Message from the President

Transcription

1 Message from the President I am deeply grateful for the support we have received from all our stakeholders. Fiscal 2014, the year ended March 31, 2014, was the second year of our Global Mid-term Policy. Higher production of automobiles in advanced economies and China, cost reduction efforts, and exchange gains from yen depreciation led to growth in both sales and income. Net sales rose 14.4% year on year to 4,095.9 billion, operating income expanded 44.0% year on year to billion, income before income taxes grew 48.5% year on year to billion, and net income increased 58.2% to billion. The results for fiscal 2014 were better than the Company's performance prior to the Lehman Shock. In April 2013, we drew up the "DENSO Group Long-term Policy 2020." The DENSO Group shares the one goal of "Protecting lives, Preserving the planet, and Preparing a bright future for generations to come." We aim to deliver convenience as well as the joy of driving to people all over the world, while striving to balance growth with sustaining the global environment, as well as a society where each and every one of us can live in peace, safety, and happiness. We hope to contribute to the creation of such a society while gaining the confidence of all of our stakeholders. I sincerely appreciate the ongoing support of all our stakeholders. July 2014

2 Interview with the President Q1 A Please give us an update on the Global Mid-term Policy. How much progress has been made? On creating the DENSO Group Global Mid-term Policy, we set several objectives for fiscal 2016 (the year ending March 2016), namely to expand business to ensure continuous future growth, to evolve by continuing to develop world-first products, and to facilitate Group-wide collaboration worldwide and speed up corporate management. In fiscal 2014, the second year of the Global Mid-term Policy, the DENSO Group expanded business globally. In the environmental field, we developed a new diesel common rail fuel injection system with the world's highest injection pressure of 2,500 bar. In the security and safety field, we developed active safety systems that prevent traffic accidents from happening for not only luxury vehicles, but also compact cars, large-scale trucks, and large tourist busses. Leveraging our technologies in automotive products, we made progress on expanding aftermarket business and new businesses. As a result of these initiatives, in fiscal 2014, the DENSO Group achieved ahead of schedule its targets for net sales of 4,000 billion and an operating margin of 8.0%. With fiscal 2015 the final year of the Global Mid-term Policy, the DENSO Group is determined to see through its ongoing business activities to satisfactory outcomes.

3 Q2 What is your view of business conditions inside and outside Japan? A In fiscal 2014, the world economy grew at a faster clip than last year, even though growth slowed in emerging countries. In Japan, the economy was buoyed by stimulus measures and yen depreciation. Turning to the automotive industry, despite signs of slowing growth in emerging markets in Asia, such as Thailand and India, the automobile industry expanded overall, achieving record-setting sales volume thanks to market growth in China and advanced economies including North America. In Japan, sales were partially affected by the downward correction to robust demand attributable to eco-car subsidiaries during the previous year. Looking at the year as a whole, however, sales volumes increased owing to a pick-up in the economy, the launch of compelling new models, and the front-loading of demand prior to the consumption tax hike. In fiscal 2015, we project that the global economy will expand moderately, driven by growth in advanced economies while growth continues to taper in emerging economies. Regarding the Japanese economy, we are concerned that domestic demand will be weak for a while in the wake of the consumption tax hike, but we expect gentle expansion from the second half of the year on the back of strong exports and economic stimulus measures. Turning to the automobile industry, we forecast mild growth overall, as economic growth may flatten out in emerging countries. In Japan, we expect demand to be weaker than the previous year owing to the consumption tax hike.

4 Q3 What measures are being taken to bolster competitiveness? A The DENSO Group has been developing new products and production lines to strengthen its cost competitiveness. In fiscal 2014, DENSO developed the world's first automotive climate control units for automobiles that can be installed in a wide range of models, from compact car to luxury vehicles, without regard to manufacturer or sales region. Using new technologies to shrink the size of components by 20% and innovative engineering to conform the dimensions to car designs, we were able to standardize air conditioning units, which had until now differed for each car model, down to six varieties from the previous 18 types. As a consequence, development costs, which had been required for each car model, have been reduced considerably. The new air conditioning systems have been deployed in the Harrier, Noah, and Voxy models. We aim to expand their deployment to other models while accelerating the development of more standardized products like this. Moreover, DENSO continued to transition to leaner and more competitive plants. In fiscal 2014, we broadened the scope of this transition from the field of forging to the field of treatment processing, and developed a revolutionary painting facility that requires only 1/15th the space at 1/5th the equipment cost, and also realized a 30% reduction in processing costs. We plan to deploy this painting facility to our other plants. In fiscal 2015, we forecast a temporary decline in profits as domestic automobile output decreases following the consumption tax hike and as we make investments to enhance our future competitiveness. From fiscal 2016 onward, however, we look for earnings to increase as we should begin to see returns on our investments in new plants and products while benefits crystallize from our efforts to strengthen cost competitiveness.

5 Q4 What are your views on shareholder returns? A At DENSO, we strive to meet the expectations of all shareholders through consistent increases in cash dividends, giving due consideration to a comprehensive range of factors, including consolidated performance and the dividend payout ratio. Our dividend payout ratio target is 30%. We will consider future returns after the minimum required earnings retention for appropriate investment and development, taking into account the difficult business environment. In light of our recent performance and the operating environment, we declared an annual dividend of per share for the fiscal 2014, an increase of from the previous year. We are continually striving to provide a stable return of profits to shareholders.

6 DENSO Group s Global Mid-term Policy In fiscal 2014, we were able to achieve our Mid-tem Policy targets for both sales and operating income ahead of schedule. In fiscal 2015, the final year of the DENSO Group Global Mid-term Policy, we will bring the activities on which we have been working to a firm conclusion and make progress in planning the next mid-term policy. Major Policies Basic Strategies and Progress Basic Strategies 1. Strategies to Expand Business for Ensuring Our Continuous Growth in Future Years Strengthen relationship with automakers and expand business in growing emerging markets. Develop system products that make vehicles more attractive for customers. Expand aftermarket business and develop new businesses. 2. Evolve by Continuing to Develop World's First Products Improve capabilities of product development focusing on world's first technologies. Establish global procurement, production and supply systems, that makes us (extremely) cost competitive.

7 3. Facilitating Group-wide Collaboration Worldwide and Speeding-up Corporate Management Strengthen our foundation to facilitate the collaboration of 120,000 associates in the DENSO Group. Foster a corporate climate that encourages associates to act quickly. Progress in FY2014 Under the Mid-term Policy Key points While global automobile production increased by 4.3% year on year, our sales increased by 14.4%, meaning that our sales growth surpassed the increase in production. Despite the increases in expenses and labor costs, operating income grew significantly, rising 44.0% year on year, due to production volume increase and the currency exchange gain, in addition to the cost reduction effort. In fiscal 2015, it is expected that the stagnation in developing countries will continue but that, overall, there will be moderate growth. In Japan, increased sales and decreased income are expected on account of the anticipated effect of the tax hike on consumer spending.

8 Approaches into New Businesses Fields We have identified efforts to foster new businesses as one of the core pillars of the DENSO Group Global Mid-term Policy and are working to expand businesses in order to secure sustainable growth.

12 Performance and Outlook by Segments Japan Results for fiscal 2014 In the domestic automobile market, sales increased 10.3% year on year to 2,717.6 billion. Despite the reactionary decline from the effect of the Japanese government's subsidies for eco-friendly vehicles of the previous year, the number of vehicles sold during the year increased due to economic recovery, the market entry of attractive new models, and increased demand ahead of a consumption tax hike. Despite increased expenses, including R&D expenses, operating income soared 66.0% year on year, to billion, due to such factors as increase in production volume and the currency exchange gain, in addition to the cost reduction effort. Approach for fiscal 2015 Demand is forecast to be temporarily sluggish as an effect of the consumption tax hike, but it is envisaged that the Japanese economy will make a gradual recovery from the second half onward, underpinned by strong exports and economic measures. Under these circumstances, we will be painstaking in optimum allocation of limited resources and move ahead with power shifts toward growth fields and operational efficiencies. At the same time, we will make ongoing strategic investments such as in new process methods tailored to the evolution of our products and investments with high cost-reduction effects that incorporate 1/N production equipment with regard to the creation of plants that are linked to improvements in our global competitiveness and value added. In addition, to lead the Company to future growth we will make contributions to both revenue and society by promoting broader sales strategies that anticipate automaker trends as well as by aftermarket sales expansion and the commercialization of new businesses.

14 Performance and Outlook by Segments North America Results for fiscal 2014 The U.S. automobile market showed strong sales and production due to the U.S. economic recovery, and the Company recorded increases in both its sales and income. Sales increased 28.5% year on year, to billion, due to the increase in the number of cars produced by GM, Ford, Chrysler (collectively, the Detroit Three), and Toyota and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) unit sales expansion. Operating income rose 9.1%, to 14.7 billion, due to such factors as gains in capacity utilization brought about by the sales increase. Approach for fiscal 2015 It is envisaged that there will be growth in consumer spending, due to such factors as an improvement in the employment environment and a recovery in the housing market, and that the rate of economic growth will rise. Under these circumstances, we will carry on from the previous year and further our efforts to expand sales to the Detroit Three and commercial vehicle and agricultural and construction equipment manufacturers in addition to expanding aftermarket business with a view to M&A. We will also further evolve hitozukuri (employee development) and monozukuri (the art of making things) on a localized basis and work to reduce variable costs, particularly for example by the local procurement of equipment and molds as well as components. In R&D, we will make progress in creating products that match the needs of the North American market by the localization of design.

16 Performance and Outlook by Segments Europe Results for fiscal 2014 In Europe, both sales and income increased, sales by 34.0%, to billion, as a result the gradual recovery from the economic slump and the effect of the yen's depreciation. Operating income soared 216.1%, to 12.4 billion, due to such factors as production volume increase. Approach for fiscal 2015 It is envisaged that there will be gradual improvements in the employment and income environments along with an export-driven economic boost that will result in a rise in the rate of economic growth. In addition to ongoing sales promotion activities centering on European customers, we will leverage those contacts and put into place competitive production systems that also set DENSO products apart from those of our rivals to expand sales to businesses in the other regions. With a view to future growth, we will target business expansion, particularly into the security and safety field, and the development of new products using technologies developed in Europe. In addition, we will be working to acquire advanced technologies that leverage alliances.

18 Performance and Outlook by Segments Asia & Oceania Results for fiscal 2014 Although economic growth slowed down in emerging markets, such as Thailand and India, these were buoyed up by the robust Chinese market. Overall, there was an increase in the number of vehicles produced, resulting in our sales increasing by 18.8% year on year, to billion. On the other hand, as operating income of 71.2 billion was 3.3% lower compared with the previous fiscal year, due to such factors as increases in labor costs and the startup costs of the plants and technical centers designed to strengthen our future competitiveness. Approach for fiscal 2015 The slowdown in growth in emerging countries is expected to continue, but as the region's potential for market growth remains as high as ever, we will take future growth into account in the construction of production and supply systems and of mutually complementary networks within the ASEAN region. We will also proceed with the local procurement of equipment and components to mainly realize expansion in sales for compact cars. In the area of technical development, we will develop locally optimized products in close collaboration with technical centers and connect these to sales expansion achieved by setting DENSO products apart from those of other companies.

26 Through the DENSO style of (the art of making things), cutting-edge product development and innovative self-development and self-production of essential technologies, DENSO has generated a range of "world-first" products. This uncompromising stance on has laid the foundations for DENSO's increased competitiveness and enhanced corporate value. Supporting this creation of new value are a large number of engineers and technical personnel. DENSO believes that is, which is to say, the art of making good things is the same thing as the art of making good people, and this is the source and driving force behind value creation for DENSO. This Special Feature presents efforts in DENSO-style, which confronts the challenges of creating new value, and the that brings to fruition. Monozukuri Dantotsu (outstanding) Plants DENSO is working on a transition to superior plants to make its domestic production more competitive. We are targeting increased production efficiency through such measures as cutting processing costs through faster and more continually operating production lines, applying initiatives including the use of 1/N production equipment*. Reduced administrative costs and overheads from the rationalization of logistics and inspections and reduced material costs from reform of procurement and lower purchased parts costs will also contribute to increased efficiency. The Company will advance the extension of these facilities to overseas plants. *Equipment that significantly reduces floor area, investment costs, and by processing costs by aligning production volume (economic units) with assembly, through more-compact production facilities and upgrading the production line.

28 Development Case Study: Small-Scale Electric Die-Casting System One metal mold manufacturing method, die casting, is normally undertaken at large facilities, as the process involves the high-temperature melting and high-pressure injection of metal. Due to its innovation in process methods, DENSO has developed a small-scale electric die-casting system that has significantly reduced the size of the area covered by the facilities and the amount of energy used. Until now Large-scale hydraulic pressure die-casting Now Small-scale electric die-casting system The thinking behind this approach Fills unfilled sections (cavities inside the product) under high pressure Upsizing generates high pressure by hydraulic pump Exterior view: height 4.0m The thinking behind this approach Development of products in which it will be hard for unfilled sections to form even under low pressure Realizing electrification and simplification by low pressure. Exterior view: height 1.8m Product cross section Product cross section If low pressure used, can easily result in unfilled sections (cavities inside the product) Hard for unfilled sections to form, even under low pressure Pressure processing 68MPa 1/2 33MPa Floor area 14m 2 height 4.0m 1/6 5.5m 2 height 1.8m

29 Efforts in Sharing of Parts / Standardization Among the world's automakers, moves on the sharing of parts and standardization are gaining pace. There is thus the possibility of a significant reduction in the number of development processes for parts that previously differed between each type of car and each automaker, and improvements in both development efficiency and productivity are expected. In the case of upper body products, an area in which design and function are important, efforts are made to set DENSO products apart by reflecting regional and customer needs. Contrastingly, in the case of under body products, DENSO is targeting the development of next-generation products that incorporate improvements in terms of product capabilities at the same time as standardization by combining a number of competitive core technologies. DENSO s Goal: Standardization of the Good Products while Reducing the Type of Product Upper body products (Information/ Telecommunication, Safety Products) Differentiation of the function and the design to reflect regional needs Under body products (Platforms, Unit Products, and Devise) Standardization of the good products while reducing the type of product Regional Tastes / Environment Differentiation (Variation) Standardization Adjustment Optimal location and Products Development without Galapagosization based on other car makers in the future Core engineering which has competitiveness (Global Standards) Universal Value of Vehicles Smaller and lighter, and high-fuel efficiency Platform Marketability Appeal Regional Lows / Environment Car Electronics System Standardization of the system and technology to realize improve marketability in timely manner (Flexibility / Extensibility). Development Case Study: New Automotive Climate Control Unit The first of its kind in the world, this new automotive climate control unit can be shared by automakers, in products ranging from compact to luxury cars, and across sales regions. This was achieved by new DENSO technologies that reduced the unit's size by 20% and by significant standardization (from 18 models to 6) that was enabled by an innovative structure that has achieved commonality in vehicle design. From the production aspect, too, the new product realizes a convention-breaking level of standardization in its method of assembly, so that all 6 models can be assembled on a single production line.

30 Downsizing New Structure Downsizing by 20% from conventional model enable HVAC to be installed in vehicles ranging from compact to luxury cars. A new structure which enabled standarization of components while realizing required performance. Hitozukuri There are a total of a little less than 140,000 people working in the DENSO Group. The Group's varied and individual associates around the world have integral parts of the corporate DNA passed down to them, such as DENSO's attitude toward, and share values to grow and develop further. The DENSO Spirit In the DENSO Group, the DENSO Spirit clearly expresses our stance regarding the values of "Foresight, Credibility and Collaboration," which have been implicit since the foundation of DENSO Corporation and a driving force behind our activities. The DENSO Spirit has been translated into 17 languages and shared among associates. We are working hard to enhance training policies to develop associates who can study on their own and think for themselves, and who continually seek new challenges. Having put in place management systems tied closely to different countries and regions, we are implementing a range of initiatives.

55 Cutting-edge R&D Innovations: DENSO s Thoughts on Future Car Society Amid reports that errors in awareness and handling as well as of judgment on the part of drivers are contributory factors in 75% of all road traffic accidents, DENSO is accelerating the development of technologies linked to proper car handling. These technologies correctly recognize the driving conditions, convey audio and video information about those conditions to drivers, and are linked to proper car handling in order to accurately support driver awareness, handling, and judgment. Here, we provide an example of those efforts. Interactive Communication Cockpit Realized through DENSO's accumulated sensing and human-machine interface (HMI) technologies, the Interactive Communication Cockpit represents the safety and security technologies of the near future. Sensing technologies These technologies combine information from multiple sensors to more reliably project recognized images showing the presence of pedestrians and bicycles or leverage vehicle-to-vehicle communication and infrastructure-to-vehicle communication technologies, so that drivers detect the presence of blind-spot hazards. HMI technologies These technologies link meters with a head-up display and remote touch controller to provide drivers with necessary video and audio information at the appropriate time and in an easily understood format. DENSO will continue to advance R&D with an eye to the future, to reach the stage where driving is made safer, more secure, and more enjoyable by car to driver communication. More development of the technologies installed in the Interactive Communication Cockpit will be conducted toward product commercialization at an early stage.

56 Key technologies 1 Communication Robot: Provides information through dialogue with the driver. A friendly humanoid robot provides information through dialogue based on a driver's individuality and preferences. The robot is designed to give a sense of security, and a safe and fun driving experience. 2 Large LCD Display: Presents information flexibly Depending on the driving situation, the large LCD flexibly adjusts its display mode to make the information easier to read.

57 3 Large Head-up Display: Presents information in a safe manner Drivers can safely obtain information while keeping their eyes on the road ahead.

58 1 Corporate Governance Basic Stance DENSO believes that establishing a corporate governance system designed to strengthen Group competitiveness is the key to maintaining and improving long-term corporate performance in a quickly changing global marketplace. It is also essential to promoting CSR management that is essential for sustainable growth on an ongoing basis. We are working to strengthen our corporate governance in accordance with this belief. Promotion Structure DENSO Corporation has adopted a corporate auditor system. In addition to statutory bodies such as the General Meeting of Shareholders, Board of Directors, Board of Audit and Supervisory Board Members and Accounting Auditor, DENSO Corporation has developed various internal control mechanisms. For rapid decision making and the execution of our operations, we have adopted an executive officer system that separates and clarifies the roles of the Board of Directors that is charged with management (decision making / oversight) and the senior managing directors and managing officers who are responsible for business execution.

59 Overview of Corporate Governance System Format Number of directors Number of outside directors Term of directors Number of Audit and Supervisory Board members Number of outside Audit and Supervisory Board members Number of meetings of Board of Directors Policy regarding incentives for directors Number of independent officers Remuneration disclosure Retirement benefit allowance system for Audit and Supervisory Board members As of June 20, 2014 Audit & Supervisory Board system year Stock option system 4 Disclosure of total figure None Total for the period from April 2013 to March 2014

60 Director Remuneration Monthly remuneration has been set within the range of the maximum amount of total compensation (Directors: 80 million a month; Audit and Supervisory Board members: 15 million a month) determined by resolution at a General Shareholders' Meeting. Upon receipt of the Board of Director's authority, the representative director decides the monthly remuneration of each director on the basis of Company-set criteria, the remuneration of each Audit and Supervisory Board members being decided following consultation with the auditor. Following approval by resolution at an Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting, a number of stock options are granted to directors by rank. However, since it was difficult to offer stock options as an incentive following the chaos in the markets, the stock options granted up to and including fiscal 2010 were continued until the end of the period in which they could be exercised, and stock options not granted from fiscal 2011 onward. Following its resolution at an Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting, bonuses to be paid to the Board of Directors receives approval. The amount of bonus for each director, which takes into account the level of contribution directors have made to the Company, is then determined by the representative director upon receipt of the Board of Directors' authority. At the Board of Directors' meeting held on May 12, 2014, a resolution was passed abolishing the payment of bonuses to auditors to further strengthen auditor independence with regard to management. Compensation of Directors Compensation of Directors and Audit and Supervisory Board members for fiscal 2014 is as follows. Position Total compensation ( million) Total compensation by type ( million) Base Stock option Base Retirement benefits Directors / Audit and Supervisory Board members Directors Audit and Supervisory Board members Outside Directors

61 2 Compliance Basic Stance We believe that key actions to earn the trust and understanding of society pertain to the DENSO Group's observance of all applicable national and regional laws and all Group associates' fair and faithful conduct with the highest ethical standards. We see compliance as not only the observance of laws but also a responsibility to meet the expectations of stakeholders. In this sense, we consider it to be the cornerstone of all conduct. Based on this recognition, in 2006 we adopted the Code of Conduct for DENSO Group Associates, which clearly indicates the standards of conduct for each and every associate. While developing the Code of Conduct for DENSO Group Associates, we consulted the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations Global Compact, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and the Charter of Corporate Behavior formulated by Nippon Keidanren (Japan Business Federation). Since the Code was adopted, we confirm the Code in training and workplace activities and utilize it for raising CSR awareness of associates. Overseas Group uses a regional version of the Code of Conduct for DENSO Group Associates formulated by their regional headquarters in accordance with national and regional laws and customs. Key Items in the Code of Conduct for DENSO Group Associates I. Your conduct as a member of the DENSO Group Recognizing your role in society / Integrity as the foundation of trust / Compliance with laws and ethical principles II. Creating a vibrant workplace Understanding DENSO's philosophy and values and pursuing personal development / Respecting human rights, ensuring open communication and respecting the privacy of others / Maintaining mental and physical health and maintaining a healthy workplace / Maintaining order and ethics in the workplace / Maintaining a clear distinction between public and private matters III. Earning trust and meeting the expectations of customers Remembering to express appreciation, providing ureshisa (consideration) and yasashisa (fulfillment), and providing timely and sincere solutions / Transactions based on free and fair competition

62 IV. Building win-win relationships with our suppliers Adherence to laws related to competition such as antitrust laws and subcontracting laws as well as the contract conditions of agreements with suppliers and affiliated service stores / Respecting intellectual property rights V. Living up to the trust and expectations of our shareholders Managing corporate assets effectively and preventing risk / Practicing proper accounting / Managing inside information VI. Upholding the best interests of society Pursuing eco-friendly practices / Serving as a member of your community / Taking a forceful stand against anti-social organizations and ensuring moderate relationships with governmental authorities / Serving as a member of the automotive industry 3 CSR Promotion System Basic Stance In our corporate philosophy, we describe our mission as "contributing to a better world by creating value together with a vision for the future." Cooperating, collaborating, and sharing values with our many stakeholders are indispensable to achieving this mission based on corporate behavior that earns the trust and support of society. To ensure that all Group companies conducting business worldwide put this philosophy into practice, we adopted the DENSO Group Declaration of Corporate Behavior in April 2006, making clear our responsibility to stakeholders. We have placed corporate social responsibility (CSR) at the core of our management and are working to contribute to building a sustainable society through our business activities. Promotion Structure In 2006, we established the CSR Promotion Meeting (secretariat: CSR Promotion Center), which is chaired by the president and in which the basic policies behind CSR activities are discussed and examined. The meeting is held twice yearly to set the direction for and make decisions on CSR management and to confirm the progress of CSR-related activities. To lead the way in promoting CSR at workplaces and Group companies, we select one CSR leader at each department and company in line with efforts to permeate and firmly establish CSR.

63 4 Risk Management Basic Stance In keeping with the global expansion of business, the DENSO Group is striving to strengthen risk management as part of its internal control system to help minimize risk. Specifically, emergence of circumstances with the potential to cause damage to corporate management are classified as risks (situations in which risks have not yet been realized) and crises (emergency situations in which risks have already been realized). For the former, efforts focus on nipping risks in the bud before they have the chance to manifest themselves; for the latter, DENSO strives to make an initial response and response for restoring business operations in a prompt and appropriate manner. Promotion Structure We selected 55 risk items with the potential to impact life, credit, business activities, or property; and designated a responsible department for each. Activities for ongoing improvement in the risk management system and structure and permeation of risk management are now the domain of the CSR Promotion Meeting, while the Risk Management Meeting deals with initial response when a crisis or emergency situation arises. We also form specialized contingency organizations depending on the extent of the situation and degree of urgency, which facilitates agile response to minimize damage.

64 We integrated the traditional roles of the general risk manager into those of the CSR leader at domestic and overseas companies subject to our managerial consolidation rules as well as Group companies in which DENSO Corporation is the largest shareholder, and appointed risk managers for each risk item under that umbrella. We are constantly working to upgrade our risk management based on support from key functional departments and overseas regional headquarters.

65 Intellectual Property Activities DENSO's intellectual property strategy is directed at unifying its business unit and technology strategies, and it is one of the important management strategies that will sustain growth into the future. Intellectual Property Activities Policy DENSO believes that business unit strategies will not be viable unless they are backed by intellectual property (IP) strategies and is consequently unifying the two accordingly. In line with the DENSO Group's Global Mid-term Policy, the Company promotes activities to establish a focused patent portfolio for world-first and systems products as well as IP activities related to open innovation. The Company is supporting efforts to expand its business and achieve continued growth from the IP standpoint by utilizing the patents that have been acquired in a strategic manner. Respect for other companies IP rights DENSO sees problems related to other companies' IP rights as equally important as major quality problems in its own products. From the development stage, the Company examines the IP rights of other companies and has clearly defined internal rules to ensure that its products do not infringe the IP rights of third parties. Measures against counterfeit products DENSO takes active measures against counterfeit products (in particular those with imitation trademarks). There are many quality problems with counterfeit products, and there is the possibility that purchasing such a product in the belief that it was manufactured by DENSO could be detrimental to the purchaser. In 2005, the Company commenced activities to detect counterfeit products in cooperation with government and customs agencies. DENSO is continuing those activities and, since more recently, has been monitoring Internet auctions and other sales channels for counterfeit products.

66 Global Intellectual Property Network Global IP system As we bolster development in our overseas technical centers, we are working to set up IP systems at our centers in North America, Europe, and China, thereby strengthening our acquisition of IP rights for local inventions and examination of other companies' IP rights. In addition, as a cooperative framework within the Group, we support patent disputes in North America through our bases in North America, and our bases in China engage in product protection by taking measures against counterfeit products and the taking out of Chinese petty patents. Problems are shared between the IP staff at each technical center and Head Office, and a global IP meeting is in place to work on plans to stimulate and develop the IP activities in each region. In place to allow discussions between IP staff from Group companies in Japan, a similar meeting works on plans to stimulate and develop the IP activities at each Group company. Meetings to support IP activities Activities Meetings held Technology development meetings: (IP strategy committee) Decision making regarding DENSO's IP strategies, involving discussions and decisions about related matters As required Business unit patent promotion meetings Follow up of progress made as regards each unit's IP activities, and steady development of these activities Twice a year Liaison meetings for full-time patent personnel Implement IP activities policies and measures regarding each technology department's patent representative Six times a year Global IP meetings DENSO Group IP Conference Discussion of issues and planning of stimulation and development of regional IP activities by Head Office and IP staff at technical centers in North America, Europe, and China Discussion of issues by IP staff (those in charge) at DENSO consolidated subsidiaries and Head Office, planning to stimulate and develop each company's IP activities Once a year Once a year
