Factors
1) Automotive Business Operating Profit
-The Company recorded higher year-on-year operating revenue as a result of a recovery in production of regular and light trucks in Japan because of the demand created due to the country's recovering from the Great East Japan Earthquake, and as a result of eco-car sales incentives.

-In spite of the fact that the volume of regular trucks built for export was lower year-on-year starting from the second quarter and after, and the volume of light trucks built for export was lower year-on-year starting from the third quarter and after, exports for the year as a whole were higher. Production levels in Thailand were supported by strong demand seen the whole year, increasing significantly compared to those of the previous year. Production levels in the U.S.A. were higher year-on-year, thanks to greater demand that was driven by the economic recovery.

Recent Development Outside Japan

<Thailand>
-The Company is accelerating setting up a complementary production network in the Southeast Asian region. To meet growing demand for vehicles, focused on trucks, in the local market of Thailand, the Company will enhance production capacity of light truck parts in close collaboration with its facility in Indonesia, which plans to commence manufacture of truck components in early 2014. Furthermore, the Japanese stamping parts supplier is seeking to develop and produce highly competitive products to offer to local vehicle manufacturers for their new models. Thailand, in which its three plants are located, is positioned as the company's key supply base. The Company is poised to further promote rationalization at the facilities in an attempt to increase production capacity. The Indonesian plant capable of making heavy-duty truck parts is planning to add stamping parts like exterior panels. It will start operations in early 2014 in tandem with　the　plant in Thailand.

-The Company has set a sales target for fiscal 2012 in Thailand of 34.2 billion yen, up 60 percent from the previous year. It expects a significant gain in sales of parts, primarily for pickups. This year's production volume of vehicles in Thailand is projected to hit the highest record supported by recovery from the flooding damage of a year ago and a buoyant demand for compact vehicles. The Company, which owns three production facilities in Thailand, will continue high levels of investments to expand production capacity further.

<Indonesia>
-The Company will start production of truck parts in Indonesia as early as the end of 2013. Following startup of cabin assembly for construction machinery in October, PT. PK Manufacturing Indonesia, a subsidiary established in Karawang, West Java, on September 19, will go into the second phase of construction to build a new structure for assembling truck frames and large axles. Frame assembly capacity is intended to be boosted for some 200,000 vehicles a year in the future. The subsidiary will build a plant for construction machinery parts with a floor space of 11,000 square meters on the land of about 50,000 square meters at a cost of 1.2 billion yen (approximately $15.3 million). In the building a 5,000-ton stamping machine and a cationic electrodeposition coating line capable of painting 12-meter side members are installed. Furthermore, the Company will invest 2.2 billion yen (approximately $28 million) in construction of a commercial vehicle parts plant of 18,000 square meters so that it can go into operation at the end of next year.
