Message from the President

“To become a company that creates the full value of movement”

We extend our deepest gratitude to our shareholders for their continued support. Following our 60th anniversary last September, this April marked the 5th anniversary of our management integration. We are deeply grateful to our shareholders and many other stakeholders for their long-standing support.

Our Mid-Term Business Plan, which ended in FY2026, focused on two main pillars: “transforming our business portfolio” and “strengthening our management foundation.” By shifting resources to growth domains and pursuing a strategy of offering a full lineup of powertrain units—a segment in which we are the global leader—we were able to successfully capture a wide range of demand, including for hybrid and gasoline-powered vehicles. Our profitability and capital efficiency have steadily improved, and we are seeing tangible results from our efforts to date.

Under the FYE2029 Mid-Term Business Plan launched this fiscal year, we will build on these achievements to accelerate our growth. We will pursue Speedy & Agile management by implementing initiatives across three key axes—product, region and function. On the product axis, we seek to enhance the profitability of flagship products and expand our product lineup, on the regional axis, we focus on strengthening business operations through region-based management, and on the functional axis, we aim to further solidify our management foundation.

On the product axis, we will work to strengthen our current earnings power and build up profits while simultaneously advancing initiatives aimed at medium- to long-term growth. Specifically, in addition to the domain that supports “propulsion, steering, and braking” and the domain that ensures “comfortable mobility,” we will actively invest in future growth in new business areas such as aftermarket and energy.

We will also focus on further deepening region-based management. We will work to ensure the manufacturing expertise we have honed in Japan takes root in local entities and to promote the localization of senior management and functions such as sales, procurement, and production—thereby strengthening our relationships with automakers around the world, leading to increase in global orders.

Such growth is supported by people who are eager to take on challenges and continue to grow. We are committed to investing in our people through initiatives such as workstyle reforms leveraging AI and digital transformation (DX), strengthening skills to develop professional talent, and promoting motivated individuals regardless of age. By enhancing employee engagement, we aim to create a “company where everyone takes on challenges with enthusiasm and both individuals and the company grow together.”

With an eye on the mobility society of the future, we are working to formulate a vision for 2035 while engaging all employees in a shared exploration of the question “What constitutes truly inspiring mobility?” While placing great importance on dialogue with our shareholders, we will pursue growth investments aimed at strengthening our competitiveness over the medium to long term and shareholder returns in a well-balanced manner, and we will further advance our transformation into a company that creates the value of “mobility.”
