Letter to Shareholders
The fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 (fiscal 2007), was an important year for Toyota Industries in
two major respects. First, we reached a milestone by marking the 80th anniversary of our founding,
and second, we initiated our new Medium-Term Management Plan announced in fall 2005.
In reflecting back on the past 80 years, our history can be characterized by our consistent
dedication to manufacturing. The Toyoda Type G automatic loom (weaving machine) completed in
1924 by company founder Sakichi Toyoda was significant because this weaving machine was able
to quickly detect breaking of yarn during the weaving process and automatically stop operating.
The development of this weaving machine highlighted a strong desire to eliminate waste and avoid
sending defective goods to post-processes. Guided by this thinking, which represents Toyota
Industries’ origins, together with the spirit of “contributing to society through manufacturing,” which
has been handed down through successive generations, we have steadily broadened the scope of
our business over the years from textile machinery to such domains as vehicles, automotive parts,
materials handling equipment and electronics.
Toyota Industries’ businesses today are extensions of these domains, in which we have
compiled many achievements.

(Projection) (Targets) (Announced Oct. 2005)
new GENEO has earned high acclaim from many customers. With this strategic lift truck, we plan
to aim for higher market share and increased profitability in working to be “undisputed No. 1” in the
global lift truck market.
With an eye toward maximizing synergies between the TOYOTA brand and the BT brand, in
April 2006 we officially launched the Toyota Material Handling Group (TMHG) as the framework for
integrating both entities. In undertaking operations, TMHG implements optimal policies in global
markets that are divided into the four geographic regions of Japan, North America, Europe and
International.
At the same time, key functions such as quality, R&D and plant operations are handled
taking a cross-sectional approach that transcends all geographic regions as we utilize the entire
capabilities of the Toyota Industries Group in making improvements and innovations. The launch
of TMHG has already yielded and we believe will continue to generate important synergies that
include mutually supplying each other’s brand products, undertaking joint development, promoting
the implementation of the Toyota Production System (TPS) at production bases worldwide
and reorganizing sales structures. Looking ahead, we plan to focus on the timely planning and
introduction of competitive new products and improvement of after-sales service.
testing center and increasing development staff. In responding accurately to TMC’s strategies, we
will strive to even more fully utilize our development and production capabilities within the Toyota
Group.
In the Car Air-Conditioning Compressor Business, although the rise in the percentage of new
vehicles fitted with air conditioners in the European market has slowed down, we foresee a growing
need for fuel-efficient air conditioners. Additionally, we anticipate higher demand particularly in
emerging markets such as the BRICs due to an increase in automobile sales.
Regarding medium-term targets, as a top manufacturer, Toyota Industries will aim to further
expand global market share while striving to increase its earnings power via thorough cost
reductions.
As we receive steadily increasing orders from
customers, our overriding theme is to respond
accurately to such increases by establishing an
optimized, global and flexible production structure.
Accordingly, Toyota Industries has made smooth
strides in expanding production capabilities.
Achievements include the start of production at
a second North American production base in the
U.S. state of Georgia in December 2005 followed
TD Automotive Compressor Kunshan Co., Ltd.
by the commencement of production at a plant
in China in April 2006. We are also focusing efforts on further expanding sales to automakers,
and during fiscal 2007 these efforts have enabled us to secure new customers, mainly comprising
European manufacturers of compact cars.
As a result, in fiscal 2007 we sold 20.45 million car air-conditioning compressors, surpassing 20
million units for the first time. Deploying our technological superiority as a competitive advantage,
we plan to continue to develop cutting-edge technologies and new products that contribute to new
car development as we respond to an ever-greater need for car air-conditioning compressors for
hybrid vehicles in addition to conventional engine-powered vehicles.
The Automobile Segment is also involved in car electronics and automotive stamping dies.
In other words, this segment is active in a broad range of fields covering the entire automobile
business from vehicle assembly and engines to components. To prevail amid severe competition,
we intend to strengthen collaboration among these businesses to leverage our strong overall
capabilities.
With this in mind, in January 2007 we established the Automotive Headquarters to fortify
collaboration among respective businesses in the Automobile Segment. We have now consolidated
and achieved close cooperation among the vehicle assembly, engine, automotive stamping dies and
car electronics businesses to create synergies. In so doing, we are actively contributing to TMC’s
global strategy. Besides strengthening each individual business, we plan to focus on increasing our
total strengths while elevating the potential and performance of the Automobile Segment.
clearly eliminated.
As a means of bolstering our safety initiatives in fiscal 2007, we implemented a variety of
initiatives such as improving management systems along with safety inspections and audits by the
executive vice president in charge of overseeing production. At the same time, in accordance with
the theme of making regular on-site inspections, top management continued to visit numerous
worksites in person to confirm that safety is categorically being maintained accompanied by
improvements in quality and productivity.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Toyota Industries Corporation (“the
Company”) and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then ended, all expressed in Japanese yen. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility

assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
