Tokyu Corporation
Tokyu Corporation (hereinafter "the Company") has recently prepared a three-year medium-term management plan (for fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2017; hereinafter "the plan") beginning in fiscal 2015. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries launched its current three-year medium-term management plan in April 2012 and is working diligently on focused initiatives, such as developing railway networks including the mutual direct train link between the Toyoko Line and the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line, and developing areas served by Tokyu's railway lines such as Shibuya and Futako-Tamagawa. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, the final year of the current plan, we expect the management targets set out in the plan to be largely achieved.
In the meantime, the business environment has changed considerably. Developments such as the selection of Tokyo as host for the Olympics and Paralympics have led to the emergence of new business opportunities for the Tokyu Group, and our management plans to date have opened up prospects of financial soundness. We have, therefore, made preparations for new growth, looking ahead to 2022 when we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of our founding.
The period covered by this plan is positioned as a step to completion of large projects such as the Shibuya redevelopment, and we will implement business strategies and growth initiatives from a long-term perspective. We, therefore, decided to name the plan "STEPS TO THE NEXT STAGE."
Under this plan, we will aim to strengthen both profitability and efficiency, strengthening existing businesses and projects, actively advancing into new areas where we can use our strengths, and prioritizing investment in growth areas, while at the same time ensuring sound financial health, in readiness for the big leap forward in the future.
The overview of the three-year medium-term management plan of Tokyu Corporation is as described in the appendix.
