commitment to the development of Nanoalloy® technology as 
a technology brand because of its potential to enhance the per-
formance and functions of polymer materials. Toray holds basic 
patents, key manufacturing patents and application patents.

Development of the World’s Thinnest 
Innovative Nanofibers

Toray has succeeded in developing the world’s thinnest 
filament nanofiber with a diameter of just 150nm—just 
one-half the thickness of previous minimum fiber diam-
eter of 300nm, and a Y-shaped modified cross-section 
nanofiber with a diameter of 500nm. These fibers allow 
a greater surface area per unit of fiber weight than was 
previously possible. In addition, the spaces between the 
fibers can be modified at will to enhance various charac-
teristics, including moisture absorption, water absorp-
tion, water retention and friction coefficients. It will also 
be possible to achieve higher levels of filtration, separa-
tion and elimination performance. 
  The functional properties of the innovative nanofibers 
created using this technology will be ideal for use in 
apparel and sportswear providing new levels of comfort 
and functionality. There are many other potential appli-
cations, including filter materials, medical materials and 
other high-performance industrial materials.

Environment-friendly Biodegradable 
Microporous Film 

Toray has succeeded in the development of a biode-
gradable multiporous polylactic* film that can be used as 
a new material for various applications, including agricul-
tural multifilm, healthcare products, such as disposable 
diapers, and disposable heat packs. There are still issues 
with existing multiporous polyethylene film products, in-
cluding waste disposal and the environmental load. The 
newly developed multiporous polylactic film is expected 
to make an important contribution to the development 
of a sustainable, recycling-based society, since all of the 
polymers used are biodegradable, and the product is 
largely based on biomass materials. Toray is determined 
to commercialize the product as soon as possible and 
has accelerated efforts to develop mass-production 
technology. 

* Polylactic polymers are biodegradable substances 
synthesized from starch obtained from maize and other 
biomass materials.

Basic Policy and Priority Strategies on Intellectual Property

http://www.toray.com/ir/library/lib_005.html

For detailed information, please refer to the Intellectual Prop-
erty Report, which describes intellectual property initiatives by 
Toray Group

Intellectual Property Strategies

Intellectual property strategies must be organically linked 
to business strategies and R&D  strategies. Toray is pursu-
ing intellectual property strategies based on an integrated 
trinity of these elements in line with management policies. 
  One priority of the medium-term management program 
AP-G 2013 is the expansion of Green Innovation Busi-
nesses. Toray is currently filing patent applications and 
strengthening its rights in four major growing business 
fields: environment, water-related and energy; information, 
telecommunications and electronics; automobiles and air-
craft; and life science. We are building a patent portfolio in 
fields with the potential to solve to the world’s increasingly 
urgent and significant environmental problems.
  To support business expansion in growth business fields 
and regions, we are strategically moving to converge the 
R&D activities and intellectual property activities of the 
global Toray Group. The parent company will step up 
its efforts to secure overseas patents and rights, while 
overseas group companies will work to protect inventions 
made at Toray Group R&D facilities in various countries by 
intensifying their patent application activities and efforts 
to secure rights.

In the year ended March 31, 2013 (fiscal 2012), Toray 
Group filed 1,683 applications in Japan and 4,220 in other 
countries. The Group holds 1,013 patents in Japan and 
1,001 overseas.

Toray IndusTrIes, Inc.CSR Initiatives

Toray Group’s Corporate Philosophy and 
CSR Activities

Environmental Management Initiatives

The Corporate Philosophy of Toray Group is expressed in 
the words “Contributing to society through the creation of 
new value with innovative ideas, technologies and products.” 
Throughout our history, we have sought to contribute to 
society through our core business activities. Today we continue 
to put this philosophy into effect through carefully planned 
CSR activities.
  Our Corporate Missions identify four key types of stake-
holders: stockholders, customers, employees and society. 
Our commitment to good corporate citizenship is reflected 
in our Corporate Guiding Principles, which set targets for the 
conduct of individual employees. Our Corporate Philosophy is 
also supported by our Corporate Ethics and Legal Compliance 
Code of Conduct, which define specific standards of conduct 
to which all employees can refer.
  General plans for CSR activities are shared across the 
entire Toray Group, and we formulate CSR road maps as 
the basis for continuing initiatives based on a continual 
PDCA cycle. In the year ended March 31, 2013 (fiscal 2012), 
our progress along our CSR roadmap was generally in line 
with our plans. However, there were some key performance 
indicators (KPIs) that were not achieved. We will continue to 
work dynamically toward the achievement of our targets for 
the end of fiscal 2013.

Promotion of LCM-based Environmental Management
Toray Group’s approach to environmental management is 
based on lifecycle management (LCM). With the LCM concept, 
all business activities are viewed from the perspective of 
product and service lifecycles. The aim is to improve economic 
and social value while reducing environmental loads. Our 
Green Innovation products all embody this concept. Our LCM 
initiatives include the introduction of lifecycle assessment and 
the T-E2A efficiency analysis tool. We are now working to 
disseminate and consolidate these concepts. 
  A key source of impetus for LCM-based environmental 
management has been the guidelines used to calculate con-
tributions to the reduction of CO2 emissions. We are currently 
using the Japanese guidelines, which were published by the 
Japan Chemical Industry Association in February 2012. Global 
guidelines are now being developed and should be completed 
before the end of 2013. Toray is cooperating fully in the 
formulation of both the Japanese and international versions of 
the guidelines.

Initiatives to Fight Global Warming
Since 2000, Toray Group has enhanced and expanded its ef-
forts to prevent global warming and contribute to the emer-
gence of a recycling- oriented society through independent 
initiatives under Three-year Environmental Plans.
  Fiscal 2011 was the first year of the Fourth Medium-Term 
Environmental Plan, under which we will further expand our 
environmental initiatives. We are working systematically to re-
duce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For example, we have 
reduced energy consumption through process improvements, 
and we have switched from fuel oil to city gas. The entire 
Toray Group is implementing carefully planned measures to 
ensure the achievement of targets under this plan, which runs 
through fiscal 2015.

Voluntary Reduction of Atmospheric Emission of 
Chemical Substances
Toray Group regards the reduction of environmental loads, in-
cluding releases of chemical substances into the atmosphere, as 
one of its most important priorities. We are working to achieve 
this goal through group-level initiatives.
  Under the Fourth Medium-Term Environmental Plan, launched 
in April 2011, we are systematically implementing voluntary initia-
tives to resolutely achieve the targets of fiscal 2015 for reducing 
emissions  of  substances  covered  by  the  PRTR  law  and  volatile 
organic substances (VOCs).

Initiatives to Prevent Air and Water Pollution
Measures to prevent air and water pollution are an important 
part of Toray Group’s efforts to protect the environment at the 
production stage. We have reduced SOx emissions by install-
ing desulfurization systems and switching to alternative fuels 
at our facilities, including those in other countries. We are also 
working to reduce chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels by 
expanding our wastewater treatment facilities.

Water Resource Management Initiatives
Toray Group has long relied on the following policies to de-
velop solutions to water resource problems around the world 
through water treatment projects and other initiatives from its 
business activities.
  1.  Toray Group recognizes that water is one the most 

important resources for the human race, and that people 
in many parts of the world face problems relating to 
water resources.

  2.  Toray Group will contribute to the solution of the world’s 

water resource problems through its products, technol-
ogy and services.

  3.  Toray Group is committed to the appropriate manage-

ment of water resources, in line with its basic policy that 
the status of water resources in each region should be 
constantly monitored so that regional communities can 
share these precious resources.

50

Initiatives to Reduce Waste
As part of its contribution to a sustainable, recycling-oriented 
society, Toray Group aims to achieve zero-emission status. 
Related initiatives under the Fourth Medium-Term Environ-
mental Plan are based on numerical targets linked to specific 
indicators for fiscal 2015, including simple disposal ratios, 
landfill disposal ratios and recycling ratios.

Biodiversity Conservation Initiatives
Together with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, 
biodiversity conservation is recognized by Toray Group as a 
key global environmental priority. Our initiatives relating to 
biodiversity conservation and sustainable use are guided by 
the Toray Group Biodiversity Basic Policy, which was adopted 
in 2010.

Mapping the Relationship between Business Activities 
and Biodiversity
Biodiversity is affected by the business activities of Toray 
Group at all lifecycle stages, starting with the procurement of 
raw materials. An in-house working group has analyzed this 
relationship from the perspectives of risks and opportunities 
and produced a relationship map.

CSR Procurement and Purchasing

CSR Procurement and Purchasing Activities
As a manufacturer of advanced materials, Toray places consid-
erable importance on source control linked to end-user needs 
in a number of areas, such as raw materials used to make the 
materials and products that it supplies, and also in relation to 
its production facilities. This perception, and our commitment 
to fair trade, are reflected in our Basic Purchasing Policies. We 
have also formulated CSR Procurement Guidelines, which call 
for the development of value chains that allow us to fulfill our 
social responsibilities in partnership with our suppliers, and for 
the supply of environmentally and socially responsible materi-
als and products to our customers. Toray has also adopted 
CSR procurement compliance rules covering all corporate 
activities to ensure that it is able to provide customers with 
accurate reports about its CSR initiatives.
  Toray has established contact points for CSR procurement, 
through which we manage and internally share customer and 
supplier information. 

Toray IndusTrIes, Inc.Environmentally Conscious Distribution Policies
Toray’s Basic Distribution Policies defines key policies relat-
ing to the equity and fairness of business transactions, and to 
environmental preservation. In addition to our ongoing efforts 
to reduce logistics-related environmental loads and improve 
quality, we also hold annual briefings on our Basic Distribu-
tion Policies to ensure that our logistics partners are fully 
conversant with Toray policies on logistics, and to enhance 
performance.

Training and Human Rights

Promoting Human Rights
Toray Group regards respect for human rights as a vital aspect 
of its business operations. In addition to our efforts to improve 
awareness of human rights, we totally prohibit discrimination 
based on ethnicity, beliefs, gender, educational background, 
nationality, religion, physical characteristics or other attributes. 
This prohibition applies to recruitment activities, deployment, 
remuneration, education and retirement. In compliance with 
international rules, including the United Nations Universal 
Declaration of Human Rights and the ILO Convention, we also 
prohibit forced labor and child labor. In addition, we are com-
mitted to full compliance with the laws and regulations of each 
country and region.

Retaining Key Employees
Protection of employment is a basic management policy of 
Toray Industries, Inc. Staffing adjustments are not made for 
short-term reasons, and we aim to provide stable, continuous 
employment for our core employees, regardless of economic 
trends or corporate performance. 
  Toray Group needs highly motivated employees capable 
of working globally and will actively recruit and train talented 
people in Japan and overseas. We will also continue to provide 
a wide range of training programs to strengthen the manage-
ment and market skills of employees at all levels and in all 
areas, to improve their knowledge of production technology 
and other specialist fields, and to enhance their ability to adapt 
to a globalized environment.

Promoting Diversity
Toray Group promotes diversity as part of its efforts to create 
energetic workplaces in which people from wide-ranging 
backgrounds can achieve their full potential. Throughout its 
history Toray has actively employed women and sought to 
create amenable working environments for them. In recent 
years, we have improved our systems to help both male and 
female workers achieve a healthy work-life balance for their 
chosen lifestyles. Our systems, which provide readily acces-
sible support according to the circumstances of individual 
employees, exceed the legally mandated requirements relat-
ing to childcare, care for aged and infirm family members, 
and maternity protection.

information, as the basis for mutual understanding with our 
wide-ranging stakeholders, including stockholders, customers, 
employees and local communities.

Stakeholder Communication
One way we communicate with stockholders and investors is 
through quarterly financial presentations. We also hold requi-
site briefings for individual investors. In addition, we communi-
cate directly with investors and analysts in individual meetings, 
as required. We also ensure fair disclosure of information by 
distributing annual reports and other documents, and by post-
ing information that is useful to stockholders and investors on

also attend our exhibitions and briefings.
  Various media, including in-house newsletters, the intranet 
and other methods, are used to communicate with employ-
ees. In addition to messages from the President, these chan-
nels are also used to share information about management 
and business topics and build understanding about these and 
other matters.
  Dialog with the local communities surrounding group 
companies, offices and plants is an important priority for Toray 
Group. Regular gatherings are held for local residents, includ-
ing briefings on our business activities and products. We also

Helping to Establish the Toray UsM Knowledge 
Transfer centre

Toray has been active in Malaysia since 
the 1970s. Today there are four group 
companies involved in fibers & textiles, 
plastics and other fields. Our fundamen-
tal approach to activities is to achieve 
growth through our local roots. In 1993, 
we established the Malaysia Toray 
Science Foundation with the aim of 
contributing to the advancement of sci-
ence and technology in Malaysia. Each 
year the Foundation awards prizes and 
grants, including support from Toray 
Group companies in Malaysia. 
  To commemorate the 40th anniversary 
of Toray’s presence in Malaysia, we do-
nated 4 million ringgits (approximately 
¥110 million) to the Universiti Sains 
Malaysia (USM) in Penang. The funds 
will be used to establish the Toray USM 
Knowledge Transfer Centre, a place for 
human resource development and the 

preservation and study of Malaysia’s 
culture, history and traditions. A build-
ing for the facility will be built on the 
main USM campus and is expected to 
complete in 2015. 
  The USM is one of Malaysia’s lead-
ing educational institutions. It is highly 
regarded for its research activity and 
was selected by the Ministry of Higher 
Education as the base for the Acceler-
ated Programme for Excellence (APEX).  
USM graduates work for Toray Group 
companies in Malaysia, and Toray Indus-
tries Inc. supports internship training for 
USM students. 

In keeping with its corporate phi-
losophy of “contributing to society 
through the creation of new value with 
innovative ideas, technologies and 
products,”Toray Group carries out a va-
riety of CSR initiatives focused on local 
communities.

Corporate Governance

Toray Group’s Basic Policy on Corporate 
Governance

Toray Group’s basic policy on corporate governance is 
contained in our Corporate Missions, which requires us 
to provide stockholders with dependable and trustworthy 
management. Our Corporate Guiding Principles require us 
to obtain the trust of society and meet the expectations by 
acting fairly while maintaining high ethical standards and a 
strong sense of responsibility and maintaining transparency in 
management.
  We regard these as our most important management 
policies.

Outline of Corporate Governance Structure and Rea-
sons for Adoption
Our Board of Directors has 26 members. As a company in the 
basic material sector, Toray is involved in a wide range of busi-
ness fields globally based on our core technologies, including 
organic synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry, biotechnol-
ogy and nanotechnology. Our present governance structure 
reflects our belief that when decisions are taken by members 
of the Board who have extensive knowledge of our business 
activities it helps us accomplish our management responsibili-
ties to stockholders.
  Toray operates under a corporate auditor system. Two 
members of the four-member Board of Corporate Auditors are 

outside corporate auditors. To ensure management transpar-
ency and objective and impartial management oversight, the 
Board of Corporate Auditors is completely independent from 
the Board of Directors. The selection of outside corporate au-
ditors is based on the stock exchange standards for decisions 
concerning the independence of independent auditors. The 
task of the outside corporate auditors is to improve oversight 
of the performance of duties by members of the Board from 
an independent perspective.

Basic Policy on Internal Control Systems and Their 
Development
We develop and maintain internal control systems as a 
framework for the development of appropriate organizational 
structures, the formulation of rules and regulations, the dis-
semination of information and the monitoring of business 
operations. The purpose of these systems is to ensure that 
all Toray Group executives and employees are able to realize 
the Corporate Philosophy, Corporate Missions and Corporate 
Guiding Principles of Toray Group, as expressed in the words 
“contributing to society through the creation of new value with 
innovative ideas, technologies and products.” We review and 
improve these systems as required to ensure that our business 
operations are conducted efficiently and in compliance with 
the law. The following specific systems have been established.

lSystem to ensure that the execution of duties by members of the Board and employees comply with 

laws and regulations and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation

lSystem to ensure the efficient execution of duties by members of the Board

lSystem for preserving and managing information pertaining to the execution of duties by the members 

of the Board

lRules and other systems pertaining to controls over risks of loss

lSystem of reporting to corporate auditors and other systems for ensuring effective implementation of 

audits by corporate auditors

lItems pertaining to employees assisting with corporate auditors’ duties and items pertaining to the 

independence of said employees

The corporate auditors, including the outside corporate au-
ditors,  possess  considerable  expertise  of  financial  matters 
and  accounting.  They  thoroughly  monitor  the  execution  of 
duties by members of the Board by attending important cor-
porate  meetings,  including  meetings  of  the  Board  of  Direc-
tors, and meeting with all members of the Board, divisional 
and departmental general managers, and by conducting on-
site  audits  of  Toray  offices  and  plants  worldwide,  including 
subsidiaries and affiliated companies.
  The  corporate  auditors  also  work  closely  with  internal 

control  organizations.  For  example,  they  attend  as  observ-
ers  at  meetings  of  the  Corporate  Ethics  Committee,  which 
was established to promote corporate ethics and regulatory 
compliance as key elements of corporate social responsibil-
ity, and the Company-Wide Legal Compliance Committee.
  The  Audit  Department,  which  reports  directly  to  the 
President,  was  established  as  part  of  our  internal  control 
structure.  Its  task  is  to  conduct  internal  audits  of  Toray  and 
its subsidiaries and affiliated companies. Information is con-
tinually exchanged. For example, all audit reports submitted 
to  the  President  by  the  Audit  Department  are  also  submit-
ted to the corporate auditors.

3. Policy on Remuneration for Members of the Board and
  Corporate Auditors
Remuneration for members of the Board and corporate auditors 
consists of monthly remuneration, a bonus and stock acquisition 
rights in the form of stock options. The purpose of this structure is 
to ensure management transparency and fairness, and to provide 
enhanced incentives for the improvement of financial perfor-
mance and corporate value in the short-, medium- and long-term 
perspectives. Remuneration for corporate auditors consists of 
monthly remuneration and a bonus. 
  Furthermore, the amount of remuneration to directors and 
auditors members of the Board and corporate auditors is deter-
mined while taking into account the results of research conduct-
ed by a third-party organization to ensure objectivity.
  The maximum total amount of monthly remuneration is deter-
mined by resolution at the Ordinary General Meeting of Stock-
holders. Resolutions are passed as required to determine whether 
or not bonuses should be paid and the amount of such bonuses.
  General Ordinary Meetings of Stockholders set upper limits 
for the number of stock options granted to members of the 
Board as remuneration, and for the total amount of remunera-
tion provided. The Board of Directors determines the number of 
stock options granted to members of the Board within those lim-
its according to internal regulations established by the Company.

Corporate Ethics and Legal Compliance

Corporate ethics and legal compliance are among Toray Group’s 
most important management priorities. Our top management 

has established clear guidelines and provides proactive leader-
ship with the aim of ensuring that all Toray Group employees 
will maintain high ethical standards and a strong commitment to 
compliance with laws and regulations.

Framework for Promoting Corporate Ethics and Legal 
Compliance
Toray has established a Corporate Ethics Committee under the 
chairmanship of the President as a framework for cooperative 
initiatives by labor and management. This committee deliberates 
on all policies pertaining to corporate ethics. The Company-Wide 
Legal Compliance Committee works under the auspices of the 
Corporate Ethics Committee to promote independent activi-
ties, and is specifically tasked with advancing initiatives relating

to company-wide priorities. The committee’s administration is 
based on close communication between committee members, 
who are mainly section managers from each business line, and 
top management. All divisions, offices and plants have estab-
lished CSR/Legal Compliance Committees to carry out activities 
involving individual employees in their workplaces.

To ensure that all executives and employees, including 

contract, part-time and temporary employees, are fully informed 
about compliance requirements, we distribute copies of the Cor-
porate Ethics and Legal Compliance Handbook, which defines 
standards of conduct and provides detailed information about 
aspects that require special care. The Handbook is updated as 
required, such as when laws and regulations are amended.

The subsidiaries and affiliated companies in Japan and overseas 

have also established CSR/Legal Compliance Committees and 
are working to ensure consistent compliance by compiling similar 
codes of conduct, guidelines, handbooks and other materials.

Risk Management

We regard risk management as a fundamental element in the 
corporate management of Toray Group. Under our corporate risk 
management policies, which are administered over three-year 
cycles, we aim to identify and reduce potential risk factors in our 
business activities and prevent recurrences. We have also formu-
lated Crisis Management Regulations as the basis for the devel-
opment and administration of an Emergency Quick Response 
System designed to prevent emergency situations from expand-
ing and ensuring the early restoration of normal operations. 

Promotion of Group-Wide Risk Management
Under the corporate risk management system introduced in fiscal 
2008, we evaluate potential risk factors that could affect the busi-
ness operations of Toray Group from a group-wide perspective. 
This system consists of a series of specific steps based on the 
Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle. 
  Step 1 (Plan): A risk survey is carried out using questionnaires 
and interviews. Step 2: Results from these surveys are used to as-
sess risks, and the seriousness of potential risks is calculated by mul-
tiplying probability by impact. Step 3 (Do): A risk map is compiled 
based on findings from Step 2. This is used to provide an overview 
of all risks and identify major risks. Step 4: Priority risks are selected 
from among the risks identified through Step 3 (Group-Wide Risk 
Management Committee and CSR Committee) and countermea-
sures are implemented by the units concerned. Step 5 (Check, 
Act): Activities undertaken to reduce priority risks are checked 
and added, and follow-up measures are implemented (Group-
Wide Risk Management Committee and CSR Committee).
  Risk reduction measures relating to priority risks are imple-
mented by the units responsible for each risk category, or by 
working groups. The Group-Wide Risk Management Committee 

receives regular reports about priority risks and assesses prog-
ress toward the reduction of risks after seeking input from the 
director in charge of each area. 
  Working groups are established to take action in relation to 
the following types of priority risks. 
1. Information security risks

 Toray uses e-learning to provide security training for its execu-
tives. A total of 1,108 executives have completed this pro-
gram to date, which is designed to improve awareness among 
front-line management personnel. 

2. Supply-chain risks 

 Toray has developed initiatives to ensure that customer 
inquiries about conflict minerals are answered promptly and 
efficiently. Steps taken by affiliated companies in Japan and 
overseas in relation to conflict minerals are also checked. 

Crisis Management System
Toray’s Crisis Management Regulations set out basic principles 
for a group-wide response to serious risks affecting Toray Group. 
The purpose of the regulations is to ensure a consistent and com-
prehensive response in a crisis situation.
  When anti-Japanese demonstrations occurred in China in 
August 2012, Toray immediately established an Emergency Re-
sponse Headquarters in accordance with the Crisis Management 
Regulations. By implementing timely and effective measures, we 
were able to minimize the impact on Toray Group. 

Promotion of Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
We have always regarded major earthquakes as a significant risk 
factor. Activities under our Major Earthquake Business Continuity 
Plan include drills concerning the confirmation of personnel safety 
systems, including its effect on the supply chain. 

In the year ended March 31, 2013 (fiscal 2012), we applied 
lessons learned through the Great East Japan Earthquake to the 
development administration guidelines for a Company-Wide Re-
sponse Headquarters. We also conducted division-level drills on 
setting up a company-wide earthquake response headquarters 
based on a scenario in which a Tokyo is directly hit by a major 
earthquake. Around 1,000 people took part. 

In April 2013, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government enacted 
an ordinance concerning measures to assist people stranded by 
natural disasters. In accordance with the ordinance, Toray imple-
mented an e-learning program for all employees at its Tokyo Of-
fice concerning initial response measures in the event of a major 
earthquake. 
   Other measures include the introduction of a system to check 
the safety and whereabouts of employees at all Toray offices and 
plants, a program of earthquake strengthening for plant build-
ings, a review of continuity planning for corporate functions and 
key business operations, and the identification of potential prob-
lems affecting supply chains for each product. We are continu-
ally working to mitigate risk factors with the potential to affect 
business continuity.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

oVeRVIeW

InCoMe AnALYsIs

During the period covered by year ended March 31, 2013 (fiscal 
2012), the global economy on the whole remained under harsh 
conditions, as the European real economy’s protracted struggle 
with its sovereign debt problems continued while the Chinese 
economy  and  the  U.S.  economic  recovery  slowed  down.  The 
Japanese economy recovered at a gradual pace on the back of 
mainly reconstruction demand related to the Great East Japan 
Earthquake,  though  the  recovery  leveled  off  from  summer 
reflecting  primarily  the  global  economic  slowdown.  Since  the 
end of 2012, there have been some positive signs on the back 
of expectations for the economic measures by the administration 
led by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Under  such  circumstances,  Toray  Group  has  been 
implementing  the  growth  strategy  with  focus  on  pursuing 
business expansion in growth business fields and growth regions 
and  further  bolstering  its  total  cost  competitiveness  in 
accordance  with  the  medium-term  management  program 
“Project AP-G 2013.”

As a result, Toray Group achieved an increase in revenues from 

the previous fiscal year but earnings fell during the same period. 

net sales
Consolidated  net  sales  in  the  year  ended  March  31,  2013 
amounted to ¥1,592.3 billion, up 0.2% or ¥3.7 billion from the 
previous  fiscal  year.  Sales  increased  in  the  Carbon  Fiber 
Composite Materials, the Environment & Engineering, the Life 
Science segments and the Others.

sales by segment
Fibers & Textiles
Total  sales  in  this  segment  declined  ¥6.2  billion,  or  1.0%,  to 
¥632.2 billion.

In  Japan,  while  sales  of  industrial-use  materials  grew 
strongly fueled by factors including rising sales for automotive 
applications  reflecting  production  expansion  by  automobile 
manufacturers  in  the  first  half,  the  demand  showed  a 
decelerating  trend  in  the  second  half  as  the  subsidies  for 
purchase of eco-cars ended. Demand for apparel applications 
remained  weak  due  to  the  slowing  economy,  except  for 
functional  apparel  materials  for  fall  and  winter,  sales  of  which 
were strong. Overseas, in addition to sluggish demand in Asia 
given  the  impact  of  the  slowdown  in  the  United  States  and 
European  economies  and  deceleration  of  China’s  domestic 
demand,  both  production  and  sales  in  the  first  half  were 
affected by the floods in Thailand.

Plastics & Chemicals
Total sales in this segment decreased ¥2.0 billion, or 0.5%, to 
¥395.8 billion.

Sales  volume  of  engineering  plastics  for  automotive 
applications  in  the  resin  business  increased  in  the  first  half  on 
expanded production primarily by automobile manufacturers in 
Japan, though demand declined from the third quarter due to the 
ending  of  subsidies  for  purchase  of  eco-cars.  Overseas,  while 
freight  movement  of  general-purpose  ABS  resins  remained 
sluggish reflecting the continued stagnation in the Chinese market, 
sales of resin compounds, etc. for automotive applications in the 
United  States  expanded.  Demand  for  film  products  remained 
sluggish in Japan and overseas due to the worldwide economic 
slowdown, while price competition continued to intensify.

IT-related Products
Total  sales  in  this  segment  declined  ¥5.8  billion,  or  2.4%,  to 
¥237.6 billion.

Despite production adjustments for LCD panels caused by 
the slowdown in the flat-screen television market being almost 
over and production showing signs of recovery, the flat-screen 
television-related products including films and processed film 
products did not reach the levels marked in the same period a 
year  earlier,  as  recovery  in  demand  was  slow,  and  price 
competition  intensified.  Among  materials  for  small  and  mid-
sized  displays,  sales  of  smartphone-related  products 
increased,  while  those  for  other  applications  remained 
sluggish in general.

Carbon Fiber Composite Materials
Total  sales  in  this  segment  rose  ¥7.7  billion,  or  11.0%,  to 
¥77.6 billion.

Sales in aerospace and general industrial applications were 
strong,  as  demand  for  aircraft  applications  grew  and  that  for 
environmental  and  energy-related  applications,  including 
compressed  natural  gas  tank  applications,  expanded.  The 
recovery of the market for sporting goods applications stalled 
reflecting  the  economic  slowdown  in  Japan  and  abroad,  and 
price competition has been intensifying.

Environment & Engineering
Total  sales  in  this  segment  increased  ¥8.1  billion,  or  4.8%,  to 
¥178.4 billion.

Demand  for  water  treatment  membranes  was  sluggish  in 
main  markets  such  as  Europe,  the  United  States,  Middle  East 
and  China.  Japanese  subsidiaries  in  general  expanded  sales, 
while  an  engineering  subsidiary  was  affected  by  order  price 
declines due to intensifying competition.

Life Science
Total  sales  in  this  segment  were  up  ¥1.0  billion,  or  1.9%,  to 
¥56.6 billion.

Sales of medical products  including  TORAYLIGHTTM NV, a 
polysulfone  membrane  dialyzer,  and  TORAYMYXIN TM  a 
hemoperfusion  absorption  column  for  removing  endotoxins, 
increased strongly. Sales of pharmaceutical products, however, 
were affected by intensified competition as well as the lowering 

of  the  selling  price  under  the  National  Health  Insurance  price 
revision in April 2012.

Others
Net sales rose ¥0.8 billion, or 6.3%, to ¥14.1 billion.

Costs and expenses
The ratio of total costs and expenses to net sales for the year was 
94.8%, up 1.5 percentage points from the previous fiscal year. 

Consolidated  net  sales  increased  0.2%  year  on  year,  and 
cost of sales increased 1.5%. As a result, the cost of sales ratio 
increased 1.0 percentage points to 80.4%. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased ¥8.4 
billion, or 3.8%, to ¥228.2 billion. The ratio of selling, general 
and  administrative  expenses  to  net  sales  increased  0.5 
percentage points to 14.3%. 

R&D expenses increased ¥1.9 billion, or 3.7%, to ¥53.3 billion.

operating Income and net Income
Operating income fell ¥24.3 billion, or 22.5%, from the previous 
fiscal year, to ¥83.4 billion, while operating income to net sales 
fell 1.5 percentage points to 5.2%. 

By  segment,  operating  income  decreased  in  all  segments 

except for the Life Science segment and Others. 
  Operating income in the Fibers & Textiles segment fell ¥2.1 
billion, or 4.6%, from the previous fiscal year to ¥43.2 billion. Demand 
was soft in the Asia region, due to the economic situation in Europe 
and the United States and to the slowdown in Chinese demand, 
while first-half results were also affected by the floods in Thailand. 

In  the  Plastics  &  Chemicals  segment,  operating  income 
decreased  ¥9.1  billion,  or  33.2%  to  ¥18.3  billion.  In  the  resin 
business, demand decreased for automotive applications in Japan 
due to the end of eco-car subsidies, while overseas, the continued 
slowdown in the Chinese market led to lower movement of goods. 
In the film business, there was weakening demand due to such 
factors  as  the  worldwide  economic  slowdown,  as  well  as  the 
continued intensification of price competition.
  Operating  income  in  the  IT-related  Products  segment  fell 
¥11.6 billion, or 33.5%, to ¥23.0 billion. A major contributor was 
the weakness that emerged in small and mid-size display-related 
materials outside of smartphone-related products. 

In  the  Carbon  Fiber  Composite  Materials  segment, 
operating  income  decreased  from  the  previous  fiscal  year  by 
¥0.4 billion, or 4.8%, to ¥7.3 billion. Major contributors were the 
slow speed of demand recovery for sporting goods applications, 
as a result of a weak economy, both in Japan and overseas, and 
intensifying price competition. 
  Operating  income  in  the  Environment  &  Engineering 
segment fell ¥2.3 billion, or 46.2%, to ¥2.6 billion. Major factors 
include  cost  increases  at  a  construction  and  real  estate 
subsidiary and falling order prices stemming from intense price 
competition at an engineering subsidiary. 

In the Life Science segment, operating income rose ¥1.5 billion, 
or 24.7%, to ¥7.5 billion, boosted by strong sales expansion in 
medical products and other factors. 
  Operating income of Others increased ¥0.2 billion, or 16.7%, to 
¥1.6 billion.

In net other income (expenses), Toray Group reported ¥5.6 
billion in expenses, a ¥1.0 billion year-on-year decrease. Interest 
and dividend income was  generally even at ¥3.2 billion, while 
interest  expense  fell  ¥0.3  billion  to  ¥5.5  billion.  This  led  to  a 
¥0.4  billion  improvement  in  net  financial  expenses  to  ¥2.2 
billion.  Equity  in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  and 
affiliated companies increased ¥2.2 billion to ¥7.4 billion. Loss 
on impairment of fixed assets increased ¥1.7 billion year on year 
to ¥2.0 billion. Loss on sales and disposal of property, plant and 
equipment, net, increased by ¥0.4 billion to ¥4.4 billion. 

As a result of the above, income before income taxes and 
minority interests decreased ¥23.3 billion to ¥77.8 billion. After 
deductions for income taxes and minority interests in earnings 
of  consolidated  subsidiaries,  net  income  amounted  to  ¥48.5 
billion, down ¥15.7 billion from the previous fiscal year. 

Net income per share was ¥29.75, a decrease of ¥9.66. The 
Company declared a year-end cash dividend of ¥5.00 per share in 
light of the profit conditions for the year under review and the profit 
outlook for the next fiscal term. Added to the interim cash dividend, 
this brought the total annual dividend to ¥10.00 per share.

Assets
Total  assets  on  March  31,  2013,  stood  at  ¥1,731.8  billion,  up 
¥150.3 billion or 9.5% from the end of the previous fiscal year. 
This was mainly due to the increases in cash and time deposits, 
in  inventories  and  in  property,  plant  and  equipment,  net  of 
depreciation.

BUsIness RIsKs 

Operational  and  other  risks  faced  by  Toray  Group  that  could 
have  a  major  influence  on  the  decisions  of  investors  are 
described below. Toray Group works constantly to avoid such 
potential  risks,  minimize  their  impact,  and  build  a  system  to 
enable swift responses and accurate information disclosure on 

the  occurrence  of  unforeseen  situations.  Please  note  that  the 
risks described below are those identified by Toray Group when 
this annual report was produced, and do not represent all the 
operational and other risks that could affect Toray Group.

(1) Domestic and overseas demand and market trends
As a supplier of basic materials to a broad range of industries, 
Toray  Group  is  exposed  to  various  factors  that  could  cause  a 
sharp drop in demand for its products. These include changes in 
both  worldwide  and  regional  supply-demand  conditions, 
increased  use  of  substitute  materials,  and  changes  to  the 
purchasing policies of business partners. In addition to severe 
competition  with  other  companies,  Toray  Group’s  various 
businesses also face the risk of new players entering the market. 
Price  fluctuations,  stemming  from  the  reduction  of  National 
Health  Insurance  (NHI)  drug  prices  and  reimbursement  prices, 
also affect the pharmaceuticals and medical products business. 
Although  Toray  Group  takes  steps  to  maintain  its  competitive 
advantage,  a  decline  in  demand  for,  or  falling  prices  of,  such 
items, or the appearance of a credit risk affecting Toray Group’s 
business  partners,  could  have  a  negative  impact  on  Toray 
Group’s results of operations and financial conditions.

(2) Rising prices of fuel and raw materials
The prices of petrochemical raw materials and fuel used by Toray 
Group are subject to significant fluctuations. If Toray Group is 
unable to fully pass the increases in such prices on to its product 
prices, or cannot raise its product prices due to lack of progress in 
shifting to high-value-added products, its results of operations 
and financial conditions could be negatively affected.

(3)   Capital expenditures, joint ventures,  

— Unforeseen  introduction,  changes  or  abolition  of  laws  and 

alliances and acquisitions

Toray  Group  makes  capital  expenditures  in  a  wide  range  of 
business fields. Its other activities include formation of various 
joint ventures or strategic alliances with third parties, as well as 
business acquisitions.
  When Toray Group becomes involved in capital expenditures, 
joint ventures, alliances and acquisitions, it considers the potential 
for profitability and return on investment. However, there is not 
necessarily  any  guarantee  that  the  outcome  will  be  consistent 
with  expectations.  If  unforeseen  market  changes  or  significant 
discrepancies between actual results and initial business plans 
occur due to sudden changes in the operating environment, there 
could be a loss on impairment of fixed assets or equity in losses 
of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  and  affiliated  companies.  As  a 
result, Toray Group’s results of operations and financial conditions 
could be negatively affected.

(4)   Foreign currency, interest rate and  

securities market fluctuations

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect Toray Group’s 
consolidated financial statements when the financial statements 
of  the  overseas  operations  presented  in  local  currencies  are 
translated into yen. Toray Group takes measures, such as entering 
forward  exchange  contracts,  to  alleviate  risks  associated  with 
transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currencies.  However, 
unforeseen exchange rate fluctuations could have an impact on 
Toray Group’s results of operations and financial conditions. 
  Moreover,  changes  in  interest  rates  and  other  aspects  of 
financial  markets,  as  well  as  changes  in  the  value  of  securities 
and pension assets held by Toray Group, may have an impact 
on Toray Group’s results of operations and financial conditions.

(5)   Changes in assumptions on which forecasts are  

based that might affect employee retirement benefit 
obligations and deferred tax assets

Toray’s  consolidated  financial  statements  contain  employee 
retirement  benefit  obligations  based  on  future  pension 
payments calculated in accordance with certain criteria, as well 
as  deferred  tax  assets  stated  according  to  likely  tax  refunds 
based  on  taxable  income  estimates  for  the  future  fiscal  years. 
However,  if  changes  in  the  criteria  used  to  calculate  pension 
payments were to occur, or if fluctuations arose in the estimates 
of  future  taxable  income,  Toray  Group’s  results  of  operations 
and financial conditions could be affected.

(6) Overseas operations
Toray Group is developing a broad geographical presence, with 
operations  in  various  countries  of  Asia,  Europe,  and  the 
Americas.  Some  of  the  major  potential  risks  associated  with 
various  regions  are  summarized  below.  If  such  risks  were  to 
become reality, Toray Group’s results of operations and financial 
conditions could be negatively affected.

regulations such as changes in taxation systems

—Unforeseen economic or political events
—Social upheaval, including acts of terror or war

(7) Product liability 
Toray Group strives to supply the world’s best-in-class product 
quality.  However,  it  cannot  always  guarantee  against  a  major 
unforeseen quality problem. If quality-related serious situations 
were to occur, Toray Group’s results of operations and financial 
conditions could be negatively affected.

(8) Lawsuits
In the course of conducting its wide range of business activities, 
Toray  Group  faces  the  risk  of  being  targeted  by  legal  action 
pertaining  to  various  matters  such  as  intellectual  property, 
product liability, environment, and labor issues. If Toray Group 
were  subject  to  a  major  lawsuit,  its  results  of  operations  and 
financial conditions could be negatively affected.

(9)   Laws and regulations, taxes,  

competition policies and internal controls

Various laws and regulations apply in the countries and regions 
where  Toray  Group  conducts  its  business.  These  laws  and 
regulations  include  regulations  related  to  the  environment, 
commercial  trading,  labor,  intellectual  property,  taxation  and 
foreign  exchange,  investment  approval  protocols  and  import/
export controls, and policies on competition based on antitrust 
laws.  Through  the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  internal 
control systems, Toray Group endeavors to comply with all such 
laws  and  regulations.  However,  changes  to  such  laws  and 
regulations,  including  the  introduction  of  new  environmental 
regulations  and  taxes,  as  well  as  changes  to  the  corporate 
income tax rate could affect Toray Group’s results of operations 
and  financial  conditions.  Also,  if  Toray  Group  is  judged  as 
having  violated  such  laws  and  regulations,  is  subject  to 
government  sanctions  initiated  by  a  fair  trade  commission, 
receives  a  notice  of  correction  from  tax  authorities,  has  an 
employee who engages in illicit behavior, or is unable to uphold 
internal controls pertaining to financial statements, its results of 
operations and financial conditions could be negatively affected.

(10) Natural disasters and accidents
Toray Group places top priority on safety, accident prevention, 
and environmental preservation. To minimize losses caused by 
the  suspension  of  production,  Toray  Group  conducts  regular 
a c c i d e n t   p r e v e n t i o n   i n s p e c t i o n s ,   m a i n t e n a n c e   o f   i t s 
manufacturing  facilities,  and  safety  activities.  However,  the 
advent  of  a  major  natural  disaster  or  unprecedented  accident 
could cause damage to Toray Group’s manufacturing facilities, 
or could cause inadequate supply of raw materials, which could 
have  a  negative  impact  on  its  results  of  operations  and 
financial conditions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Toray Industries, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

1. sIGnIFICAnt ACCoUntInG PoLICIes

a) Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements
The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Toray 
Industries,  Inc.  (the  “Company”)  and  its  consolidated 
subsidiaries  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the 
provisions set forth in the Financial Instruments and Exchange 
Law  of  Japan  and  its  related  accounting  regulations,  and  in 
conformity  with  accounting  principles  and  practices  generally 
accepted in Japan, which are different in certain respects as to 
application  and  disclosure  requirements  of  International 
Financial Reporting Standards.

For  the  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements, 
the  accounting  policies  and  procedures  applied  to  a  parent 
company and its subsidiaries for similar transactions and events 
under  similar  circumstances  should  be  unified,  in  principle. 
However, financial statements prepared by overseas subsidiaries 
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
or  the  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in  the  United 
States tentatively may be used for the consolidation process. In 
addition,  some  items  should  be  adjusted  in  the  consolidation 
process so that net income is accurately accounted for, unless 
they are not material.

Certain  items  presented  in  the  original  consolidated 
financial statements in Japanese have been reclassified for the 
convenience of readers outside Japan.

b) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the 
accounts of the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries.

Assets  and  liabilities  of  the  consolidated  subsidiaries  are 
revalued to fair market value when the majority interest in the 
subsidiaries is purchased.

Investments  in  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  and  affiliated 

companies are accounted for by the equity method.

All  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have  been 
eliminated  in  consolidation.  The  difference  between  the 
acquisition cost and the underlying net assets of the subsidiaries 
is  recognized  as  goodwill  and  amortized  principally  over  its 
estimated useful life not exceeding twenty years on a straight-
line method.

c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013 and 2012 include 
cash,  short-term  time  deposits  which  may  be  withdrawn  on 
demand  without  diminution  of  principal  and  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Cash and cash equivalents consisted of:

Cash
Time deposits

Less — Time deposits with 
   maturities of over 3 months

Millions of yen

d) Financial Instruments
Derivatives:

 All derivatives are stated at fair value, with changes in fair 
value included in net income or loss for the period in which 
they  arise,  except  for  derivatives  that  are  designated  as 
“hedging instruments” (see Hedge Accounting below).

Securities:

 Held-to-maturity  debt  securities  that  the  Company  and  its 
consolidated subsidiaries have the intent to hold to maturity, 
are stated at cost after accounting for premium or discount on 
acquisition, which are amortized over the period to maturity.
   Other  securities  for  which  market  quotations  are 
available  are  stated  at  fair  value.  Net  unrealized  gains  or 
losses on these securities are reported as a separate item in 
net assets at a net-of-tax amount.
   Other securities for which market quotations are unavailable 
are stated at cost, except as stated in the paragraph below.

In  cases  where  the  fair  value  of  held-to-maturity  debt 
securities or other securities has declined significantly and 
such impairment of the value is not deemed temporary, those 
securities  are  written  down  to  fair  value  and  the  resulting 
losses are included in net income or loss for the period.

Hedge Accounting:

 Gains  or  losses  arising  from  changes  in  fair  value  of 
derivatives  designated  as  “hedging  instruments”  are 
deferred  as  a  separate  item  of  net  assets  at  a  net-of-tax 
amount  and  included  in  net  income  or  loss  in  the  same 
period  during  which  the  gains  and  losses  on  the  hedged 
items or transactions are recognized.

The derivatives designated  as hedging instruments by 
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are principally 
interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts. 
The related hedged items are trade accounts receivable and 
payable, long-term bank loans and debt securities issued by 
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have a  
policy to utilize the above hedging instruments in order to reduce  
their exposure to the risk of interest rate and foreign currency 
fluctuations. Thus, their purchases of the hedging instruments are 
limited to, at maximum, the amounts of the hedged items.

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries evaluate 
the  effectiveness  of  hedging  activities  by  reference  to  the 
accumulated  gains  or  losses  on  the  hedging  instruments 
and the related hedged items from the commencement of 
the hedges.

e) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries, an 
allowance  for  doubtful  accounts,  including  receivables  and 
loans, is determined from the amounts considered unlikely to be 
recovered, estimated from past actual bad debt ratio records for 
general  receivables  and  from  studying  the  probability  of 
recovery in individual cases where there is concern over claims.

f) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition cost, principally 
determined by the moving average method, or net selling value 
to reflect any decreased profitability of inventories.

g) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.

Depreciation  for  property,  plant  and  equipment  (except 
leased  assets)  of  the  Company  and  its  domestic  consolidated 
subsidiaries  is  principally  computed  by  the  declining  balance 
method, and depreciation for those of its overseas consolidated 
subsidiaries is principally computed by the straight-line method 
at rates based on estimated useful lives that are as follows:

Buildings 

  Machinery and equipment 

3–60 years
3–15 years

Principally,  a  depreciation  method  of  leased  assets  is 
identical to the method applicable to its own fixed assets. In the 
Company  and  its  domestic  consolidated  subsidiaries,  finance 
lease transactions which do not transfer ownership of the leased 
assets whose lease inceptions are on or before March 31, 2008 
are accounted for by a method similar to the method applicable 
to ordinary operating lease transactions.

h) Income Taxes
Income  taxes  of  the  Company  and  its  domestic  consolidated 
subsidiaries consist of corporate income taxes, local inhabitants 
taxes  and  enterprise  taxes.  Deferred  income  taxes  are 
determined  using  the  asset  and  liability  approach,  where 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary 
differences  between  the  tax  basis  of  assets  and  liabilities  and 
their  reported  amount  in  the  financial  statements.  The 
Company also provides for the anticipated tax effect of future 
remittances  of  retained  earnings  from  overseas  subsidiaries 
and affiliated companies.

i) Retirement Benefits
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries have 
an  unfunded  lump-sum  benefit  plan,  a  funded  contributory 
pension plan and a defined contribution pension plan covering 
all eligible employees.

Under  the  terms  of  the  unfunded  lump-sum  benefit  plan, 
eligible employees are entitled under most circumstances, upon 
mandatory  retirement  or  earlier  voluntary  severance,  to 
indemnities  based  on  compensation  at  the  time  of  severance 
and years of service.

The  funded  contributory  pension  plan  and  the  defined 
contribution pension plan provide, in general, pension payments 
for life commencing from age 60.

Accrued  employees’  retirement  benefits  represents  the 
estimated  present  value  of  projected  benefit  obligations  in 
excess  of  the  fair  value  of  the  plan  assets  except  that,  as 
permitted  under  the  standard,  unrecognized  actuarial 
differences  and  unrecognized  prior  service  cost  are  amortized 
on a straight-line basis over a period of 15 years.

Allowance for retirement benefits for members of the Board 

and  corporate  auditors  (“executives”)  of  the  Company  and 
certain  of  its  domestic  consolidated  subsidiaries  is  provided 
based on the companies’ pertinent rules and is calculated as the 
estimated amount which would be payable if all executives were 
to  retire  at  the  balance  sheet  date.  Any  amounts  payable  to 
executives upon retirement are subject to approval at the annual 
stockholders’ meeting.  The amount is included in “customers’ 
guarantee  deposits  and  other  liabilities”  on  the  consolidated 
balance sheets.

j) Appropriation of Retained Earnings
Cash  dividends  are  recorded  in  the  fiscal  year  when  the 
proposed appropriation of retained earnings is approved by the 
Board of Directors and/or stockholders.

k) Foreign Currency Transactions
All  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies, whether long-term or short-term, are translated into 
Japanese  yen  at  the  exchange  rates  prevailing  at  the  balance 
sheet  date.  Resulting  gains  and  losses  are  included  in  net 
income or loss for the period.

l) Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements
Translation of foreign currency financial statements of overseas 
subsidiaries  into  Japanese  yen  for  consolidation  purposes  is 
made  by  using  the  current  exchange  rates  prevailing  at  their 
balance sheet dates, with the exception that the translation of 
stockholders’ equity is made by using historical rates. Revenue 
and expense accounts are principally translated at the average 
exchange  rates  during  the  year.  Differences  in  yen  amounts 
arising from the use of different rates are presented as “foreign 
currency  translation  adjustments”  in  net  assets  except  for  the 
portion belonging to minority stockholders, which is included in 
“minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries” in net assets.

m) Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
On  May  17,  2012,  the  Accounting  Standards  Board  of  Japan 
(ASBJ)  issued  “Accounting  Standard  for  Retirement  Benefits” 
(ASBJ  Statement  No.26)  and  “Guidance  on  Accounting 
Standard  for  Retirement  Benefits”  (ASBJ  Guidance  No.25), 
which replaced the Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits 
that  had  been  issued  by  the  Business  Accounting  Council  in 
1998  with  an  effective  date  of  April  1,  2000  and  the  other 
related  practical  guidance,  being  followed  by  partial 
amendments from time to time through 2009.

(1)  Overview

 Revisions  apply  mainly  to  the  accounting  treatments  for 
unrecognized actuarial differences as well as unrecognized 
prior  service  costs,  the  calculation  methods  for  projected 
benefit obligations as well as service costs, and broadening 
disclosure  taking  into  consideration  improvements  to 
financial reporting and international trends.

(2)  Scheduled Date of Adoption

 The  revised  accounting  standard  and  guidance  are 
scheduled  to  be  adopted  from  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year

ending  March  31,  2014.  However,  revisions  to  the 
calculation  methods  for  projected  benefit  obligations  and 
service  costs  are  scheduled  to  be  adopted  from  the 
beginning of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

(3)   Impact of Adopting Revised Accounting Standard  

and Guidance
 The  impact  of  adopting  the  revised  accounting  standard 
and  guidance  on  consolidated  financial  statements  is 
currently under evaluation.

2. U.s. DoLLAR AMoUnts

The  Company  and  its  domestic  consolidated  subsidiaries 
maintain  their  accounting  records  in  yen.  The  U.S.  dollar 
amounts  included  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial 
statements and notes thereto represent the arithmetic results of 
translating yen into U.S. dollars at the rate of ¥94 to $1.00, the 
approximate exchange rate prevailing on March 31, 2013. The 

inclusion  of  such  U.S.  dollar  amounts  is  solely  for  the 
convenience  of  readers  outside  Japan  and  is  not  intended  to 
imply that yen amounts and assets and liabilities that originated 
in  yen  have  been  or  could  be  readily  converted,  realized  or 
settled in U.S. dollars at this or at any other rate.

5. FInAnCIAL InstRUMents

Conditions of Financial Instruments
a) Policy in Relation to Financial Instruments
The policy of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is 
to manage funds only by short-term deposits, etc. and to raise 
funds  by  borrowing  from  banks  and  issuing  corporate  bonds. 
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries use derivatives 
to hedge risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates 
and  fluctuations  of  borrowing  interest  rates  and  do  not  enter 
into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

b)   Contents and Risk of Financial Instruments and  

Risk Management System

Trade  receivables  are  operating  receivables  and  therefore  are 
exposed to customer credit risk. Under their internal regulations, 
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries carefully manage 
payment periods for receivables and outstanding balances of all 
customers  and  regularly  monitor  the  credit  standing  of  major 
clients.  Operating  receivables  and  payables  denominated  in 
foreign currencies that arise from the global business operations 
are  also  exposed  to  foreign  currency  exchange  risk.  The 
Company  and  its  consolidated  subsidiaries  hedge  this  risk 
mainly through the use of forward exchange contracts against 
positions after netting receivables and payables denominated in 
the  same  foreign  currencies.  Likewise,  the  Company  and  its 
consolidated subsidiaries mainly use currency swaps to hedge 
the foreign currency exchange risk of bank loans denominated 
in foreign currencies.

Investment securities are exposed to the risk of market price 
fluctuations.  Most  of  these  securities  are  the  shares  of 
corporations  with  which  the  Company  and  its  consolidated 
subsidiaries have business relationships.

The fair value and financial positions of the issuing entities 

(clients) are regularly monitored.

Trade payables are operating payables, most of which are 

due and payable within one year.

Short-term bank loans and commercial paper are financing 
instruments  mainly  for  operating  transactions,  while  long-term 
bank  loans  and  bonds  (due  within  ten  years,  in  principle)  are 
primarily  for  capital  expenditures.  Bank  loans  and  bonds  are 
exposed  to  the  risk  of  interest  rate  fluctuation.  Bank  loans  at 
floating interest rates carry the risk of higher interest expenses 
when  rates  rise,  while  bank  loans  and  bonds  at  fixed  interest 
rates carry the risk of higher interest expenses when rates fall. 
The  Company  and  its  consolidated  subsidiaries  use  derivative 
transactions (interest rate swap transactions) to minimize the risk 
of interest rate fluctuation, taking into consideration the balance 
between fixed interest rates and floating interest rates.

Hedging instruments, hedged items, the policy for utilizing 
such  hedging  instruments  and  the  method  for  evaluating  the 
effectiveness  of  hedging  activities  are  described  in  Note  1. 
S I G N I F I C A N T   A C C O U N T I N G   P O L I C I E S   d )   F i n a n c i a l 
I n s t r u m e n t s ,   H e d g e   A c c o u n t i n g   i n   t h e   N o t e s   t o   t h e 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative  transactions  are  executed  and  managed  in 
accordance  with  the  internal  regulations  prescribing  the 
authorization  for  transactions.  To  mitigate  credit  risk,  the 
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries carry out derivative 
transactions only with highly rated financial institutions.

c)   Supplemental Explanation on Fair Value of  

Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is based on market prices, 
or  reasonable  estimate  of  fair  value  for  instruments  for  which 
market  prices  are  not  available.  Estimates  of  fair  value  are 

76

TORay INDuSTRIES, INC.

aNNuaL REPORT 2013

77

 
 
 
 
 
 
subject to fluctuation because they employ various factors and 
assumptions. In addition, the contract amount of derivatives in 
Note 7. DERIVATIVES in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial 

Statements  is  not  an  indicator  of  market  risk  associated  with 
derivative transactions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Carrying value, fair value and unrealized gain (loss) as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows.
In addition, financial instruments, for which it is extremely difficult to measure the fair value, are not included. (Please refer to Note 2 below).

Notes:
1. Estimation method for fair value of financial instruments and items related to securities and derivative transactions
  Assets

 Cash and time deposits and Trade receivables

 Carrying value is used for fair value since the items will be settled within the short term and the fair value is approximately equal 
to the carrying value.

Investment securities

 Securities are valued at quoted market price. Debt securities are valued at quoted market price or at the price provided by 
correspondent  financial  institutions.  For  information  on  securities  classified  by  holding  purpose,  please  refer  to  Note  6. 
SECURITIES of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

  Liabilities

 Trade payables, Short-term bank loans and Commercial paper

 Carrying value is used for fair value since the items will be settled within the short term and the fair value is approximately equal 
to the carrying value.

  Bonds

 The fair value of bonds issued by the Company is based on market price. However, in cases where the special accounting 
method for interest rate swaps is applied, the fair value is approximately equal to the carrying value because the interest rates 
fluctuate and are adjusted periodically. Therefore, the fair value is based on the carrying value.

  Long-term bank loans

 The  fair  value  of  long-term  bank  loans  is  estimated  by  discounting  the  principal  amounts  and  interest  based  on  estimated 
interest rates if similar new loans were entered into in the current period. The fair value of long-term bank loans for which the 
special accounting method for interest rate swaps is applied is estimated by discounting the total principal amount and interest 
(accounted for together with the interest rate swaps) based on estimated interest rates if similar new loans were entered into in 
the current period. For long-term bank loans at floating interest rates, however, the fair value is approximately equal to the 
carrying value because the interest rates are adjusted periodically. Therefore, the fair value is based on the carrying value.

  Derivative transactions

  Please refer to Note 7. DERIVATIVES in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*1  Expected volatility is based on actual share prices during 8 years from August 5, 2004 to August 3, 2012.
*2  The expected holding period is calculated based on the service period of past members of the Board.
*3  This is based on the dividend for the year ended March 31, 2012.
*4  The risk-free interest rate is the yield on government bonds for the period that corresponds to the remaining life of the option.

Because it is difficult to reasonably estimate the number of options that will expire in the future, only the number of options that have 
actually forfeited is applied.

Basic  net  income  per  share  is  computed  based  on  the  net 
income attributable to stockholders of common stock and the 
weighted-average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock 
outstanding during the year. 

Diluted net income per share is computed based on the net 
income  available  for  distribution  to  the  stockholders  and  the 
weighted-average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock 
outstanding  during  the  year  after  giving  effect  to  the  dilutive 

potential  of  shares  of  common  stock  to  be  issued  upon  the 
exercise of warrants and stock acquisition rights.

Amounts  per  share  of  net  assets  are  computed  based  on 
the net assets available for distribution to the stockholders and 
the number of shares of common stock outstanding at year end.
Cash  dividends  per  share  represent  the  cash  dividends 
proposed by the Board of Directors applicable to the respective 
years together with any interim cash dividends paid.
