Reviewing the world economy for fiscal 2024, it remained steady mainly in the U.S., where employment stayed strong, despite the effects of high inflation and interest rates and a stagnant real estate market in China. The automotive market grew significantly from the previous year, thanks to a surge of pent-up demand as semiconductor supply constraints eased.
Added
Reviewing the world economy for fiscal 2025, the U.S. economy remained resilient, supported by stable employment and income conditions. In China, although the real estate downturn continued to weigh on the economy, fiscal policy measures provided underlying support.

(“Toyota Fudosan”) announced the intention to conduct a series of transactions are aimed to result in, among other things, Toyota Industries being taken private.
Added
Toyota Industries is an equity method associate of TMC; it also owns 9.16% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of March 31, 2025. Background TMC is taking measures to “transform into a mobility company” and aiming to contribute to the development of the mobility industry in Japan and the world through these measures.
Added
Mobility involves four perspectives, namely, the movement of people, goods, information, and energy. Among these, TMC is working on the evolution of cars from the perspective of movement of people and is aiming to contribute to the realization of a “mobility society” full of smiles.
Added
On the other hand, TMC believes that in order for the Toyota Group to “transform into a mobility company,” it is necessary to focus not only on movement of people but also on movement of goods.
Added
TMC believes that Toyota Industries, which engages in the materials handling equipment business within the Toyota Group for development, manufacture, and sale of products and services of wide-ranging domains, from lift trucks to logistics equipment and systems, and which is a leading company regarding the movement of goods, is indispensable for these transformations, and that it is important to further strengthen its competitiveness.
Added
In addition, Toyota Group companies have been working to improve capital efficiency by selling shares mutually held among Toyota Group companies and effectively leveraging the funds obtained through the sale, while maintaining the capital ties that have sustained a strong relationship among the group companies.
Added
As a result, TMC came to consider that Toyota Industries’ utilizing the Toyota Group’s platforms (such as network, business, technology, human resources) to the utmost extent, deepening business collaboration and cooperation with Toyota Group companies, and achieving growth from a long-term perspective as a leading company regarding movement of goods, while maintaining and strengthening its current revenue business base, without preconceiving concerns over short-term deterioration of business performance, will contribute to improvement of the corporate value of Toyota Industries and ultimately the entire Toyota Group, which is advancing initiatives for the transformation into a mobility company.
Added
Based on the above background, the parties agreed that Toyota Industries should go private in order for Toyota Industries to lead within the Toyota Group the business domain centered on movement of goods, such as materials handling equipment and logistics solutions, while the Toyota Group transforms into a corporate group that leads the mobility industry supporting the movement of people, goods, information, and energy, and to strengthen the competitiveness of Toyota Industries’ automotive business through further deepening of collaboration with the Toyota Group.
