Profile

Toray Group is an integrated chemical industry group aiming to be a global top company in advanced materials based 

on the fi rm belief that, “as the foundation of products, materials have the power to bring about fundamental transfor-

mations in society.”

  Based on our core technologies of organic synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry, biotechnology, and nanotechnol-

ogy as the sources of value creation, we develop the Core Growth Driving Businesses of Fibers & Textiles and Plastics 

&  Chemicals,  Strategically  Expanding  Businesses  of  IT-related  Products  and  Carbon  Fiber  Composite  Materials,  and 

Intensively Developing and Expanding Businesses of Environment & Engineering and Life Science in 25 countries and 

regions around the world.

  Toray aims to be a corporate group with high value for all stakeholders and seeks to use the power of chemistry to 

address social issues worldwide guided by our corporate philosophy of “contributing to society through the creation of 

new value with innovative ideas, technologies and products.”

Corporate Philosophy

Contributing to society through the creation of new value with innovative ideas, technologies and products

Corporate Missions

For our customers 

To provide new value to our customers through high-quality products and superior services

For our employees 

To provide our employees with opportunities for self development in a challenging environment 

For our stockholders  To provide our stockholders with dependable and trustworthy management

For society 

To establish ties and develop mutual trust as a responsible corporate citizen

The Concept of our Corporate Slogan, “Innovation by Chemistry”

The Toray Group adopted “Innovation by Chemistry” as its corporate slogan in April 2006 as a 

declaration of our intention to use chemistry as the driving force in our aim “to become a top global corpo-

ration in advanced materials.”

The word “Chemistry” has two meanings. The obvious one is the science that forms the basis for the 

advanced materials which we supply. The other is rapport. For us, that means maintaining a good rapport 

with everyone who is involved with TORAY—customers, employees, stockholders, business partners, con-

sumers, and people in the local community—and maintaining good rapport among the companies in the 

TORAY group and strong connections among our business offi ces throughout the world.

“Innovation” is how we will realize our corporate philosophy of “Contributing to society through the 

creation of new value with innovative ideas, technologies and products.” “Innovation” refers not only to 

technological innovation but to our intention to pursue innovation in all aspects of our corporate activities.

History  shows  that  advanced  materials  created 
in one period become the core drivers of industry 
in the next period. This means materials, as used 
for  a  wide  range  of  products,  have  the  power  to 
potentially bring about a fundamental transforma-
tion in society and people’s lives.

One example is HEATTECH®, Toray’s collaborative 
development with UNIQLO, in 2003, integrating the 
best of our synthetic fi ber technologies to create the 
remarkably  comfortable  clothing  with  revolution-
ary  functionality.  HEATTECH®  has  achieved  com-
bination  of  various  functions  such  as  absorption 
and  heat  retention,  and  the  technology  is  further 

advancing, while its market is growing worldwide.

HEATTECH® is a registered trademark of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd.

Toray Group is harnessing the power of 
chemistry to help solve environmental, natural 
resource, and energy issues that affect us all. 

Toray  was  one  of  the  world’s  fi rst  manufacturers  to 
begin development of carbon fi ber composite materi-
als. Our tenacious drive to advance and commercial-
ize our innovations has created TORAYCA® and led to 
the Boeing Company using the material as a primary 
structure material of 787 Dreamliner, Boeing’s state-
of-the-art  passenger  plane,  for  signifi cant  reduc-
tions in weight and CO2 emissions. In other fi elds, the 
recent shale gas revolution is also generating demand 
for TORAYCA®, which is used in compressed natural 
gas (CNG) tanks for automobiles.
  Our desalination technology that converts seawater 
to safe drinking water also helps many water-hungry 
communities.  Toray’s  reverse  osmosis  water  treat-
ment  membranes  (RO),  which  are  created  from  our 
unique nanotechnology, are used in the world’s largest 
desalination plants such as in Algeria and Singapore. 
Expanding China’s economy is making growth in wa-
ter demand, thereby increasing construction of such 
plants. Our technology now provides daily life water 
to over 100 million people on the planet.

We are raising the quality of medical treatment 
and reducing the burden at healthcare facilities. 

Toray  Group  has  been  improving  the  quality  of 
healthcare  since  the  1970s  when  it  began  full-
fl edged development of pharmaceuticals and medi-
cal devices. We continue to develop new, innovative 
products,  such  as  the  FERON®  treatment  for  viral 
hepatitis and malignant tumor and the FILTRYZER® 
artifi cial  kidney  units.  These  products  are  playing 
important roles at healthcare facilities.

In  addition,  medical  uniforms  are  made  from 
our high-functional fi bers and textiles for increased 
hygiene  and  comfort,  and  patients’  wear  have 
become  much  more  convenient  with  our  materi-
als. Moreover, carbon fi ber composite materials are 
used as top panels for CT scanners to reduce patient 
radiation  exposure  due  to  their  high  radiolucency 
enabling highly accurate X-ray imaging even at low 
dosage levels.
  Toray  Group  will  continue  developing  pharma-
ceuticals  and  medical  devices  while  applying  its 
advanced materials to create new products and con-
tribute to the development in the life innovation fi eld.

ginally  but  remained  virtually  stagnant  in  Europe,  and 
economic  growth  rates  slowed  in  China  and  other 
emerging  countries.  The  U.S.  economy  continued 
expanding  at  a  moderate  pace  supported  by  improv-
ing  employment  and  steady  personal  consumption. 
The  Japanese  economy  continued  its  gradual  recov-
ery  trend  supported  by  a  fi rm  undertone  in  personal 
consumption and public investment, some movement 
toward  recovery  in  private-sector  capital  investment, 
and steadily improving employment conditions.

In  these  conditions,  the  Toray  Group  generated 
15.4%  year-on-year  growth  in  all  the  segments  to  a 
record-high ¥1,837.8 billion in consolidated net sales in 
fi scal 2013: the Fibers & Textiles, Plastics & Chemicals, 
IT-related Products, Carbon Fiber Composite Materials, 
Environment  &  Engineering,  Life  Science,  and  Others 
segments.  Operating  income  also  approached  record 
levels,  rising  26.1%  to  ¥105.3  billion,  and  net  income 
increased  23.0%  to  ¥59.6  billion.  Based  on  this  earn-
ings  performance  and  the  business  outlook  for  fi scal 
2014,  the  Company  declared  an  annual  dividend  of 
¥10.00 per share.

Proactive Management Initiatives of 
Project AP-G 2013
Next, I review Project AP-G 2013 medium-term manage-
ment program for the fi scal years 2011 to 2013, com-
pleted in fi scal 2013.
  Under  Project  AP-G  2013,  we  implemented  growth 
strategies guided by the core objective to “expand busi-
nesses in growth business fi elds and regions” and took 
steps to further strengthen our total cost competitive-
ness  with  the  aim  of  putting  us  in  a  position  to  fulfi ll 
our AP-Growth TORAY 2020 long-term corporate vision 
for our business structure and achieve the performance 
targets of consolidated net sales of ¥3 trillion and oper-
ating income of ¥300 billion around the year 2020.
  Project AP-G 2013 comprised three Group-wide proj-
ects:  the  Green  Innovation  Business  Expansion  (GR) 
Project focused on fi nding solutions for global environ-
mental,  natural  resource,  and  energy  issues,  the  Asia 
and Emerging Country Business Expansion (AE) Project 
to develop growth strategies for those regions, and the 
Total Cost Reduction (TC-II) Project.
  Our efforts proved successful, as we steadily advanced 
our growth strategies and exceeded our project’s sales 
target. We also made investments for global growth in all 
of our business segments and advanced R&D for major 
new products and technologies for the future.

Green Innovation Business Expansion 
Project Targets Exceeded
The Green Innovation Business Expansion (GR) Project 
is a strategy to establish the Group as the leading player 
in the global markets for carbon fi ber composite mate-
rials,  water  treatment  membranes,  battery  materials, 
and biomass materials. Green Innovation Business net 
sales reached ¥575.0 billion in fi scal 2013, substantially 
exceeding our initial ¥500 billion target for the year.
  Key  GR  Project  Developments  under  Project  AP-G 
2013 in Fiscal 2013 were as follows.

Carbon Fiber Composite Materials
• Resolved  to  expand  production  capacity  at  the  four 
global bases in Japan, the U.S., France, and South Korea.

in June 2013 and the U.S. in January 2014)

• Established  or  invested  in  automotive  parts  manufac-
turing  companies  in  Japan,  Asia,  the  U.S.,  and  Europe. 
(Europe in March 2011, Japan and Asia in April 2013, the 
U.S. in July 2013)

• Acquired and made Zoltek Companies, Inc., a large tow 
carbon  fi ber  manufacturer  in  the  U.S.,  a  wholly  owned 
subsidiary. (February 2014)

venture,  Toray  Membrane  Middle  East  LLC,  with  the 
Abunayyan Holding Company, a strategic business group 
partner in the electric power and water desalination fi eld 
in Saudi Arabia (February 2014)

Printing Plate Materials
• Constructed  and  started  operation  of  a  waterless  print-
ing  plate  manufacturing  plant  in  the  Czech  Republic 
(November 2013)

Biomass Materials
• Successfully  test  produced  the  world’s  fi rst  100%  bio-

based polyester fi ber (November 2011)

Asia and Emerging Country Business 
Expansion Project Targets at Target Level
The  Asia  and  Emerging  Country  Business  Expansion 
(AE)  Project  is  a  strategy  for  investing  in  business 
growth and establishing and expanding business bases 
in regions of expected growth around the world. Sales 
in growth countries and regions grew to ¥708.6 billion 
in fi scal 2013, which was very close to our target level, 
and sales to Asian and emerging countries increased to 
39% of total sales.
  Key  AE  Project  Developments  under  Project  AP-G 
2013 in Fiscal 2013 were as follows.

TC-II Project Targets Exceeded, but the 
Revenue Environment becomes Severer
In the second half period of the AP-G 2013 Project, we 
confronted  the  harsh  business  environment,  which 
included  the  persisting  recession  in  Europe  following 
the  sovereign  debt  crisis,  slowing  economic  growth 
in China, and sluggish growth in emerging economies 
triggered by the tapering of monetary easing policy in 
the  U.S.  We  also  faced  unexpectedly  strong  revenue 
pressure in the IT-related segment from inert growth for 
liquid crystal display (LCD) panels for TVs and weaken-
ing PDP demand, which led to falling PDP material and 
component prices, and in the Plastics & Chemicals seg-
ment from declining polyester fi lm prices.

In  these  rapidly  changing  business  conditions,  we 
continued  rigorously 
implementing  the  Total  Cost 
Reduction  (TC-II)  Project  toward  our  three-year  target 
to cut variable costs by 10% (3% or more per year) or 
by over ¥70 billion from the FY2010 level and ultimately 
reduced variable costs by ¥75.7 billion, marking a 11.4% 
reduction. We also reduced fi xed costs by ¥46.3 billion 
relative to the three year budget and maintained a per-
formance ratio of 1.0, meeting our objective of holding 
it at 1.0 or lower. The P-ratio, which is derived by dividing 
the fi xed cost growth rate by the marginal profi t growth 
rate, is a benchmark indicator we introduced for the cur-
rent business expansion phase to ensure that the rise in 
fi xed costs is proportionate to our profi t levels.

Forecast for Double-digit Sales and Profi t 
Growth in Fiscal 2014
In  fi scal  2014,  the  fi rst  year  of  the  new  three-year 
medium-term management program Project AP-G 2016, 
we anticipate our investments for growth through plant 
construction  and  expansion  for  polypropylene  spun-
bond, airbag fi bers, high-performance fi lms, carbon fi ber, 
high-performance  resins,  and  other  products  to  gener-
ate expanding production output and  sales  around  the 
world.  At  the  same  time,  we  will  continue  endeavor-
ing to reduce our total costs. Based on this outlook, we 
forecast double-digit growth in sales and profi t in fi scal 
2014  with  consolidated  net  sales  rising  to  ¥2,150  bil-
lion, operating income to ¥130 billion, and net income 
to  ¥70  billion.  Beginning  in  fi scal  2014,  the  Company 
and its consolidated subsidiaries in Japan will change 
the method for calculating the depreciation costs of tan-

gible fi xed assets from the declining-balance method to 
the  straight-line  method.  We  estimate  that  the  effect 
will be a decrease of about ¥9.0 billion in depreciation 
costs in fi scal 2014.
  We  anticipate  overall  moderately  improving  global 
economic conditions during the year despite some lin-
gering  areas  of  concern.  We  also  anticipate  gradual 
recovery in business conditions in Japan, particularly in 
the second half of the fi scal year after temporary reper-
cussions from the consumption tax increase.
  Toray Group will continue constantly seeking to pio-
neer technological advances in the world and develop 
and commercialize leading-edge technologies and new 
materials under the fi rm belief that materials, as used 
for a wide range of products, have the power to bring 
about fundamental transformations in society. We will 
maintain  our  business  growth  track  by  emphasizing 
our capabilities in all aspects of our operating activities 
and by overcoming obstacles through thorough under-
standing and analysis of actual conditions. Through our 
products,  activities,  and  innovations,  we  will  continue 
creating new value that contributes to society.

Toray Group is following the completion of Project AP-G 2013 with the new medium-term management program 
Project AP-G 2016 for fi scal years 2014 to 2016 (April 2014 through March 2017).
  Project AP-G 2016 launches a new set of growth strategies to continue advancing and building on the previous 
project’s progress expanding businesses in growth fi elds and regions and establishing a robust business footing 
by cost reductions. We will also continue stressing “innovation and proactive management” to further advance 
our growth strategies and corporate structure reinforcement measures. The project also outlines plans for step-
ping up investment and R&D to broaden our businesses and enhance our future profi tability. Management also 
aims to continue to increase the dividend distribution amount linked to our results performance, while maintain-
ing a healthy fi nancial standing with a debt-to-equity ratio of one or below.

 
 
 
 
We will advance business expansion into domains 
where we can fully leverage Toray Group’s 
strengths and implement strategies and programs 
to become the global leader in each segment

The Key Principles of Project AP-G 2016 
Project  AP-G  2016  will  continue  to  drive  us  closer  to  our 
AP-Growth TORAY 2020 long-term corporate vision by con-
tinuing and deepening the Project AP-G 2013 initiatives for 
Green Innovation Business Expansion, Asia and Emerging 
Country Business Expansion, and Variable and Fixed Cost 
Reduction.  Furthermore,  we  will  broaden  these  three  to 

add new initiatives of Life Innovation Business Expansion, 
the Americas Business Expansion, and Production Process 
Innovation  and  Total  Operational  Cost  Reduction  in  Sales 
and Marketing.
  These  key  principles  will  guide  our  efforts  to  advance 
business expansion into domains where we can fully lever-
age Toray Group’s strengths and to implement strategies 
and  programs  to  become  the  global  leader  in  each  seg-
ment as we seek to attain fi scal 2016 performance targets 
of  consolidated  net  sales  of  ¥2,300  billion  and  operating 
income of ¥180 billion.

technological capabilities and strong business foundation to develop advanced materials and create new businesses with 
a focus on the Environment & Energy and Medical & Health fi elds.

We will expand businesses that contribute 
solutions to environmental as well as resource 
and energy issues

The  Green  Innovation  Business  Expansion  (GR)  Project 
calls for achieving net sales near ¥700 billion in fi scal 2016 
in fi elds that contribute to resolving environmental as well 
as resource and energy issues including energy conserva-
tion, new energy, biomass derivatives, water treatment, air 
purifi cation, low environmental burden, recycling, and pro-
cess innovation with the addition of shale gas development 
and related industries in priority fi elds. At the same time,

In the Environment & Energy fi eld, we will pursue business opportunities in the shale gas revolution to further acceler-
ate the growth of the Green Innovation businesses. In the Medical & Health fi eld, the Life Innovation Business Expansion 
Project  is  a  fundamental  strategy  as  we  expand  our  present  pharmaceutical  and  medical  businesses  and  implement 
growth strategies engaging Toray Group’s advantages such as advanced materials, core and fundamental technologies, 
and business platforms.

We will expand businesses that improve the 
quality of healthcare, ease the burden at medical

Project AP-G 2016’s Asia, Americas and Emerging Country 
Business Expansion (AE-II) Project adds the Americas to the 
target growth regions and a focus on strengthening organic 
collaboration  between  the  Group’s  overseas  bases  and 
establishing  new  business  bases.  The  fi scal  2016  perfor-

Initiatives in Asia and Emerging Countries
We  will  fully  leverage  the  solid  business  foundation  we 
have constructed in China to continue expanding business 
and  improving  profi tability.  We  will  also  introduce  high-
performance  products  to  meet  the  increasing  demand 
from  the  growing  market  for  high  value-added  products 
and for environmental solutions accompanying the coun-
try’s industrialization.

In  Indonesia,  Thailand,  and  Malaysia,  we  will  acceler-
ate development in our strength area of high value-added 
products and new business in the light of each country’s 
industrial  policy  and  level  of  industrial  sophistication.  In 
India,  we  will  expand  business  and  establish  new  pro-
duction bases. We will also expand our business in other 
emerging  countries  and  regions,  including  Central  and 
South America, the Middle East and Turkey, Russia, Central 
and Eastern Europe, and Africa.

Initiatives in the Americas
Toray Group views the Americas as a new driver of busi-
ness  expansion.  The  shale  gas  revolution  is  spurring  the 
U.S.  to  regain  industrial  competitiveness  and  to  rejuve-
nate the manufacturing industry while the development of 

new leading-edge technologies in the aircraft and energy 
industries in the country is generating growing demand for 
advanced materials.
  The  Toray  Group  purchased  approximately  400  acres 
(1.6  million  square  meters)  of  commercial  land  in  South 
Carolina  in  February  2014  and  plans  to  concentrate  man-
agement resources on preparing the site to become a new 
supply hub for advanced materials. 
  Our carbon fi ber composite materials business is one of 
our  core  operations  in  the  U.S.,  and  we  have  fully  integrat-
ed  production  systems  carrying  out  the  complete  process 
from raw material fi ber spinning to carbonization and produc-
tion equipment for prepreg intermediate material using high-
performance  TORAYCA®  carbon  fi ber.  We  are  planning  to 
expand our presence to meet the growing demand from the in-
creasing production of Boeing 787 aircraft and for compressed 
natural gas tanks and other energy-related applications.
  Each  of  the  textile,  resin,  and  carbon  fi ber  compos-
ite  businesses  is  considering  new  manufacturing  bases 
to  meet  the  rising  demand  in  North,  Central  and  South 
Americas  for  automotive  components.  Moreover,  we  are 
aggressively seeking to expand operations by entering new 
business areas and pursuing strategic M&A and alliances.

Constantly strengthening the corporate structure, 
creating a resilient business structure, and targeting 
the world’s highest level of cost competitiveness

The Total Cost Reduction (TC-III) Project, the third basic strat-
egy,  extends  and  deepens  the  focus  on  reducing  variable 

costs  and  strict  management  of  fi xed  costs  using  the  per-
formance ratio (P-ratio) from the TC-II Project of the previous 
Project AP-G 2013, while adding new initiatives for “produc-
tion  process  innovation”  and  “total  operational  cost  reduc-
tion in sales and marketing.” The TC-III Project targets cutting 
costs by a total of ¥200 billion from fi scal 2014 to 2016.

We will implement business strategies that 
encompass the complete supply chain and create 
profi t-generating sales channels to expand global 
business revenue

The  fourth  basic  strategy  is  “strengthening  sales  and  mar-
keting.” We will bolster our sales capabilities by horizontally 
developing business operations modeled after the Fibers & 
Textiles segment and the Carbon Fiber Composite Materials 
segment’s aircraft applications with strategies that encom-
pass the complete supply chain to create profi t-generating 
sales channels to expand global business revenues.
  To achieve this, we will develop a full-fl edged solutions 
business  and  strengthen  ties  with  key  customers.  Fur-
thermore,  we  will  implement  measures  aimed  at  elevat-
ing all of our products and businesses to leading positions 
around the world. We will also expand the businesses and 
cultivate  a  core  sales  staff  with  global  skill  sets.  In  addi-
tion, management resources will be focused on advancing 
the global business development and launching effective 
PR  strategies  to  raise  Toray  brand  recognition  and  brand 
strength overseas.

The  fi fth  basic  strategy  comprises  “R&D  strategies”  and 
“intellectual  property  strategies.”  Our  R&D  strategies 
will  entail  activating  Toray  Group’s  core  and  fundamental 
technologies,  and  business  platforms  to  focus  on  busi-
ness themes that generate primary, long-term competitive 
strength. Moreover, we will fortify peripheral areas to our 
core  products  and  technologies  in  addition  to  the  cores, 
work at research leading to advances into new fi elds and 
technologies,  and  pursue  production  process  innovation 
that  will  lead  to  future  core  technologies.  We  have  set  a 
budget  for  research  and  technology  development  dur-
ing the three years to 2016 of ¥180 billion with 50% to be 
applied to Green Innovation and 20% to Life Innovation.
  Our  intellectual  property  strategies  are  to  construct 
competitive entry barriers to our business arenas globally 
and to bolster the Toray Group’s technical advantages.

Business Alliance
  S T R AT E G I E S

The seventh basic strategy is set as “M&A and business 
alliance  strategies.”  We  will  pursue  M&A  and  alliances 
capable of generating advantageous synergy effects with 
our core technologies as an effective option for advancing 
our growth strategy and actively invest our management 
resources  in  rewarding  cases  for  realizing  the  business 
expansion required to become the global business leader. 
M&A funds will be allocated and used based on strategic 
decisions and will not utilize funds from the capital invest-
ment budget.

The effective application of these strategies will require 
highly capable human resources in key position in each 
of the target areas. We will secure and cultivate highly 
skilled  employees  capable  of  driving  dramatic  growth 
of our global operations. Based on our business strate-
gies, we actively rotate staff among Toray and affi liated 
companies in Japan and abroad, securing and cultivat-
ing core human resources, and optimally assigning per-
sonnel throughout the Group. In overseas businesses, 
we will also work to secure and cultivate local core staff 
to carry out business operations.
  Furthermore,  we  aim  to  secure  and  cultivate  per-
sonnel with global skill sets, the ability to make on-site 
decisions and provide leadership on the front lines, and 
to  formulate  effective  action  plans  for  new  business 
development,  structural  reform,  and  other  key  strate-
gies. We will continue to employ and cultivate a diverse 
staff  of  men  and  women  from  around  the  world  and 
provide a full range of training programs along with on-
the-job  training  to  further  augment  each  employee’s 
professional expertise.

Summary of Consolidated Financial Results for the Year 
Ended March 31, 2014 (Fiscal 2013)
Fibers & Textiles segment net sales increased 19.5% year on year to 
¥755.5 billion. Operating income increased 22.4% to ¥52.9 billion.

In  Japan,  while  sales  of  functional  apparel  applications  grew 
strongly,  those  of  general  apparel  applications,  though  show-
ing signs of recovery, remained weak. On the other hand, exports 
recovered partly due to the correction in the strong yen. Sales for 
industrial applications, led by automobile-related applications, con-
tinued on track to recovery.
  Overseas,  while  the  conditions  continued  to  be  tough  with 
Europe remaining mired in economic slump and sluggish domestic 
demand in China, textile subsidiaries in Southeast Asia and China 
pursued sales expansion and a shift towards high value added prod-
ucts.  Also,  while  the  fl oods  in  Thailand  that  occurred  in  October 
2011 had affected the operations in the same period a year earlier, 
the production and sales recovered since then, contributing to the 
improved performance.

Outlook for the Year Ending March 2015 (Fiscal 2014)
In Japan, despite continuous signs of recovery in demand for apparel 
applications, it is forecast that demand will be weak centered in the 
fi rst half partially due to the fallback from advance demand before the 
expected consumption tax increase. The impact of rising raw mate-
rial and fuel prices is also a concern. Overseas, the economic condi-
tions in the U.S. and emerging countries will generally remain steady, 
while demand will stagnate in Europe and remains weak in China.

In this business environment, the Fibers & Textiles segment will 
continue  fortifying  and  expanding  the  integrated  operations  from 
fi bers  and  textiles  to  end  products  businesses,  which  are  Toray’s 
areas of strong advantage, and seek to expand sales for automobile 
airbag, disposable diaper, and environmental applications and other 
growth fi elds as well as in China, emerging countries, the U.S., and 
other growth regions. We will also strengthen the segment’s cor-
porate  structure  through  cost  reduction  and  other  measures  and 
aim to achieve earnings growth and global business expansion as 
expected of Toray’s Core Growth Driving Business.

High-performance Polypropylene 
Spunbond Capacity to be Expanded 
in China
Toray has decided to expand the production 
facilities  of  the  high-performance  polypro-
pylene  spunbond  (PP  spunbond)  business 
of Toray Polytech (Nantong) Co., Ltd. (TPN). 
The  new  facility  will  have  an  annual  pro-
duction  capacity  of  about  20,000  tons, 
increasing  TPN’s  annual  capacity  to  about 
78,000  tons.  Production  at  the  new  facil-
ity is scheduled to start in December 2014 
and will bring the Toray Group’s annual pro-
duction capacity for PP spunbond to about 
141,000  tons.  The  Toray  Group  currently 
produces PP spunbond at production facili-
ties in Korea, China, and Indonesia, where 
the  production  started  in  June  2013,  for 
markets  in  Japan,  Korea,  China,  India, 
ASEAN countries, and throughout in Asia.
  The expanding market for disposable dia-
pers  for  babies  and  infants  is  expected  to 
boost  annual  demand  for  PP  spunbond  in 
Asia from an estimated 290,000 tons in 2012 
to  750,000  tons  in  2020.  Toray  is  preparing 
for the demand growth and developing prod-
ucts to meet the need for high-performance 
disposable diaper materials.

Summary of Consolidated Financial Results for the Year 
Ended March 31, 2014 (Fiscal 2013)
Plastics  &  Chemicals  segment  net  sales  increased  18.9%  year 
on  year  to  ¥470.5  billion.  Operating  income  declined  1.6%  to 
¥18.0 billion.
    Though  sales  for  automotive  applications  in  the  resin  business 
increased  in  Japan,  those  for  electronics  and  general  industrial 
applications remained weak. The business was also affected by the 
increase in raw material prices resulting from the correction of the 
strong  yen.  Overseas,  automotive  applications  in  North  America, 
China and Southeast Asia led the sales expansion. Demand for the 
fi lm  business’s  products  remained  sluggish  on  the  whole  within 
and outside Japan, with continued price competition, even though 
domestic sales for capacitors used in hybrid cars remained strong.
  Also, trading subsidiaries expanded their business transactions 
on the back of market recovery and strong overseas business.

Outlook for the Year Ending March 2015 (Fiscal 2014)
Economic  conditions  in  Japan  are  forecast  to  improve,  supported 
by brisk demand with particularly strong growth in high value-added 
fi elds,  amid  various  unstable  elements,  including  sharply  fl uctuat-
ing raw material and fuel costs. Overseas, demand is expected to 
recover worldwide, led by emerging countries.

In this business environment, in the plastic resins business, we 
plan to maximize sales of strong-selling products and expand sales 
in China, ASEAN, and emerging countries while quickly incorporat-
ing material and fuel costs rises into our product prices to maintain 
and expand the spread between these costs and sales prices. In the 
fi lms business, although we expect strong pressure from custom-
ers to lower prices, we will continue expanding sales of high value-
added products for packaging and industrial applications.

TORELINA® PPS Resin Production 
Base to be Constructed in South Korea
It has been decided to construct a new pro-
duction plant for the TORELINA® polyphen-
ylene sulfi de (PPS) resin at Toray Advanced 
Materials  Korea  Inc.,  a  100%  subsidiary. 
The  facility,  which  will  be  the  Toray’s  fi rst 
overseas production base for PPS resin, is 
scheduled to start operations in April 2016 
with an annual production capacity of 8,600 
tons, bringing the Group’s total annual pro-
duction  capacity  for  PPS  resin  to  27,600 
tons, combined with the Tokai Plant.
  The facility will be a highly cost compet-
itive operation with fully integrated produc-
tion  from  main  raw  materials  to  resin  and 
will  supply  products  to  resin  compounds 
bases  mainly  in  China,  excluding  portions 
used  in  South  Korea.  The  factory  will  also 
install resin compound lines for design and 
functionality  processing  with  an  annual 
capacity of 3,300 tons and is aiming to start 
precedent shipments in October 2015.
  PPS  resin  is  a  “super  engineering  plas-
tic” with superior mechanical strength and 
resistance to heat, chemicals, and fi re and 
is widely used in automotive electrical com-
ponents,  electrical  machinery,  electronic 
devices, offi ce automation equipment, and 
home  appliances.  Worldwide  demand  for 
compounds  was  estimated  at  70,000  tons 
in 2012 and is expected to continue grow-
ing at an annual pace of 8% or higher.

IT-related Products segment net sales increased 3.4% year on year 
to ¥245.7 billion. Operating income increased 7.1% to ¥24.6 billion.
  The sales of products for small and mid-sized displays such as 
smartphones and tablet terminals in general were strong, although 
they  were  partly  affected  by  the  production  adjustment  of  end 
products in the second half. Sales of fi lms and processed fi lm prod-
ucts for large LCD panels, after performing strongly in the fi rst half, 
were infl uenced by stagnating demand for fl at-screen TV sets in the 
second half.

Capacity Expanded for RAYBRID™ 
Photosensitive Functional Materials
In  September  2013,  Toray  expanded  its 
annual  production  capacity  six-fold  to  120 
tons for the RAYBRID™ photosensitive con-
ductive paste for touch panel wiring patterns.
  Narrowing  frame  sections  on  smart-
phones  and  tablet  devices  for  enlarging 
screen  sizes  are  requiring  increasingly  fi n-
er  conductive  wiring  to  convey  signals 
from  the  touch  panel  to  the  computer 
components.  Photolithography  is  gaining 
increasing  attention  as  a  method  for  cre-
ating  cellular  micro  patterns.  The  method 
involves coating a photosensitive paste on 
a  substrate  and  forming  a  wiring  pattern 
through  the  process  including  exposure, 
development, and fi ring.
  Toray’s RAYBRID™ is a photosensitive func-
tional  material  used  as  a  substrate  coating 
material  in  the  microfabrication  photolitho-
graphic  process  and  enables  microwiring 
through a photosensitive resin containing in-
organic particles with various functions. The 
Company  is  fortifying  its  RAYBRID™  mar-
keting efforts to expand sales in the smart-
phone  and  tablet  device  market,  which  is 
projected to grow to annual shipments of 2 
billion units in 2017.

Acquisition of Zoltek, of the U.S., 
Marks Entry to the Large Tow 
Carbon Fiber Business
Toray  purchased  all  shares  of  large  tow*1 
carbon  fi ber  manufacturer  Zoltek  Compa-
nies, Inc., of the U.S., and made the compa-
ny a wholly owned subsidiary.
  We expect global demand for carbon fi ber 
to grow by 15% or more annually not only 
for its energy-saving potential as lightweight 
material  but  for  its  capability  as  a  contrib-
utor  to  broader  use  of  oil  and  coal  alterna-
tive  energy  sources.  We  expect  widening 
use  of  regular  tow*2  carbon  fi ber  materials 
for applications requiring high performance 
and high quality, such as in aircrafts, as well 
as large tow materials, which offer an attrac-
tive  cost  and  performance  balance  for  use 
in wind-power generation equipment and as 
an automotive structural material. 
  After entering the large tow carbon fi ber 
business in 1988, Zoltek implemented com-
prehensive  measures  to  enhance  its  cost 
competitiveness and generated substantial 
business and earnings growth. 
  Toray had focused management resourc-
es  on  building  its  strength  in  regular  tow 
carbon fi ber, but did not offer any large tow 
products  and  was  seeking  an  entry  to  the 
rapidly growing market for general-purpose 
products. The acquisition of Zoltek provides 
opportunities for new growth.

*1  Large tow carbon fi ber is carbon fi ber with 40,000 or 

more fi laments.

*2  Regular  tow  carbon  fi ber  is  carbon  fi ber  with  up  to 

24,000 fi laments.

Summary of Consolidated Financial Results for the Year 
Ended March 31, 2014 (Fiscal 2013)
Environment & Engineering segment net sales increased 1.0% year 
on  year  to  ¥180.2  billion.  Operating  income  increased  143.4%  to 
¥6.4 billion.
  While  the  market  for  water  treatment  membranes  has  not  yet 
fully  recovered  refl ecting  continued  uncertainties  over  the  global 
economic outlook, shipment of reverse osmosis membranes to the 
Middle East was strong at Toray. Among domestic subsidiaries, the 
progress of plant construction projects remained slow at an engi-
neering subsidiary.

Outlook for the Year Ending March 2015 (Fiscal 2014)
We plan to expand sales while vastly cutting costs in the water treat-
ment  membranes  business  amid  expectations  of  improving  busi-
ness  conditions  worldwide  supported  by  ongoing  strong  business 
in Asia and gradually improving conditions in the U.S. and Europe. 

In the engineering business, we aim to increase orders for indus-

trial, solar cell, and lithium-ion battery equipment.

Summary of Consolidated Financial Results for the Year 
Ended March 31, 2014 (Fiscal 2013)
Life  Science  segment  net  sales  increased  2.8%  year  on  year  to 
¥58.2 billion. Operating income declined 24.8% to ¥5.6 billion.
  Sales of REMITCH®, an oral anti-pruritus drug for hemodialysis 
patients, expanded robustly, though other pharmaceutical products 
were  affected  by  intensifying  competition  and  royalty  income  on 
some  products  decreased.  In  medical  devices,  sales  in  Japan  as 
well  as  exports  of  FILTRYZER®,  polymethylmethacrylate  (PMMA) 
dialysis  membrane-based  hemodialyzer,  and  TORAYSULFONE®, 
polysulfone membrane artifi cial kidneys, grew strongly.

*REMITCH® is a registered trademark of Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Outlook for the Year Ending March 2015 (Fiscal 2014)
The  pharmaceutical  and  medical  device  markets  are  expected  to 
grow  steadily  overall,  even  as  competition  continues  intensifying 
from the introduction of a growing number of generic drugs.

In  these  conditions,  we  will  seek  to  further  expand  sales  of 
REMITCH®  as  well  as  of  dialyzers,  dialysis  equipment,  and  other 
medical devices. Toray Medical (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. in China started 
its production of dialyzers in March 2014 and launched sales for the 
Japanese market in April.

R&D Topics

Toray  successfully  developed  synthetic  fi ber  manufac-
turing technology capable of freely combining raw res-
ins  on  the  nanometer  order  and  the  school  uniform 
industry’s fi rst gym wear made from plant-based poly-
ester  fi ber.  Furthermore,  it  developed  the  MIRANY™ 
textile fabric using the fi nest nylon fi lament yarn of the 
world’s best quality standards.

Toray  successfully  developed  a  carbon  fi ber-reinforced 
polyphenylene  sulfi de  (PPS)  resin  that  can  be  used  for 
injection molding and has comparable tensile strength to 
aluminum die-cast. It also cooperated with Genomatica, 
Inc.,  of  the  U.S.,  in  successful  trial  polymerization  of  a 
partially biomass-based polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) 
at a medium-sized facility.

Toray  developed  a  heat-resistant  photosensitive  resist 
that vastly simplifi es the ion injection processes for sili-
con carbide semiconductor device manufacturing. The 
segment  also  developed  a  photosensitive  polyimide 
bonding fi lm with applications as a sealant material for 
miniaturized  electronic  components  and  high-density 
packaging.  Moreover,  it  achieved  the  world’s  highest 
degree of carrier mobility for a single-wall carbon nano-
tube (CNT) thin-fi lm transistor (TFT) coating. In addition, 
it developed and marketed a new product using photo-
sensitive conductive paste enabling touch panel wiring 
with 20 µm particle distribution.

Toray developed high tensile strength and modulus car-
bon  fi ber  TORAYCA®  T1100G  and  high-performance 
prepreg using TORAYCA® T1100G.

Toray  developed  a  high  permeability,  high  durabil-
ity  reverse  osmosis  membrane  that  operates  under 
ultralow pressure enabling 30% energy saving for water 
treatment. In amenity products, the segment developed 
and  launched  sales  of  the  compact  and  attractively 
designed  TORAYVINO™  Cassetty  307MX  faucet  water 
fi lter with high particle removal performance.

Following the positive response to its successful devel-
opment and marketing of the REMITCH®* Capsules 2.5 
µg, the world’s fi rst oral antipruritus drug with the selec-
tive  k-opioid  receptor  agonist  for  hemodialysis-related 
refractory  pruritus,  the  Life  Science  segment  received 
the National Invention Prize, “Inventor’s Award,” for the 
k-opioid receptor agonist nalfurafi ne hydrochloride.
*REMITCH® is a registered trademark of Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Corporate Research
In  the  corporate  research,  Toray  achieved  the  world’s 
highest  level  of  conversion  effi ciency  exceeding  10% 
of  a  single-layer  element  for  organic  membrane  solar 
cells. In new businesses, the adoption of Toray’s high 
sensitivity DNA microarray 3D-Gene® by the University 
of Cambridge, in England, prompted accelerating adop-
tion  of  the  biomarker  measurement  technology  in  the 
UK and across Europe.

1 Carbon fi ber composite materials 

for aircraft earns a 13th Okochi 
Memorial Prize

Toray was awarded the 60th Annual (Fiscal 2013) Okochi 
Memorial  Grand  Production  Prize  for  its  accomplish-
ment  developing  carbon  fi ber  composite  materials  for 
aircrafts. The Company was highly lauded for develop-
ing the TORAYCA® T800S/3900-2B prepreg, an interme-
diate composite material and establishing its production 
systems.  This  composite  was  selected  as  a  primary 
structure material by The Boeing Company for its state-
of-the-art Boeing 787 model, making it the world’s fi rst 
commercial aircraft with an all-composite primary struc-
ture.  The  Okochi  Memorial  Prize  is  awarded  in  Japan 
for outstanding achievements in industrial engineering, 
R&D  of  production  technologies,  and  the  implementa-
tion of advanced manufacturing systems. In the award’s 
60-year history, Toray has received the Okochi Memorial 
Prize 13 times, including in the previous fi scal year, and 
the prestigious Grand Production Prize three times.

2 Ultralow pressure, high durability 

reverse osmosis membrane 
achieves 30% energy saving

Toray  successfully  increased  number  of  fi ne  pores  in 
minute space in separating function layer material for 
improved water permeability while blocking other mol-
ecules,  such  as  sodium  ions.  It  enables  separation 
function layers to be formed with resistance to pore-
structural deterioration and superior durability even for 
chemical cleaning. 
   These  new  developments  in  RO  membrane  tech-
nology maintained the outstanding substance removal 
performance  while  improving  water  permeability  by 
1.5  times,  enabling  water  treatment  with  lower  pres-
sure and resulting in energy saving of about 30%. The 
membrane  is  expected  to  contribute  to  reduction  of 
water  treatment  costs  for  wastewater  treatment  and 
other  applications  where  low  water  quality  requires 
more frequent treatment.
    Toray is aiming to commercially launch the “ultralow 
pressure,  high  durability  RO  membrane”  in  2014  and 
actively  introduce  it  to  the  rapidly  expanding  Asian 
markets including China and India as well as Europe, 
North America, and other regions.

Intellectual  property  strategies  must  be  organically  linked 
to  business  strategies  and  R&D  strategies.  Toray  pursues 
an intellectual property strategy with coordination of these 
three areas in line with management policies.
  While  continuing  to  create  innovative  new  materials 
and  technologies,  Toray  seeks  to  fi rmly  maintain  its  tech-
nical advantages by pursuing an intellectual property strat-
egy comprising the following four points, the realization of 
which would be entry barriers for competitors.

1.  Further enhance the quality of patents
2.  Construct a globally competitive network of patents
3.  Protect the Company’s technical advantages with effec-
tive measures including strategic patent applications
4.  Cultivate  personnel  with  deep  knowledge  of  overseas 

intellectual property

The  Company  is  currently  stepping  up  patent  applications 
and  rights  acquisitions  and  constructing  a  strong  patent 
portfolio globally with a priority in the growth areas of the 
Project  AP-G  2016  medium-term  management  program’s 
Green Innovation Business Expansion (GR) Project and Life 
Innovation Business Expansion (LI) Project.
  Under the Asia, America and Emerging Country Business 
Expansion  (AE-II)  Project,  the  Company  is  formulating  and 
advancing  intellectual  property  strategies  correlated  with 
the business strategies and R&D strategies that Toray Group 
is implementing globally with a focus on growth countries 
and  regions  showing  promise  for  future  business  expan-
sion. While fortifying Toray’s patent applications and rights 
acquisitions overseas, Toray Group companies overseas are 
also  stepping  up  patent  application  and  rights  acquisition 
activities  to  properly  protect  inventions  created  at  Group 
R&D bases worldwide.

Toray Group views the objective of CSR to be to realize 
sustainable social and corporate development by apply-
ing “Response + Ability” to social issues and changes.
  Throughout our history, our mission has been to con-
tribute  to  society  through  our  core  business  activities 
following  our  Corporate  Philosophy  of  “contributing  to 
society through the creation of new value with innovative 
ideas, technologies and products,” and our Management 
Philosophy is to realize this mission by fulfi lling our CSR. 
  Our  Management  Philosophy  is  also  supported  by 
our  Corporate  Ethics  and  Legal  Compliance  Code  of 
Conduct,  which  provide  a  reference  for  specifi c  stan-
dards of conduct for all employees.

  Progress  we  have  achieved  in  implementing  the 
Company’s  Fourth  CSR  Road  Map  launched  in  fi scal 
2011  includes  life  cycle  management  (LCM)  analysis 
of  our  core  products,  the  achievement  and  third-party 
verifi cation  of  greenhouse  gas  (GHG)  emissions  reduc-
tion  targets,  reorganization  of  our  CSR  procurement 
structure,  creation  of  a  business  continuity  plan  (BCP) 
for  earthquakes,  and  improvement  of  our  priority  risk 
response preparedness.
  We  also  established 
interdepartmental  working 
groups and improved our response structure to incorpo-
rate newly emerging issues, such as confl ict minerals.

 
 
 
 
Environmental 
Management 
Initiatives

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 per-
spective  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 effi -
ciency analysis tool. We are now working to disseminate 
and consolidate these concepts.
  The International Council of Chemical Associations and 
the World Business Council of Sustainable Development 
in  October  2013  published  international  guidelines  for 
accounting for and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. 
Toray and the Japan Chemical Industry Association played 
a central role in the creation of the publication.
  The new guidelines are another step toward interna-
tional recognition of the Japanese guidelines published 
in February 2012 and are drawing attention as a Japan-
led movement for standardization that will infl uence the 
direction  of  rules  governing  the  measurement  of  CO2 
emissions  while  also  promoting  widespread  adoption 
of  the  fundamental  principles  of  the  Toray  LCM-based 
Environmental Management.

Toray  Group  was  an  early  adopter  of  greenhouse  gas 
(GHG) reduction initiatives aimed at realizing a sustain-
able  low-carbon  society.  Under  the  Fourth  Medium-
Term  Environmental  Plan  launched  in  fi scal  2011,  the 
Group  has  systematically  implemented  measures  to 
reduce  GHG  emissions,  including  improving  its  pro-
cesses  to  conserve  energy  and  installing  gas  cogene-
ration systems.

Voluntary Reduction in Atmospheric Emission of 
Chemical Substances
Toray  Group  regards  the  reduction  of  environmental 
loads,  including  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  imple-
menting  voluntary  initiatives  to  resolutely  achieve  the 
targets  of  fi scal  2015  for  reducing  emissions  of  sub-
stances  covered  by  the  PRTR  law  and  volatile  organic 
substances (VOCs).

Initiatives to Prevent Air and Water Pollution
Toray  Group’s  environmental  preservation  activities 
include  permanent  measures  to  prevent  air  and  water 
pollution at its production facilities. Efforts in Japan and 
overseas in recent years include installing desulfurization 
systems, converting to alternative fuels to reduce sulfur 
oxide  (SOx)  emissions,  and  expanding  our  wastewater 
treatment facilities and other measures to lower chemi-
cal oxygen demand (COD) levels.

Water Resource Management Initiatives
Toray  Group,  through  its  water  treatment  business,  is 
addressing  water  resource  issues  around  the  world 
based  on  the  following  principles.  The  Group  also 
takes steps to ensure the proper management of water 
resources used in its business activities, including using 
recycled water to enhance water usage effi ciency.

1. Toray Group recognizes that water is one of the most 
important resources for humanity, and that people are 
confronting  problems  related  to  water  resources  in 
many areas of the world.

2. Toray  Group  is  committed  to  helping  to  solve  global 
water resources problems through its products, tech-
nologies and services.

3. Toray  Group  continuously  monitors  the  state  of 
regional  water  resources,  and  conducts  appropriate 
management  of  water  resources  according  to  the 
basic  principle  of  sharing  precious  water  resources 
with the local communities where the Group operates.

Initiatives to Reduce Waste
Toray Group is seeking to achieve zero waste emissions 
to  help  create  a  sustainable,  recycling-oriented  society. 
The  Group  is  implementing  measures  to  achieve  the 
Fourth  Medium-Term  Environmental  Plan’s  fi scal  2015 
numerical targets for simply disposed waste, landfi ll, and 
recycling ratios set as indicators for measuring progress 
toward attaining zero emissions.

Biodiversity Conservation Initiatives
Together  with  the  reduction  of  greenhouse  gas  emis-
sions,  biodiversity  conservation  is  recognized  by  Toray 
Group as a key global environmental priority. Our initia-
tives  relating  to  biodiversity  conservation  and  sustain-
able use are guided by the Toray Group Biodiversity Basic 
Policy, which was adopted in 2010.

In line with the policy, the Group is consolidating its 
biodiversity  conservation  measures,  formulating  three-
year  road  maps,  and  prioritizing  the  implementation  of 
new initiatives. In 2013, Toray Group launched a new set 
of  measures  under  the  Second  Three-year  Road  Map 
of  environmental  measures  for  the  fi scal  years  2013  to 
2015, which focuses mainly on activities to increase and 
preserve greenery.

CSR Procurement 
and Purchasing

CSR Procurement and Purchasing Activities
As  a  manufacturer  of  advanced  materials,  Toray  places 
considerable 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  per-
ception, and our commitment to fair trade, are refl ected 
in our Basic Purchasing Policies. We have also formulated 
CSR  Procurement  Guidelines,  which  call  for  the  devel-
opment of value chains that allow us to fulfi ll our social 
responsibilities in partnership with our suppliers, and for 

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,  gen-
der,  educational  background,  nationality,  religion,  physi-
cal 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  committed  to  full  compliance 
with the laws and regulations of each country and region.

Retaining and Nurturing Employees who Generate 
New Value
Toray Group’s “commitment to employees” is stipulated 
in  its  Corporate  Guiding  Principles.  The  Group’s  basic 
policy regarding core staff is to provide stable, continu-
ous employment based on a long-term outlook, irrespec-
tive  of  economic  trends  and  corporate  performance.  In 
addition,  we  do  not  make  employment  adjustment  for 
short-term purposes.

the  supply  of  environmentally  and  socially  responsible 
materials 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 cus-
tomers with accurate reports about its CSR initiatives.
  Toray has established contact points for CSR procure-
ment,  through  which  we  manage  and  internally  share 
customer and supplier information.

Environmentally Conscious Distribution Policies
Toray’s  Basic  Distribution  Policies  defi nes  key  policies 
relating  to  the  equity  and  fairness  of  business  transac-
tions,  and  to  environmental  preservation.  In  addition  to 
our  ongoing  efforts  to  reduce  logistics-related  environ-
mental  loads  and  improve  quality,  we  also  hold  annual 
briefi ngs on our Basic Distribution Policies to ensure that 
our logistics partners are fully conversant with Toray poli-
cies on logistics, and to enhance performance.

  The  Group  is  actively  working  to  expand  its  global 
businesses  and  is  stepping  up  activities  in  Japan  and 
overseas to recruit and cultivate strongly motivated and 
highly skilled employees with global capabilities.
  With  the  aim  of  cultivating  fair-minded  individuals 
with  high  ethical  standards  and  a  sense  of  responsibil-
ity  as  well  as  professionals  and  leaders  with  foresight 
and a sense of balance, the Group provides a wide range 
of training for employees at all levels and in all fi elds to 
strengthen  management  capabilities,  augment  sales 
capabilities,  production  technology  skills,  and  special-
ized expertise, and develop abilities to adapt to a global-
izing environment.

Promoting Diversity
Toray  Group  promotes  diversity  to  help  create  thriving 
workplaces where people from diverse backgrounds can 
perform to their full potential.
  Throughout  its  history,  Toray  has  actively  employed 
women and sought to provide comfortable work environ-
ments for them. The number and percentage of women 
holding  management  positions  continues  to  rise  each 
year  as  a  result  of  ongoing  improvements  in  its  pro-
motion  structure  and  revisions  to  employee  programs, 
including the introduction of a childcare leave program in 
1974, almost 20 years before its establishment as law. As 
in April 2014, 7.95% of unit manager positions or higher, 
and 4.17% of section manager positions or higher were 
held by women.

Communication 
Activities

All  of  our  business  activities  depend  on  good  dialog 
with  stakeholders.  Toray  Group  is  committed  to  com-
munication  in  good  faith,  including  the  timely  disclo-
sure  of  accurate  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 inves-
tors  is  through  quarterly  fi nancial  presentations.  We 
also hold requisite briefi ngs for individual investors. In 
addition,  we  communicate  directly  with  investors  and 
analysts in individual meetings, as required. 
  We also ensure fair disclosure of information by dis-
tributing  annual  reports  and  other  documents,  and  by 
posting  information  that  is  useful  to  stockholders  and 
investors on our website.
  Toray lives up to its reputation for putting the customer 
fi rst by actively communicating with our customers, primar-
ily through our sales and marketing divisions. We also partic-
ipate in many exhibitions and briefi ngs targeted customers.

  The  Group  communicates  with  employees  through 
in-house publications, intranet, and other various media 
presenting messages from the President and other infor-
mation in Japanese, English, and Chinese to share infor-
mation and deepen understanding of management and 
business topics.
  Toray  Group  also  highly  values  dialogue  between  its 
Group  companies,  offi ces  and  factories  and  their  local 
communities in Japan and overseas, and regularly holds 
social  gatherings  with  local  residents.  We  also  seek  to 
maintain good relations with people from the local com-
munities by efforts such as presentation meetings about 
our business activities and products as well as river and 
road cleanup activities around our factory sites.
  While  Toray  has  presented  comprehensive  informa-
tion in English on our corporate websites, we launched 
web  pages  for  India  and  Taiwan  on  the  heels  of  con-
tent for the U.S., Malaysia, and Thailand, specifi cally for 
local viewers. We are also preparing to open pages for 
Singapore, Europe, Brazil, and South Korea. 
  Furthermore,  Toray  Group  has  now  provided  the 
updated corporate website with responsive web design to 
enable viewers to browse not only PCs but smartphones, 
tablets, and other various devices with optimal design.

Activities

In  fi scal  2013,  Toray  Industries  contributed  approxi-
mately  ¥800  million  in  funding  and  the  Toray  Group  pro-
vided a total of approximately ¥1.1 billion for CSR activities. 

Our Social Contribution Policy
Through  our  core  business  activities,  we  fulfi ll  our 
Corporate  Philosophy  of  “contributing 
to  society 
through the creation of new value with innovative ideas, 
technologies and products.” We also contribute to soci-
ety in various other ways under the Toray Group Social

provision  of  funding  for  the  Toray  Science  Foundation 
(Public  Interest  Incorporated  Foundation),  which  was 
founded in 1960.

Contributing to Future Generations
Children  will  inherit  the  future.  Toray  Group  supports 
education  by  providing  products,  technology  and 
human  resources.  Employees  act  as  special  instruc-
tors  for  elementary  and  junior  high  school  programs 
that teach children to enjoy scientifi c experiments and 
understand the role of technology in solving global envi-
ronmental problems. Toray and Toray Research Center 
Inc.  host  science  camps,  which  are  science  and  tech-
nology  experiment  programs  for  high  school  students 
with  an  interest  in  science.  Front-line  researchers  and 
engineers use experiments and other activities to pro-
vide  direct  instruction  to  high  schools  students  from

Topic
TORAYSCUE® 
Used for Disaster Relief 
in the Philippines

Toray  Group,  through  an  intermediary  NGO,  donated 
two TORAYSCUE® portable freshwater generators to the 
Philippines to assist relief operations in areas devastated 
by Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013.
  The  TORAYSCUE®  freshwater  generators  incorporate 
reverse osmosis membranes, which Toray developed and 
have been used for many seawater desalination projects. 
The  generator  leverages  pressurization  to  fi lter  out  not 
only bacteria, viruses, and fi ne particles, but salts, heavy 
metals, and organic substances from water and produce 

highly  pure  and  safe  drinking  water.  Toray  specifi cally 
designed the generators to be portable and enable their 
use to secure drinking water in disaster emergencies.
  Toray  received  a  request  of  TORAYSCUE®  from 
Operation Blessing Japan*, a specifi ed nonprofi t corpo-
ration  that  started  quickly  performing  emergency  relief 
efforts  in  the  disaster-stricken  area.  The  NPO  had  pre-
viously expressed interest in the freshwater generators, 
and  Toray  donated  the  TORAYSCUE®  units  to  ensure 
affected people secured a suffi cient supply of safe water 
following the typhoon disaster. 
  Operation  Blessing  Japan  team  members,  who 
received  instructions  from  Toray,  taught  local  residents 
on  the  use  of  the  equipment.  In  the  areas  where  the 
two  generators  were  set  up,  people  expressed  heart-
felt appreciation for the aid and also commented on the 
good taste of the water.
  Toray  Group  will  continue  using  its  technology  and 
products to help resolve social issues, while collaborat-
ing with NPOs and NGOs, as it aims to maintain its sta-
tus as a corporate group with high social value.

* Operation Blessing Japan’s parent organization, Operation Blessing Inter-
national  Relief  and  Development  Corporation,  is  headquartered  in  Vir-
ginia, the U.S., and is one of the world’s largest charity groups providing 
clean water, disaster relief, medical aid, and other assistance programs. 
Established  after  the  Great  East  Japan  Earthquake,  the  organization  is 
conducting disaster relief and reconstruction support programs.

 
 
 
 
 
Pagnamitan Village in Guiuan, 
Eastern Samar Province, on Samar Island 
(Program launched January 21, 2014)
TORAYSCUE® freshwater generators are providing drink-
ing water, until new wells are dug, for approximately 300 
households  in  Pagnamitan  Village  and  the  neighboring 
area.  Pagnamitan  Village  was  where  Typhoon  Haiyan 
made landfall.

Bantigue Village in Panay, Capiz Province, 
on Panay Island 
(Program launched February 27, 2014)
The village of Bantigue was particularly devastated by 
the  typhoon,  with  approximately  90%  of  the  homes 
destroyed  and  the  wells  contaminated  with  salt-
water.  A  Philippines  military  ship  helped  deliver  the 
TORAYSCUE® units, which were used to provide daily 
drinking water for some 400 households in the village 
and on nearby islands.

Toray Group’s Basic 
Policy on Corporate 
Governance

Toray  Group’s  basic  policy  on  corporate  governance  is 
contained  in  its  Corporate  Missions,  which  requires 
the  Group  to  provide  stockholders  with  dependable 
and  trustworthy  management.  The  Corporate  Guiding 
Principles  require  the  Group  to  obtain  the  trust  of  soci-
ety  and  meet  its  expectations  by  acting  fairly  while 
maintaining  high  ethical  standards  and  a  strong  sense 
of  responsibility  as  well  as  maintaining  transparency  in 
management.  Toray’s  management  structure  has  been 
designed to facilitate the realization of these objectives.

Outline of Corporate Governance Structure and 
Reasons for Adoption
Toray’s Board of Directors is made up of 26 members. As 
Toray is a manufacturer that supplies basic materials to a 
broad range of industries, it needs to make various man-
agement and business decisions based on expert knowl-
edge concerning specifi c businesses. In addition, under 
Toray’s  governance  structure,  members  of  the  Board 
with extensive knowledge of its business activities who 
are elected at general stockholders’ meetings make deci-
sions and execute business under supervision conducted 
from diverse viewpoints from the perspective of fulfi lling 
management’s  responsibilities  to  stockholders.  In  order 

to  further  enhance  the  transparency  and  objectivity  of 
management by supervising members of the Board from 
a broader perspective, Toray elected one outside director 
at the Ordinary General Meeting of Stockholders held on 
June 25, 2014.
  Toray  operates  under  a  corporate  auditor  system. 
Two  members  of  the  four-member  Board  of  Corporate 
Auditors  are  outside  corporate  auditors.  The  corporate 
auditors  conduct  auditing  activities  based  on  expertise 
and  abundant  experiences  concerning  corporate  legal 
affairs as well as fi nancial and accounting affairs. Toray 
operates  under  a  corporate  auditor  system.  To  ensure 
management  transparency,  as  well  as  objectivity  and 
neutrality in management oversight, the Company has a 
Board of Corporate Auditors that is fully independent of 
the Board of Directors.

Basic Policy on Internal Control Systems and Their
Development
We  develop  and  maintain  internal  control  systems  as 
a  framework  for  the  development  of  appropriate  orga-
nizational  structures,  the  formulation  of  rules  and  reg-
ulations,  the  dissemination  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  innova-
tive  ideas,  technologies  and  products.”  We  review  and 
improve  these  systems  as  required  to  ensure  that  our 
business  operations  are  conducted  effi ciently  and  in 
compliance with the law. The following specifi c systems 
have been established.

(cid:129) System 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

(cid:129) System to ensure the effi cient execution of duties by members of the Board execute their duties effi ciently

(cid:129) System for preserving and managing information pertaining to the execution of duties by the members of 

the Board

(cid:129) Rules and other systems pertaining to controls over risks of loss

(cid:129) System of reporting to corporate auditors and other systems for ensuring effective implementation of audits 

by corporate auditors

(cid:129) Items pertaining to employees assisting with corporate auditors’ duties and items pertaining to the indepen-

dence of said employees

(cid:129) System for ensuring appropriate business operations by Toray Group

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Governance Structure

Toray Group is determined to justify the trust placed in it by society by working in good faith to maintain highly transparent 

governance systems.

Auditing by 
Corporate Auditors, 
Internal Auditors

The corporate auditors, including the outside corporate 
auditors,  possess  considerable  expertise  concerning 
fi nancial and accounting affairs. In fi scal 2013, too, they 
attended  meetings  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  and  held 
meeting  with  all  members  of  the  Board,  divisional  and 
departmental general managers and conducted periodic 
audits  of  Toray  offi ces  and  plants  worldwide,  including 

subsidiaries and affi liated 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  regu-
latory  compliance  as  key  elements  of  corporate  social 
responsibility,  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  affi liated  companies. 
Information  is  continually  exchanged.  For  example,  all 
audit  reports  submitted  to  the  President  by  the  Audit 
Department are also submitted to the corporate auditors.

(III) 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 trans-
parency and fairness, and to provide enhanced incentives 
for the improvement of fi nancial performance and corpo-
rate value in the short-, medium- and long-term perspec-
tives.  Remuneration  for  corporate  auditors  consists  of 
monthly remuneration and a bonus.
  Furthermore,  the  amount  of  remuneration  for  mem-
bers  of  the  Board  and  corporate  auditors  is  set  at  suf-
fi cient  levels  to  secure  capable  personnel  and  provide 
motivation to enhance business performance while tak-
ing into account the results of research conducted by a 

third-party organization to ensure objectivity.
  The  maximum  total  amount  of  monthly  remunera-
tion is determined by resolution at the Ordinary General 
Meeting  of  Stockholders.  Resolutions  are  passed  as 
required to determine whether or not bonuses should be 
paid and the amount of such bonuses.
  Ordinary General Meetings of Stockholders set upper 
limits for the number of stock options granted to mem-
bers  of  the  Board  as  remuneration,  and  for  the  total 
amount of remuneration provided. The Board of Directors 
determines  the  number  of  stock  options  granted  to 
members of the Board within those limits according to 
internal regulations established by the Company.

Corporate Ethics and 
Legal Compliance

All of us at Toray Group are working as one to uphold cor-
porate ethics and ensure legal compliance in accordance 
with clear guidelines established by and under the lead-
ership of the top management.

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 coop-
erative initiatives by labor and management. This commit-
tee deliberates on all policies pertaining to corporate ethics.
  The Company-Wide Legal Compliance Committee works 
under the auspices of the Corporate Ethics Committee to pro-
mote  independent  activities,  and  is  specifi cally  tasked  with 
advancing initiatives relating to company-wide priorities. The 
committee’s  administration  is  based  on  close  communica-
tion between committee members, who are mainly section 
managers from each business line, and top management.
  All divisions, offi ces and plants have established CSR/
Legal Compliance Committees to carry out activities in-
volving individual employees in their workplaces.
  Subsidiaries  and  affi liated  companies  in  Japan  and 
overseas  have  also  established  CSR/Legal  Compliance 

Committees and are promoting activities in cooperation with 
Toray’s relevant divisions and the CSR Operations Dept.
  To ensure that all executives and employees, includ-
ing  contract,  part-time  and  temporary  employees,  are 
fully  informed  about  compliance  requirements,  we  dis-
tribute copies of the Corporate Ethics and Legal Compli-
ance Handbook, which defi nes standards of conduct and 
provides detailed information about matters that require 
special care. The Handbook is updated as required, such 
as when laws and regulations are amended.
  The  subsidiaries  and  affi liated  companies  in  Japan 
and  overseas  that  established  CSR/Legal  Compliance 
Committees  are  working  to  ensure  consistent  compli-
ance 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  admin-
istered  over  three-year  cycles,  we  aim  to  identify  and 
reduce  potential  risk  factors  in  our  business  activities 
and prevent recurrences. We have also formulated Crisis 
Management  Regulations  as  the  basis  for  the  devel-
opment  and  administration  of  an  Emergency  Quick 
Response System designed to prevent emergency situa-
tions from expanding and ensuring the early restoration 
of normal operations.

Developing Risk Management System
Toray has established the Group-wide Risk Management 
Committee under the CSR Committee in order to moni-
tor the status of company-wide risk reduction efforts in 
normal  times  and  to  manage  the  functions  of  planning 
and promotion of company-wide risk management mea-
sures in an integrated manner.
  Moreover, the Company has established risk manage-
ment subcommittees at divisions, business offi ces and 
plants, and they are engaging in activities to prevent and 
reduce risks specifi c thereto. 
  Group  companies  are  also  promoting  activities  to 
reduce  risks  specifi c  to  themselves  and  report  the  sta-
tus of activities each fi scal year to the Group-Wide Risk 
Management Committee.
  Under  the  corporate  risk  management  system  intro-
duced  in  fi scal  2008,  we  evaluate  potential  risk  factors 
that could affect the business operations of Toray Group 
from a group-wide perspective. The system is managed 
based on the PDCA cycle.

Dealing with Priority Risks
Risk  reduction  measures  relating  to  priority  risks  are 
implemented  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 progress 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  continued  to  use  e-learning  to  provide  secu-
rity training. In fi scal 2013, a total of 8,200 employees 
have completed this program.

2. Supply-chain risks

Toray Group checked the status of use of confl ict min-
erals  with  regard  to  all  products  manufactured  by 
the  group  and  ensured  that  customer  inquiries  are 
answered  promptly  and  effi ciently  based  on  central 
management of data.

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 comprehensive response in a 
crisis situation.
  The  regulations  are  revised  as  appropriate  so  as  to 
prepare  for  new  risks  that  may  emerge  as  a  result  of 
change in the social environment. 

Security Trade Administration
Toray  maintains  strict  control  over  exports  of  all  prod-
ucts,  equipment,  materials  and  samples  and  provision 
of  technologies  to  overseas  entities,  with  particular 
emphasis placed on control over items which are sub-
ject  to  the  list  control  and  whose  exports  require  per-
mission by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, 
such as TORAYCA® resin compounds, carbon fi ber com-
posite materials, coatings for semiconductors and water 
treatment membranes.

Promotion of Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
We have always regarded major earthquakes as a signifi -
cant risk factor and conducted activities under our Major 
Earthquake Business Continuity Plan.

In  fi scal  2013,  we  assumed  a  scenario  in  which  it 
is  impossible  to  establish  a  Company-Wide  Response 
Headquarters  in  Tokyo  because  the  capital  has  been 
directly  hit  by  a  major  earthquake.  Under  this  sce-
nario,  we  conducted  drills  for  the  establishment  of  an 
emergency  Company-Wide  Response  Headquarters  in 
Kansai  and  for  the  transfer  of  the  response  function  to 
a Company-Wide Response Headquarters in Tokyo after 
the restoration of the Tokyo Head Offi ce.
  Toray has introduced a system to check the safety and 
whereabouts of employees at all of its offi ces and plants 
and is also introducing a similar system at affi liated com-
panies in Japan.

In addition, we are continually working to mitigate risk 
factors that could affect business continuity by systemati-
cally implementing earthquake-proofi ng of plant buildings, 
reviewing continuity planning for corporate functions and 
key  business  operations  and  identifying  potential  prob-
lems affecting supply chains for each product.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

OVERVIEW

During the period covered by year ended March 31, 2014 (fi s-
cal 2013), the global economy continued to expand gradually, 
as  consumer  spending  in  the  U.S.  increased  on  the  back  of 
improved  employment,  while  the  European  economy  contin-
ued to stagnate despite some signs of recovery and the growth 
rate  of  China  and  other  emerging  economies  slowed  down. 
The Japanese economy has been recovering at a gradual pace 
with  consumer  spending  and  public  investment  remaining 
steady,  the  private  sector’s  capital  expenditure  also  showing 
signs of recovery and employment situation improving steadily.
  Under such circumstances, Toray Group implemented the 
growth  strategy  with  focus  on  pursuing  business  expansion 
in growth business fi elds and growth regions and further bol-
stering its total cost competitiveness in accordance with the 
medium-term management program “Project AP-G 2013.”
  As a result of these efforts, Toray Group posted a year-on-
year increase in both revenues and earnings. 

INCOME ANALYSIS

Net Sales
Consolidated net sales in the year ended March 31, 2014 amount-
ed to ¥1,837.8 billion, up 15.4% or ¥245.5 billion from the previ-
ous fi scal year. Sales increased in all business segments.

Sales by Segment
Fibers & Textiles
Total sales in this segment increased ¥123.3 billion, or 19.5%, 
to ¥755.5 billion.

In  Japan,  while  sales  of  functional  apparel  applications 
grew  strongly,  those  of  general  apparel  applications,  though 
showing signs of recovery, remained weak. On the other hand, 
exports  recovered  partly  due  to  the  correction  in  the  strong 
yen. Sales for industrial applications, led by automobile-related 
applications, continued on track to recovery.
  Overseas, while the conditions continued to be tough with 
Europe  remaining  mired  in  economic  slump  and  sluggish 
domestic  demand  in  China,  textile  subsidiaries  in  Southeast 
Asia and China pursued sales expansion and a shift towards 
high value-added products. Also, while the fl oods in Thailand 
that occurred in October 2011 had affected the operations in 
the same period a year earlier, the production and sales recov-
ered since then, contributing to the improved performance.

Plastics & Chemicals
Total sales in this segment increased ¥74.7 billion, or 18.9%, 
to ¥470.5 billion.

Though sales for automotive applications in the resin busi-
ness  increased  in  Japan,  those  for  electronics  and  general 
industrial  applications  remained  weak.  Overseas,  automotive 
applications  in  North  America,  China  and  Southeast  Asia  led 
the sales expansion.

  Demand  for  the  fi lm  business’s  products  remained  slug-
gish  on  the  whole  within  and  outside  Japan,  with  continued 
price competition, even though domestic sales for capacitors 
used in hybrid cars remained strong.
  Also, trading subsidiaries expanded their business transactions 
on the back of market recovery and strong overseas business.

IT-related Products
Total sales in this segment increased ¥8.1 billion, or 3.4%, to 
¥245.7 billion.

The sales of products for small and mid-sized displays such 
as smartphones and tablet terminals in general were strong, 
although  they  were  partly  affected  by  the  production  adjust-
ment  of  end  products  in  the  second  half.  Sales  of  fi lms  and 
processed fi lm products for large LCD panels, after perform-
ing  strongly  in  the  fi rst  half,  were  infl uenced  by  stagnating 
demand for fl at-screen TV sets in the second half.

Carbon Fiber Composite Materials
Total sales in this segment increased ¥35.7 billion, or 46.0%, 
to ¥113.3 billion.
  As demand for aircrafts as well as that in the environment 
and energy fi elds including compressed natural gas tank appli-
cations  expanded,  sales  of  carbon  fi bers  and  intermediate 
products  (prepreg)  grew  strongly  for  aerospace  applications 
and general industrial applications. In the composite business, 
sales  of  carbon  fi ber  reinforced  plastic  chassis  for  notebook 
PCs, which boast high strength and light weight, increased.

Environment & Engineering
Total sales in this segment increased ¥1.8 billion, or 1.0%, to 
¥180.2 billion.
  While the market for water treatment membranes has not 
yet fully recovered refl ecting continued uncertainties over the 
global economic outlook, shipment of reverse osmosis mem-
branes to the Middle East was strong at the Company. Among 
domestic subsidiaries, the progress of plant construction proj-
ects remained slow at an engineering subsidiary.

Life Science
Total sales in this segment increased ¥1.6 billion, or 2.8%, to 
¥58.2 billion.
  Sales  of  REMITCH®*,  an  oral  anti-pruritus  drug  for  hemo-
dialysis  patients,  expanded  robustly,  though  other  pharma-
ceutical  products  were  affected  by  intensifying  competition 
and  royalty  income  on  some  products  decreased.  In  medi-
cal devices, sales in Japan as well as exports of FlLTRYZER®, 
polymethylmethacrylate  (PMMA)  dialysis  membrane-based 
hemodialyzer, and TORAYSULFONE®, polysulfone membrane 
artifi cial kidneys, grew strongly.

*REMITCH® is a registered trademark of Torii Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Others
Net sales increased ¥0.2 billion, or 1.1%, to ¥14.3 billion.

Costs and Expenses
The ratio of total costs and expenses to net sales for the year 
was 94.3%, down 0.5 percentage points from the previous fi s-
cal year. 
  Consolidated net sales increased 15.4% year on year, and 
cost of sales increased 16.0%. As a result, the cost of sales 
ratio increased 0.4 percentage points to 80.8%. 
  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased 
¥19.2  billion,  or  8.4%,  to  ¥247.4  billion.  The  ratio  of  selling, 
general  and  administrative  expenses  to  net  sales  decreased 
0.9 percentage points to 13.5%. 
  R&D expenses increased ¥2.2 billion, or 4.0%, to ¥55.5 billion.

Operating Income and Net Income
Consolidated operating income increased ¥21.8 billion or 26.1% 
from the previous fi scal year, to ¥105.3 billion, and the ratio of 
operating income to net sales rose 0.5 percentage point to 5.7%.
  Operating  income  rose  in  all  segments  but  Plastics  & 
Chemicals and Life Science.

Fibers  &  Textiles  segment  operating  income  rose  ¥9.7 
billion  or  22.4%  year  on  year  to  ¥52.9  billion  supported  by 
increased sales and a shift to high value-added products at the 
textile subsidiaries in Southeast Asia and China as well as the 
low comparison base due to the impact on last year’s perfor-
mance from the fl oods in Thailand.
  Operating  income  in  the  Plastics  &  Chemicals  segment 
dipped by ¥0.3 billion or 1.6% to ¥18.0 billion. The resin busi-
ness recorded brisk sales for automotive applications in Japan, 
but results were tempered by higher materials costs related to 
the correction of the strong yen. Film business sales struggled 
against weak overall demand in Japan and overseas along with 
ongoing price competition.

IT-related Products segment operating income rose ¥1.6 bil-
lion or 7.1% to ¥24.6 billion supported by generally solid sales 
of small and mid-sized display materials for smartphones, tab-
let computers, and other products.

The Carbon Fiber Composite Materials segment generated a 
¥9.6 billion or 131.9% increase in operating income to ¥16.9 bil-
lion. Sales of carbon fi bers and intermediate products (prepreg) 
for aircraft, aerospace, and general industrial applications were 
brisk amid growing demand for aircrafts as well as that in the 
environment and energy fi elds including compressed natural gas 
tank applications.
  Operating  income  in  the  Environment  &  Engineering  seg-
ment  rose  ¥3.8  billion  or  143.4%  to  ¥6.4  billion  supported 
by  strong  shipments  of  reverse  osmosis  membranes  to  the 
Middle East and other products by the water treatment mem-
branes business.

The  Life  Science  segment  posted  a  ¥1.9  billion  or  24.8% 
decline in operating income to ¥5.6 billion due mainly to inten-
sifying competition and decreased license fee revenue in med-
ical products.
  Operating income of Others rose ¥0.4 billion or 27.6% to 
¥2.0 billion.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In  net  other  income  (expenses),  Toray  Group  reported 
¥7.5  billion  in  expenses,  a  ¥1.9  billion  year-on-year  increase. 
Interest  and  dividend  income  increased  ¥0.5  billion  over  the 
previous fi scal year to ¥3.8 billion, while interest expense fell 
¥0.6  billion  to  ¥4.9  billion.  This  led  to  a  ¥1.1  billion  improve-
ment in net fi nancial expenses to ¥1.1 billion. Equity in earn-
ings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  and  affi liated  companies 
increased  ¥0.3  billion  to  ¥7.7  billion.  Loss  on  impairment  of 
fi xed assets increased ¥12.4 billion year on year to ¥14.4 bil-
lion. Loss on sales and disposal of property, plant and equip-
ment, net, increased by ¥0.8 billion to ¥5.2 billion. 
  As a result of the above, income before income taxes and 
minority interests increased ¥19.9 billion to ¥97.8 billion. After 
deductions for income taxes and minority interests in earnings 
of  consolidated  subsidiaries,  net  income  amounted  to  ¥59.6 
billion, up ¥11.1 billion from the previous fi scal year. 
  Net  income  per  share  was  ¥36.59,  an  increase  of  ¥6.84. 
The Company declared a year-end cash dividend of ¥5.00 per 
share in light of the profi t conditions for the year under review 
and  the  profi t  outlook  for  the  next  fi scal  term.  Added  to  the 
interim cash dividend, this brought the total annual dividend to 
¥10.00 per share.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Assets
Total  assets  on  March  31,  2014,  stood  at  ¥2,119.7  billion,  up 
¥387.8 billion or 22.4% from the end of the previous fi scal year. 
This was mainly due to the increases in trade receivables, in inven-
tories and in property, plant and equipment, net of depreciation.

* Effective from the year ended March 31, 2014, certain overseas subsidiar-
ies applied IAS 19 “Employee Benefi ts” (revised on June 16, 2011). As this 
change in accounting policy is applied retrospectively, the related fi nancial 
data for 2013 refl ect the retrospective application.

Current Assets
Current  assets  were  up  15.5%,  or  ¥123.6  billion,  to  ¥920.4 
billion.  Trade  receivables  were  up  14.2%,  or  ¥43.9  billion,  to

billion. A major factor was the increase in total interest-bearing 
liabilities—consisting of short-term bank loans, current portion 
of long-term debt, commercial paper, long-term debt and lease 
obligations—up ¥122.2 billion, or 23.0%, to ¥654.2 billion.

Net Assets
Net assets came to ¥944.6 billion and net assets less minor-
ity interests in consolidated subsidiaries and stock acquisition 
rights stood at ¥859.0 billion. As a result, net assets per share 
increased ¥82.87 to ¥527.32. The equity ratio fell 1.3 percent-
age points to 40.5%, while the debt/equity ratio worsened by 
0.03 point to 0.76.

CASH FLOWS

In  the  year  ended  March  31,  2014,  net  cash  used  in  invest-
ing activities exceeded net cash provided by operating activi-
ties by ¥53.4 billion. On the other hand, net cash provided by 
fi nancing activities was ¥41.5 billion due mainly to an increase 
in  interest-bearing  liabilities.  Including  fl uctuations  in  foreign

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥161.5 
billion,  up  ¥60.6  billion  from  the  previous  fi scal  year.  Major 
factors  for  provision  of  cash  include  income  before  income 
taxes and minority interests of ¥97.8 billion and depreciation

BUSINESS RISKS 

Operational  and  other  risks  faced  by  Toray  Group  that  could 
have  a  major  infl uence  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 identifi ed 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 pur-
chasing  policies  of  business  partners.  In  addition  to  severe 
competition with other companies, Toray Group’s various busi-
nesses also face the risk of new players entering the market. 
Price  fl uctuations,  stemming  from  the  reduction  of  National 
Health Insurance (NHI) drug prices and reimbursement prices, 
also  affect  the  pharmaceuticals  and  medical  products  busi-
ness. Although Toray Group takes steps to maintain its com-
petitive 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 fi nancial conditions.

(2) Rising prices of fuel and raw materials
The  prices  of  petrochemical  raw  materials  and  fuel  used  by 
Toray  Group  are  subject  to  signifi cant  fl uctuations.  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 fi nancial conditions could be nega-
tively 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 fi elds. 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  expendi-
tures, joint ventures, alliances and acquisitions, it considers the 
potential  for  profi tability  and  return  on  investment.  However, 
there is not necessarily any guarantee that the outcome will be 
consistent  with  expectations.  If  unforeseen  market  changes 
or signifi cant discrepancies between actual results and initial 
business  plans  occur  due  to  sudden  changes  in  the  operat-
ing environment, there could be a loss on impairment of fi xed 
assets or equity in losses of unconsolidated subsidiaries and 
affi liated companies. As a result, Toray Group’s results of oper-
ations and fi nancial conditions could be negatively affected.

(4) Foreign currency, interest rate and 

securities market fl uctuations

Foreign  currency  exchange  rate  fl uctuations  affect  Toray 
Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements when the fi nancial 
statements of the overseas operations presented in local cur-
rencies are translated into yen. Toray Group takes measures, 
such as entering forward exchange contracts, to alleviate risks 
associated  with  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  curren-
cies.  However,  unforeseen  exchange  rate  fl uctuations  could 
have  an  impact  on  Toray  Group’s  results  of  operations  and 
fi nancial conditions. 
  Moreover, rapid and unforeseen changes in interest rates 
and  other  aspects  of  fi nancial  market  turmoils,  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 fi nancial conditions.

(5) Changes in assumptions on which forecasts are 
  based that might affect employee retirement benefi t
  obligations and deferred tax assets
Toray’s  consolidated  fi nancial  statements  contain  employee 
retirement  benefi t  obligations  based  on  future  pension  pay-
ments  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 fi scal years. 
However, if changes in the criteria used to calculate pension 
payments  were  to  occur,  or  if  fl uctuations  arose  in  the  esti-
mates of future taxable income, Toray Group’s results of oper-
ations and fi nancial 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 fi nan-
cial 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  situa-
tions  were  to  occur,  Toray  Group’s  results  of  operations  and 
fi nancial conditions could be negatively affected.

(8) Lawsuits
In the course of conducting its wide range of business activ-
ities,  Toray  Group  faces  the  risk  of  being  targeted  by  legal 
action pertaining to various matters such as intellectual prop-
erty,  product  liability,  environment,  and  labor  issues.  If  Toray 
Group were subject to a major lawsuit, its results of operations 
and fi nancial 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  envi-
ronment, commercial trading, labor, intellectual property, taxa-
tion 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 envi-
ronmental  regulations  and  taxes,  as  well  as  changes  to  the 
corporate  income  tax  rate  could  affect  Toray  Group’s  results 
of operations and fi nancial conditions. Also, if Toray Group is 
judged  as  having  violated  such  laws  and  regulations,  is  sub-
ject to government sanctions initiated by a fair trade commis-
sion, 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 fi nancial statements, its 
results of operations and fi nancial conditions could be nega-
tively 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 regu-
lar accident prevention inspections, maintenance of its manu-
facturing 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 fi nan-
cial conditions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Toray Industries, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated fi nancial statements of Toray 
Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) and its consolidated subsid-
iaries  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  appli-
cation  and  disclosure  requirements  of  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards.

For  the  preparation  of  consolidated  fi nancial  statements, 
the  accounting  policies  and  procedures  applied  to  a  par-
ent company and its subsidiaries for similar transactions and 
events under similar circumstances should be unifi ed, in princi-
ple. However, fi nancial statements prepared by overseas sub-
sidiaries  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards or the generally accepted accounting principles in 
the  United  States  tentatively  may  be  used  for  the  consolida-
tion  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 fi nan-
cial statements in Japanese have been reclassifi ed for the con-
venience of readers outside Japan.

b) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated fi nancial 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  affi liated 

companies are accounted for by the equity method.
  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been elim-
inated in consolidation. The difference between the acquisition 
cost and the underlying net assets of the subsidiaries is recog-
nized 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, 2014 and 2013 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 and cash equivalents

 ¥ 113,137  ¥ 107,690  $ 1,098,417

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 con-
solidated 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 avail-
able 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 signifi cantly and 
such  impairment  of  the  value  is  not  deemed  temporary, 
those securities are written down to fair value and the result-
ing losses are included in net income or loss for the period.

Hedge Accounting:

Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of deriv-
atives  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 transac-
tions 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 pol-
icy to utilize the above hedging instruments in order to reduce 
their exposure to the risk of interest rate and foreign currency 
fl uctuations. Thus, their purchases of the hedging instruments 
are limited to, at maximum, the amounts of the hedged items.
The  Company  and  its  consolidated  subsidiaries  eval-
uate  the  effectiveness  of  hedging  activities  by  refer-
ence to the accumulated gains or losses on the hedging 
instruments and the related hedged items from the com-
mencement 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, princi-
pally determined by the moving average method, or net sell-
ing value to refl ect any decreased profi tability 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 
3–60 years
  Machinery and equipment  3–15 years

  Principally, a depreciation method of leased assets is iden-
tical to the method applicable to its own fi xed assets. In the 
Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries, fi nance 
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  deter-
mined 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 fi nancial statements. The Company also provides 
for the anticipated tax effect of future remittances of retained 
earnings from overseas subsidiaries and affi liated companies.

i) Retirement Benefi ts
The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries have 
an  unfunded  lump-sum  benefi t  plan,  a  funded  contributory 
pension plan and a defi ned contribution pension plan covering 
all eligible employees.
  Under  the  terms  of  the  unfunded  lump-sum  benefi t  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 defi ned con-
tribution pension plan provide, in general, pension payments 
for life commencing from age 60.

To provide for the payment of retirement benefi ts to employ-
ees,  net  defi ned  benefi t  liability  is  recognized  at  an  amount 
equal to the expected retirement benefi t obligations net of the 
fair value of pension assets at the end of the period.
  Past service cost is amortized as incurred using the straight-
line method over a certain period within the employees’ aver-
age remaining years of service (primarily 15 years).
  Actuarial  gains  and  losses  are  amortized  from  the  follow-

ing fi scal year after recognition using the straight-line method 
over a certain period within the employees’ average remaining 
years of service (primarily 15 years).
  Unrecognized  actuarial  gains  and  losses  and  unrecog-
nized past service cost are recognized in remeasurements of 
defi ned  benefi t  plans  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive 
income under the net assets section, net of deferred taxes.
  Allowance  for  retirement  benefi ts  for  members  of  the 
Board  and  corporate  auditors  (“executives”)  of  the  Company 
and  certain  of  its  domestic  consolidated  subsidiaries  is  pro-
vided  based  on  the  companies’  pertinent  rules  and  is  calcu-
lated  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  liabili-
ties” on the consolidated balance sheets.

j) Appropriation of Retained Earnings
Cash dividends are recorded in the fi scal year when the pro-
posed  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 cur-
rencies,  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  fi nancial  statements  of  over-
seas  subsidiaries  into  Japanese  yen  for  consolidation  pur-
poses is made by using the current exchange rates prevailing 
at their balance sheet dates, with the exception that the trans-
lation 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  pre-
sented  as  “foreign  currency  translation  adjustments”  in  net 
assets except for the portion belonging to minority stockhold-
ers,  which  is  included  in  “minority  interests  in  consolidated 
subsidiaries” in net assets.

m) Application of “Employee Benefi ts”
In  connection  with  the  application  of  “Employee  Benefi ts” 
(International  Accounting  Standards  Board, 
International 
Accounting Standard No. 19, revised on June 16, 2011) from fi s-
cal periods starting on or after January 1, 2013, effective from 
the year ended March 31, 2014, certain overseas subsidiaries 
have adopted accounting standard and thereby changed their 
methods  for  recognizing  actuarial  gains  and  losses,  past  ser-
vice cost, and net interest on the net defi ned benefi t liability, etc. 
  Changes in the accounting policy have been applied retro-
actively  in  the  consolidated  fi nancial  statements  for  the  year 
ended March 31, 2013. The effect of the retrospective applica-
tion is insignifi cant.

 
 
 
 
 
 
n) Application of Accounting Standard for Retirement 

Benefi ts

Effective  from  the  end  of  the  year  ended  March  31,  2014, 
for 
the  Company  has  adopted  “Accounting  Standard 
Retirement  Benefi ts”  (Accounting  Standards  Board  of  Japan 
(ASBJ)  Statement  No.  26,  May  17,  2012)  and  “Guidance  on 
Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefi ts” (ASBJ Guidance 
No. 25, May 17, 2012) (except for certain provisions described 
in  the  main  clause  of  Section  35  of  the  standard  and  in  the 
main clause of Section 67 of the guidance). Accordingly, the 
Company  and  its  domestic  consolidated  subsidiaries  have 
adopted  a  new  accounting  method  under  which  an  amount 
equal to the expected retirement benefi t obligations net of the 
fair  value  of  pension  assets  is  recorded  as  net  defi ned  ben-
efi t  asset  or  liability,  and  unrecognized  actuarial  gains  and 
losses and unrecognized past service cost are recorded in net 
defi ned benefi t asset and liability.

The  application  of  the  standard  and  the  guidance  is  sub-
ject to the transitional treatment set forth in Section 37 of the 
standard, and the effect of the change is added to or deducted 
from  remeasurements  of  defi ned  benefi t  plans  in  accumu-
lated  other  comprehensive  income  at  March  31,  2014.  As  a 
result,  the  Company  and  its  domestic  consolidated  subsid-
iaries  recorded  net  defi ned  benefi t  asset  of  ¥24,500  million 
($237,864  thousand)  (included  in  other  in  investments  and 
other assets) and net defi ned benefi t liability of ¥84,579 million 
($821,155 thousand), while accumulated other comprehensive 
income decreased by ¥15,825 million ($153,641 thousand). In 
addition, net assets per share decreased by ¥9.71 ($0.09).

o) Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
Accounting Standards for Business Combinations
On September 13, 2013, the ASBJ issued “Revised Accounting 
Standard for Business Combinations” (ASBJ Statement No.21), 
“Revised  Accounting  Standard  for  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements”  (ASBJ  Statement  No.22),  “Revised  Accounting 
Standard  for  Business  Divestitures”  (ASBJ  Statement  No.7), 
“Revised Accounting Standard for Earnings Per Share” (ASBJ 
Statement No.2), “Revised Guidance on Accounting Standard 
for  Business  Combinations  and  Accounting  Standard  for 
Business  Divestitures”  (ASBJ  Guidance  No.10)  and  “Revised 
Guidance  on  Accounting  Standard  for  Earnings  Per  Share” 
(ASBJ Guidance No.4).

(1) Overview

Under  these  revised  accounting  standards,  the  account-
ing  treatment  for  any  changes  in  a  parent’s  ownership 

2. U.S. DOLLAR AMOUNTS

interest  in  a  subsidiary  when  the  parent  retains  control 
over the subsidiary and the corresponding accounting for 
acquisition-related  costs  were  revised.  In  addition,  the 
presentation  method  of  net  income  was  amended,  the 
reference  to  “minority  interests”  was  changed  to  “non-
controlling interests,” and transitional provisions for these 
accounting standards were also defi ned.

(2) Scheduled Date of Adoption

The  Company  expects  to  adopt  these  revised  accounting 
standards  and  guidance  from  the  beginning  of  the  year 
ending March 31, 2016.

(3) Impact of Adopting Revised Accounting Standards and 

Guidance
The  impact  of  adopting  the  revised  accounting  standards 
and guidance on consolidated fi nancial statements is cur-
rently under evaluation.

Accounting Standards for Retirement Benefi ts
On May 17, 2012, the ASBJ issued “Accounting Standard for 
Retirement Benefi ts” (ASBJ Statement No.26) and “Guidance 
on  Accounting  Standard  for  Retirement  Benefi ts”  (ASBJ 
Guidance  No.25),  which  replaced  the  Accounting  Standard 
for Retirement Benefi ts 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

The  standard  provides  guidance  for  the  accounting  for 
unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized 
past  service  cost,  the  calculation  methods  for  retirement 
benefi t  obligation  and  service  cost,  and  enhancement  of 
disclosures  taking  into  consideration  improvements  to 
fi nancial reporting and international trends.

(2) Scheduled Date of Adoption

Revisions to the calculation methods for the retirement ben-
efi t obligation and service cost are scheduled to be adopted 
from the beginning of the 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 fi nancial statements is cur-
rently under evaluation.

The Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries maintain 
their accounting records in yen. The U.S. dollar amounts included 
in the accompanying consolidated fi nancial statements and notes 
thereto represent the arithmetic results of translating yen into U.S. 
dollars  at  the  rate  of  ¥103  to  $1.00,  the  approximate  exchange 

rate prevailing on March 31, 2014. The inclusion of such U.S. dol-
lar amounts is solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan 
and is not intended to imply that yen amounts and assets and lia-
bilities that originated in yen have been or could be readily con-
verted, 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  fl uctuations  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  regula-
tions,  the  Company  and  its  consolidated  subsidiaries  care-
fully 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 pay-
ables denominated in the same foreign currencies. Likewise, 
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries mainly use cur-
rency 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 fl uctuations. Most of these securities are the shares of 
corporations  with  which  the  Company  and  its  consolidated 
subsidiaries have business relationships.

The fair value and fi nancial 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  fi nanc-
ing  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 fl uctuation. Bank loans 
and bonds at fl oating interest rates carry the risk of higher inter-
est expenses when rates rise, while bank loans and bonds at 
fi xed  interest  rates  carry  the  risk  of  higher  interest  expenses 
when  rates  fall.  The  Company  and  its  consolidated  subsidiar-
ies use derivative transactions (interest rate swap transactions) 
to minimize the risk of interest rate fl uctuation, taking into con-
sideration the balance between fi xed interest rates and fl oating 
interest rates.
  Hedging  instruments,  hedged  items,  the  policy  for  utiliz-
ing  such  hedging  instruments  and  the  method  for  evaluat-
ing  the  effectiveness  of  hedging  activities  are  described  in 
Note  1.  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  d)  Financial 
the 
Instruments,  Hedge  Accounting 
Consolidated Financial Statements.
  Derivative transactions are executed and managed in accor-
dance with the internal regulations prescribing the authoriza-
tion for transactions. To mitigate credit risk, the Company and 
its consolidated subsidiaries carry out derivative transactions 
only with highly rated fi nancial institutions.

c)  Supplemental Explanation on Fair Value of Financial 

Instruments

The  fair  value  of  fi nancial  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 subject to fl uctuation because they employ various factors 
and assumptions. In addition, the contract amount of deriva-
tives in Note 7. DERIVATIVES in the Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements is not an indicator of market risk associ-
ated with derivative transactions.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Carrying value, fair value and unrealized gain (loss) as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows.
In addition, fi nancial instruments, for which it is extremely diffi cult to measure the fair value, are not included. (Please refer to Note 
2 below).

Notes:
1. Estimation method for fair value of fi nancial 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 fi nancial institutions. For information on securities classifi ed 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 is based on market price. However, in cases where the interest rate of bonds fl uctuates or the spe-
cial accounting method for interest rate swaps is applied to make the interest rate fl uctuating, 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 car-
rying 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 inter-
est (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 fl oating 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  The expected volatility is based on actual share prices during 8 years from August 11, 2005 to August 9, 2013.
*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, 2013.
*4  The risk-free interest rate is the yield on Japanese government bonds for the period that corresponds to the remaining life of the option.

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

The “Act for Partial Amendment of the Income Tax Act, etc.” 
(Act No. 10 of 2014) was promulgated on March 31, 2014 and, 
as a result, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries are no 
longer subject to the Special Reconstruction Corporation Tax 
effective  for  fi scal  years  beginning  on  or  after  April  1,  2014. 
As  a  result,  the  effective  statutory  tax  rate  used  to  measure 
the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities was changed 
from 38.0% to 35.6% for the temporary differences expected 
to  be  realized  or  settled  in  the  fi scal  year  beginning  April  1, 

2014. The effect of the announced reduction of the effective 
statutory  tax  rate  was  to  decrease  deferred  tax  assets  after 
offsetting  deferred  tax  liabilities  by  ¥1,627  million  ($15,796 
thousand), net deferred losses on hedges by ¥6 million ($58 
thousand)  and  remeasurements  of  defi ned  benefi t  plans  by 
¥74  million  ($718  thousand)  and  increase  deferred  income 
taxes by ¥1,547 million ($15,019 thousand) as of and for the 
year ended March 31, 2014.

11. NET ASSETS

The Corporation Law of Japan provides that an amount equal 
to 10% of the amount to be disbursed as distributions of cap-
ital surplus (other than the capital reserve) and retained earn-
ings  other  than  the  earned  reserve)  be  transferred  to  the 
capital reserve and the earned reserve, respectively, until the 
sum of the capital reserve and the earned reserve equals 25% 
of the capital stock account. Such distributions can be made 

at any time by resolution of the stockholders, or by the Board 
of Directors if certain conditions are met.
  At  the  June  2014  annual  stockholders’  meeting,  stock-
holders approved the payment of cash dividends of ¥5.00 per 
share, aggregating to ¥8,149 million ($79,117 thousand) which 
has  not  been  refl ected  in  the  accompanying  consolidated 
fi nancial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

At March 31, 2014, commitment line of credit to unconsolidated subsidiaries and affi liated companies was as follows:

13. LEASES

Finance leases
The Group holds certain buildings, machinery and equipment 
and intangible assets by leases.

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. Total 
lease  payments  under  these  leases  were  ¥209  million  ($2,029 

thousand) and ¥383 million for the years ended March 31, 2014 
and 2013, respectively. Pro forma information relating to acquisi-
tion costs, accumulated depreciation/amortization and accumu-
lated loss on impairment and net book value for property held 
under fi nance lease transactions which do not transfer owner-
ship of the leased property to the lessee on an “as if capitalized” 
basis at March 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

15. LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries grouped assets used for business based on the classifi cation under the manage-
ment accounting. For assets to be disposed and idle assets, each asset is considered to constitute a group. 

For the year ended March 31, 2014, the carrying value of certain business-use assets for which profi tability declined and assets 
to be disposed were written down to the recoverable amount. As a result, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries recog-
nized a loss on impairment of fi xed assets in the amount of ¥14,390 million ($139,709 thousand). 

The major assets for which a loss on impairment was recognized were as follows:

The recoverable amount of the above assets was measured at their value in use or the net selling value. The value in use was cal-
culated by discounting future cash fl ows at a discount rate of 8%, and the net selling value was calculated based on the real estate 
appraisal value.

20. AMOUNTS PER SHARE

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  out-
standing 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 pro-
posed by the Board of Directors applicable to the respective 
years together with any interim cash dividends paid.

respect of replacement certifi cates by ¥10 million ($97 thousand)

[3] Amounts to be paid upon exercise of stock acquisition rights

respect of carbon fi ber and prepreg (sheet consisting of resin-impregnated carbon fi ber) facilities in Japan and the United 
States, facilities for fi lms for IT-related products in Japan, and PPS (polyphenylene sulphide) resin facilities in South Korea;
[2] approximately  ¥30  billion  ($291  million)  by  the  end  of  March  2015  for  R&D  expenses,  principally  in  respect  of  Green

environment. As the number of its own shares the Company is able to repurchase is dependent on, among other things, 
market conditions, to the extent not all of the amount referred to above in respect of the proceeds of the offering of the 
Bonds is applied towards such repurchase, any balance will be applied towards repayment of interest-bearing liabilities.
