1. Activities for corporate investors and securities analysts

On the same day that quarterly business results are announced, the company holds explanatory sessions for corporate investors and securities analysts (we also release this information on our website). Overseas, we provide institutional investors in regions such as North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, with explanations about our business performance and other matters through investor visits, participation in overseas conferences hosted by securities firms, or online meetings.

2. Informational meeting for individual shareholders

Komatsu periodically holds shareholders’ meetings to explain the current status and future prospects of the Komatsu Group and the progress of the mid-term management plan to our shareholders. Since its inception in 1997, we have held 56 shareholder meetings, attended by about 17,000 shareholders in total. In FY2024, we held a meeting in Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture in December. Senior management provided an overview of the company’s business and engaged in communication with shareholders. We received many questions from shareholders regarding the progress and evaluation of the medium-term management plan, future global business strategies, the development status of new technologies aimed at achieving carbon neutrality, and shareholder return policies, fostering a two-way dialogue.

3. Plant tours for individual shareholders

Komatsu holds plant tours for individual shareholders and Techno Center tours for children to deepen their understanding of our business activities. In FY2024, we held plant tours for a total of 10 events at the Awazu Plant (Ishikawa Prefecture), Osaka Plant (Osaka Prefecture), Ibaraki Plant (Ibaraki Prefecture), Oyama Plant (Tochigi Prefecture), and Techno Center (Shizuoka Prefecture). Additionally, in August, we hosted an online factory tour.

4. Meetings for individual investors

Komatsu holds meetings for individual investors through securities firms to explain the current status of the Komatsu Group, its future outlook, and progress on the mid-term management plan. In FY2024, five sessions were held online.

5. President interview

Online videos featuring the President of Komatsu explaining the company’s strengths, future outlook, and key initiatives under the mid-term management plan were released three times in FY2024.

Communication with employees

Within Komatsu, the President convenes a “Meeting with the President” periodically at each business site in Japan. At these meetings, the president directly explains the business environment and related issues, and also takes part in a Q&A session held for employees. These meetings held at our headquarters in Tokyo are simultaneously streamed online over other business units in Japan and are also translated into English for sharing among the Komatsu Group employees around the world.

Communication with local communities (efforts in Japan)

To deepen the understanding of our business activities among local residents and the families of our employees, we regularly hold "Plant Fairs." In FY2024, these events were held at eight locations, attracting approximately 61,600 visitors.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were forced to cancel these events after 2020, but in FY2023, we resumed them for the community and our employees and their families, just as we did before.
