Major topics

Please tell us about the financial results and busi-ness environment for the first six months of the fis-cal year ending March 31, 2015.

For the business environment during the six months ended September 30, 2014, Japanese economy was on a gradual re-covery trend, as corporate earnings and the employment envi-ronment continued to improve backed by the effects of the economic and financial policies of the government and the Bank of Japan, despite being surrounded by some concerns such as rising prices of raw material owing to a weakening of the yen and geopolitical risks in the Middle East.

Under these circumstances, the Group’s consolidated re-sults for the six months ended September 30, 2014 were strong, as transaction volume of new contracts increased 5.3% to 632.5 billion yen from the same period of the previous consolidated fiscal year, and a balance of operating assets in-cluding business guarantees increased 1.3% to 2,679.9 billion yen from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. In terms of profits and losses, total revenues increased 21.9% to

438.5 billion yen from the same period of the previous consoli-dated fiscal year, operating income increased 22.8% to 28.9 billion yen from the same period of the previous consolidated fiscal year, and ordinary income increased 12.6% to 29.9 billion yen from the same period of the previous consolidated fiscal year. Although net income decreased 5.8% to 16.6 billion yen from the same period of the previous consolidated fiscal year, progress towards the forecast of consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 was favorable at each profit level.

Please tell us about the major initiatives for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

Various measures were implemented under the second medi-um-term management plan centered on the basic policy “to become a comprehensive financial services enterprise and re-alize further innovative changes as well as sustainable growth.”

Kyocera TCL Solar LLC, which was established jointly with KYOCERA CORPORATION in order to engage in the solar power generation business, commenced its initiatives toward the floating mega solar power plant business together with Ciel et Terre International (France), which holds a patent for floating solar platforms.

In addition, in the East Asia and ASEAN region, we re-solved to make equity investments in a leasing company to be newly established by a Chinese government-affiliated compa-ny, Suzhou New District Hi-Tech Industrial Co., Ltd., and to make the said company an equity-method affiliate. Further-more, we acquired 49% of the number of shares issued by BPI Leasing Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (hereinafter “BPI”) which is a major bank in the Philippines, and agreed to conduct joint busi-ness with BPI. The Group will integrate BPI’s network in the

Philippines and our product competitiveness in facility leasing, etc., to expand our business base in the Philippine market, which continues to enjoy high levels of growth with a GDP growth rate of 7.2%.

Furthermore, in October, we resolved to establish joint ven-ture companies to engage together in the aircraft leasing busi-ness with the CIT Group Inc. (U.S.), which has the sixth highest number of aircrafts for lease in the world. As plans for these joint venture companies include investments of approxi-mately 200 billion yen over the next two years, the Group’s aircraft-related business can be expected to increase dramati-cally in the balance of operating assets.

Please tell us about the forecast of consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

Looking at consolidated results forecast for the fiscal year end-ing March 31, 2015, steady progress has been made towards achieving the plan, in which total revenues are projected to in-crease 3.8% year on year to 860.0 billion yen, operating in-come is forecasted to grow 9.5% year on year to 56.3 billion yen, ordinary income to be up 3.3% year on year to 57.0 billion yen, and net income to rise 0.8% to 33.3 billion yen year on year. As a result, the Group has revised the dividend plan to in-crease the interim dividend by 4 yen to 32 yen per share and the full year-end dividend forecast by 4 yen to 32 yen per share, resulting in an increase in annual dividends by 12 yen per share year on year to 64 yen per share.

In order to achieve further profit expansion and sustained growth, we will work to achieve balanced improvement in the three indices of ROE (return of net income to equity), ROA (re-turn of ordinary income to total assets), and EPS (earnings per share) and will meet the expectations of our shareholders and all our stakeholders.

Why Ireland?Ireland, the birthplace of aircraft leasing, is driving the world as a leading country in the aircraft business due to the avail-ability of taxation systems, etc. that facilitate the develop-ment of aircraft businesses by foreign companies as well as the relative ease of securing human resources with special-ized knowledge.

In addition, the time difference between Ireland and Asia/North America is also suitable for business. Ireland is truly a perfect base for the aircraft business.

TC-Lease’s aircraft businessStarting off with aircraft leasing business for Jetstar Japan Co., Ltd., in which we carried out capital participation in 2012, we have since invested in GA Telesis, LLC, a leading distributor of aircraft components in the U.S., and devel-oped the periphery businesses of engines and parts.

We are steadily expanding this business, as can be seen in the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary, TC Avia-tion Capital Ireland Limited, in Ireland in 2013 and the deci-sion to open two new business bases through a joint venture with the CIT Group Inc. in 2014.

Irish coffee originated from Shannon Airport in County Clare in the west of Ireland. Back in 1943, passengers were shivering with cold due to short duration of flights in those days forcing frequent stops for refuel, and air-crafts not being fully airtight.

Flying CoffeeJoe (Joseph) Sheridan, the owner of an Irish pub locat-

ed in Shannon Airport, created a hot drink to warm up passengers waiting for their flights. This hot drink be-came the well-known “Irish coffee”.

The Diversity of TC-Lease

5 6

The “Japan Revitalization Strategy” has been released as the “three arrows” of the growth strategy under the Abe administration’s second Cabinet. The “diversity of human resources,” including the promotion of women and the active employment of non-Japanese personnel with high capabilities, has been promoted as part of the course for the steady implementa-tion of this strategy. We took this opportunity to talk with Foo Siang Seng, Managing Director of TC-Lease’s Singapore local subsidiary, who was the first international employee of TC-Lease, and with young employees who are following the path of senior employees.

Why did you want to, and why did you join a Japanese leasing company?It took the same level of courage to decide to enter TC-Lease as it did when I decided to choose a different path to study in Japan when most of my high school classmates went to study abroad in Taiwan and the U.S. over 30 years ago. I spent four years studying at a Japanese uni-versity, and during this period I was very stimulated by a wide variety of fresh and vast amount of knowledge and information. Although people around me recommended that I enter a compa-ny such as a trading company in order to take advantage of my language skills before I graduat-ed from university, I decided to enter TC-Lease because leasing business at that time was a truly innovative financing method for companies and I believed that utilizing leasing as a financ-ing method could greatly enhance emerging countries, such as my home country Malaysia, to join developed countries more rapidly.

Could you share with us any aspect of your work that especially left an impres-sion on you or that you felt really rewarding?Over the past few years, the operating assets and earnings of the Singapore base have become the highest among the TC-Lease Group’s overseas local subsidiaries. It is also top-class among competing Japanese companies in Singapore, and this is a splendid culmination that would not have been possible to achieve without the daily hard work and cooperation of the National Staffs. Looking back, about 20 years ago, there were times when the existence itself of the cur-rent Singapore base was questioned. However, despite this challenge, we have been able to build up the current sound and highly profitable structure thanks to the thorough business transformation that was implemented by the entire National Staff thereafter. The reason we succeeded in this conversion was always being able to provide a variety of solutions in re-sponse to changes in customers and markets day by day, which is most important.

What is your opinion about the need for global employment and the application of human resources at the TC-Lease Group?As I mentioned earlier, in order to make the operation of over-seas local subsidiaries successful, it is extremely important not only to provide daily services to Japanese companies, but also to go one step further and maintain a close business relation-ship with local companies. I believe that we can further exploit our potential through the success of international employees who serve as a bridge between local companies. I am really looking forward to the successful future of international employ-ees at the TC-Lease Group.

In recent years, many Japanese companies are entering markets in China and other Asian countries. In order to achieve further sustained growth in our business under a rapidly and ev-er-changing business environment, we require personnel who can come up with flexible ideas from global perspectives that are not affected by typical ways of thinking. For this reason, we are hiring international students. There may be some aspects of the work that can be confusing for them, such as gaining an un-derstanding of the unique culture and business practices of Jap-anese companies and establishing positive human relationships with customers and colleagues. Therefore, we have adopted a system in which a senior employee will supervise these employ-ees one-on-one for one year after they join the Company. In ad-dition, all senior employees in the divisions these employees are assigned to are aware that they also serve as supervisors, and we foster a corporate culture in which we try to develop human resources as an entire company. We hope that these internation-al students, as members of the Company, will become the origi-nators themselves to generate new values and play a role in leading the organization both in Japan and overseas in the future.

We will take up “Promot-ing the female workforce” as part 2 of the special fea-ture on the Diversity of TC-Lease in the 46th Business Report.

What is your impression of TC-Lease?Although I joined a U.S. competitor immedi-ately after I graduated from university, I soon noticed that I was not able to utilize my strengths in languages, etc., and spent most of my days on domestic sales. Looking for a more international sphere of activity, I took the opportunity to transfer to the Company two years ago. Looking back, my preconcep-tions towards Japanese companies changed drastically when I felt that the Company val-ued personality during the hiring process, and I still have pleasant surprises day by day in this respect. During these times especially when Japanese companies are performing actively on a global level, I am convinced that it is the strength of the Company that it of-fers opportunities to employees who are motivated to grow further into the future, re-gardless of nationality or gender.

What is rewarding about the work you are currently involved in?I am currently working for overseas local sub-sidiaries of the Company where I am involved in composition and promotion of financing transactions called “global vendor transac-tions” to be provided for end-users in coop-eration with vendors of Europe and North America (global vendors). I feel that every day is rewarding because my work constantly re-quires high expertise and creativity to support the diverse needs of customers around the world, and it provides me the opportunity to be successful on a global scale, and further-more, I get to experience the high growth potential of TC-Lease deriving from the high level of flexibility and opportunities provided by the leasing business.

A talk with young international employees!

How do you feel day by day about learning your work through OJT, and what are your goals for the future?I belong to the Corporate Department and I am currently learning the leasing business for corporate customers through OJT under a senior employee. In many cases the custom-ers in my current division will not be satisfied with common kinds of leasing, so we have to come up with a proposal which is most ben-eficial for our customers. It is interesting to plan proposals for customers that are global companies, and I feel a great sense of ac-complishment when we are able to over-come the challenges. Although every day is a learning experience because I am still in my first year, I hope that someday I will able to work on the forefront and make proposals that only I and the Company are capable of offering.

Consolidated Financial Information

After giving overall consideration on factors including our basic policy on distribution of profits and the future business environ-ment, we have decided to increase the interim dividend from surplus by 4 yen per share to 32 yen from the previously an-nounced forecast, in order to respond to the continuing support of our shareholders. The full year-end dividend forecast will also be increased by 4 yen per share to 32 yen and the annual divi-dends are revised from 56 yen per share to 64 yen, an increase of 8 yen. This will result in a dividend increase of 12 yen per share year on year on a full-year basis.

Guidance on the share-holder special benefit plan

As a general rule, Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation distributes divi-

corporate value while endeavoring to strengthen its capital, and work

for further returns of profits to its shareholders.

To express our gratitude toward shareholders for their support, we are offer-ing original "QUO Cards" to shareholders under the shareholder special benefit plan (time of offering: the cards are delivered after the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held in June each year). In addition, the content of shareholder special benefit plan is set to be more appealing to those who intend to hold the shares over the medium- to long-term period.
