1. Outline of Operations and Business Results
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the Komatsu Group renewed record-high sales and profits, marking the fifth consecutive fiscal year of growth in both sales and profits.

Notes: | 1) | Starting from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, Komatsu changed its form of consolidated financial statement of income from single- to multiple-step. To ensure accurate comparison of the change from the pervious amounts for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the percentage was obtained after reclassifying the previously reported amounts. | ||
2) | On October 18, 2006, Komatsu sold 51.0% of the shares of Komatsu Electronic Metals Co., Ltd. (KEM, currently SUMCO TECHXIV CORPORATION) to SUMCO CORPORATION. The Company held a 61.9% equity interest. Accordingly, KEM and its subsidiaries were no longer consolidated in Komatsus results. On January 30, 2007, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell the outdoor power equipment (OPE) business of Komatsu Zenoah Co. to a Japanese subsidiary of Husqvarna AB of Sweden. Accordingly, the OPE business of Komatsu Zenoah and its subsidiary engaging in the OPE business will no longer be consolidated in Komatsus results. The concerned sale was completed on April 2, 2007. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, operating results related to Komatsu Electronic Metals and its subsidiaries as well as the OPE business of Komatsu Zenoah are presented as one line, income from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Consolidated net sales reached ¥1,893.3 billion (US$16,045 million). In the construction and mining equipment segment, the Komatsu Group continued to increase sales for the year under review by effectively capitalizing on expanded market demand resulting from buoyant developments of commodities and infrastructure around the world. In the industrial machinery, vehicles and others segment, all related Komatsu Group companies recorded good performance and advanced sales. Sales of the electronics segment declined from the previous year, as primarily affected by the sale of the polycrystalline silicon business which was executed last fiscal year.
5
Operating income for the year advanced to ¥244.7 billion (US$2,074 million), and operating income ratio improved by 2.8 percentage points to 12.9%. Profits further improved due not only to expanded sales, centering on construction and mining equipment, but also to the realization of prices for construction equipment both in Japan and abroad. Income from continuing operations before income taxes, minority interests and equity in earnings of affiliated companies reached ¥236.4 billion (US$2,004 million), reflecting a substantial increase in operating profit. Net income for the year, the sum of income from continuing and discontinued operations, totaled ¥164.6 billion (US$1,395 million).
Results by operation are summarized below.

Accordingly, the changes in percentage are stated after retrospectively reclassifying related figures for the previous year. |
Construction and Mining Equipment
Consolidated net sales of construction and mining equipment for the fiscal year under review advanced 21.4% over the previous year, to ¥1,567.7 billion (US$13,286 million). As the markets for our equipment continued to grow worldwide, we expanded our production capacity in cooperation with suppliers, worked jointly with our distributors to launch renewed models, which are compliant with new emission gas regulations in Japan, North America and Europe, and reinforced our sales and service operations in Greater Asia in particular.
With respect to production, we proactively expanded our capacity for key components, such as engines and hydraulic equipment. In January this year, we opened the Ibaraki Plant in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, where we started the production of large dump trucks and wheel loaders. In India where the economy has been growing rapidly, we established Komatsu India Private Limited and also embarked on the production of large dump trucks for which we project demand will accelerate into the future.

Japan
While public-sector investments remained slack, private-sector capital outlays increased. Exports of used equipment facilitated market stock adjustment, expanding demand for new equipment, especially in the rental industry.
Sales in Japan improved from the previous year, supported by not only expanded sales of new equipment, which is compliant with the new emission gas regulations, and price realization, but also increased sales of used equipment. We also worked to further improve management efficiency, including the merger of 10 affiliated rental companies in October 2006.
The Americas
In North America, while demand declined for small equipment in particular, as affected by the slowing housing starts in the United States, demand for other equipment remained brisk in non-residential construction works, highway-related works and resource development. In Latin America, demand, primarily for mining equipment, increased. Under such an environment, we promoted our efforts to expand sales of Tier 3-compliant models and to realize our prices in North America. We also worked to reinforce sales and product support capabilities for the mining industry in both regions. As a result, sales in both North and Latin Americas increased from the previous year.
Europe & CIS
In Europe, market demand improved in Germany, the largest European market, and in eastern Europe, continuing to expand the markets. In addition, we worked to step up sales of Tier 3-compliant models, including a large wheel loader with reinforced capabilities, streamline production, and strengthen distribution networks in eastern Europe. As a result, sales in Europe improved from the previous year.
In the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS: former Soviet republics), sales expanded driven by strong demand in resource development-related sectors and infrastructure development in metropolitan areas.
China
The Chinese market continued to generate a high rate of growth in demand for our equipment during the year, as the number of civil engineering projects increased in line with rural area development measures of the 11th Five-Year Guidelines and ongoing urbanization. The mining industry worked to streamline operational efficiency and develop new mines. We also focused efforts to streamline our production and sales operations based on business negotiation and machine operation information obtained through IT deployment. We also expanded sales of mining equipment centering on large dump trucks. As a result, sales in China accelerated from the previous year.
7
Asia & Oceania
While strong sales of mining equipment continued especially in Oceania, demand recovered in civil engineering, agriculture and forestry sectors in Indonesia, the largest Southeast Asian market. As a result, sales in Asia and Oceania improved from the previous year.
The Middle East & Africa
Demand continued to expand, primarily driven by an increase in the number of infrastructure development projects in Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries as well as in Turkey, and by buoyant mine developments in African countries. Under these market conditions, we carried out aggressive sales activities and worked to reinforce our product support capabilities. As a result, sales in the Middle East and Africa accelerated from the previous year.
Industrial Machinery, Vehicles and Others
Consolidated net sales of industrial machinery, vehicles and other operations reached ¥298.0 billion (US$2,526 million), up 6.6% over the previous year, reflecting strong sales recorded by main subsidiaries, such as Komatsu Forklift Co., Ltd. and Komatsu Industries Corporation.
Komatsu Forklift stepped up sales by not only expanding sales in the Middle East, Asia and other overseas markets but also launching fully renewed, battery-powered models. In August 2006, Komatsu Ltd. bought the 35.0% of Komatsu Forklifts equity held by Linde AG of Germany, making Komatsu Forklift a wholly owned subsidiary.
In the industrial machinery business, sales of Komatsu Industries sheet metal and press machines were brisk. With respect to large presses, Komatsu Ltd. launched production at the new plant in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture in January this year, expanding its production capacity to meet growing orders for AC Servo technology-incorporated presses. The Company also acquired 29.3% of the equity of NIPPEI TOYAMA CORPORATION, which enjoys a large market share of transfer machines and lathes for use in machining automobile engines, building a collaborative relationship in the areas of sheet metal and press machines as well as machine tools.
Concerning the outdoor power equipment business of Komatsu Zenoah Co., Komatsu Ltd. signed a definitive agreement to sell it to a Japanese subsidiary of Husqvarna AB of Sweden. The sale was completed in April 2007.
Electronics
Komatsu Electronics Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary engaging in the production and sale of temperature-control equipment for semiconductor manufacturing, expanded sales for the year. However, sales from the electronics operation declined 33.4% from the previous year, to ¥27.5 billion (US$234 million), as affected mainly by declined sales resulting from the sale of the polycrystalline silicon business executed last fiscal year.
In October 2006, Komatsu Ltd. accepted SUMCOs tender offer for Komatsu Electronic Metals Co., Ltd. (KEM) and sold 51.0% of the shares of KEM. The Company had held a total of 61.9%.
8
2. Conditions of Consolidated Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by ¥26.0 billion over the previous year, to ¥162.1 billion (US$1,374 million), due to further improvements of business results resulting from successful operating activities, which covered an increase in working capital against the backdrop of expanded demand. Net cash used in investing activities totaled ¥99.6 billion (US$844 million), an increase of ¥17.8 billion from the previous year, reflecting growth in investments made to proactively expand production capacities and improve productivity in Japan and abroad. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to ¥41.3 billion (US$351 million), a decrease of ¥42.0 billion from the previous year.
As a result, cash and cash equivalents totaled ¥92.1 billion (US$781 million) at March 31, 2007, an increase of ¥22.2 billion compared to a year ago.

3. Projections for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2008
(From April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008)
While there are some factors of concern in the construction and mining equipment business, such as the slowing U.S. housing starts, the Komatsu Group anticipates that investments in energy-related and infrastructure developments will continue to expand. Thus, sales of equipment should increase in tandem with growth in demand. In response to such a market environment, the Komatsu Group will expand its production capacity and work to improve profits by launching new products and realizing prices. In the industrial machinery business as well, the Komatsu Group expects to boost sales against the backdrop of strong capital outlays.
Concerning the consolidated business results following the previous fiscal year, the Komatsu Group is working to renew record-high sales, operating income, income from continuing operations before income taxes, minority interests and equity in earnings of affiliated companies, and net income for the year.

4. | Basic Policy for Redistribution of Profits and Projections for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 and the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2008 |
Komatsu is building a sound financial position and flexible and agile corporate strength to increase its corporate value. Concerning cash dividends to shareholders, the Company maintains the policy of redistributing profits by first striving to continue stable dividends and then considering consolidated business results, while working for the goal of a consolidated payout ratio of 20% or higher.

Revising projected cash dividends for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007
Komatsu Ltd. (President & CEO: Masahiro Sakane) announced today, the Board of Directors, in its meeting held on April 26, 2007, passed a resolution to revise the projection of cash dividends per share as follows.
1. Reason for the revision
Komatsu is building a sound financial position and flexible and agile corporate strength to increase its corporate value. Concerning cash dividends to shareholders, the Company maintains the basic policy of redistributing profits by first striving to continue stable dividends and then considering consolidated business results, while working for the goal of a consolidated payout ratio of 20% or higher.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, centering on the construction and mining equipment business, the Komatsu Group recorded good business results and larger-than-projected net income from continuing operations. Accordingly, Komatsu plans to increase the year-end dividends to ¥18, up ¥4 from the previous forecast. This increase requires approval of the 138th general shareholders meeting scheduled for June 22, 2007.
Together with interim dividends of ¥13 per share which were already paid, annual dividends will total ¥31 per share, an increase of ¥13 from the previous fiscal year. Payout ratio based on net income from continuing operations will amount to 20.1%.
