  • 89Th Business Report
    Business Report The fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008 th The 89 fiscal year of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Translated document This report has been prepared in English solely for the convenience of foreign readers, based on the Hokokusho for Mitsui’s 89th fiscal year. The original report in Japanese is definitive. Terminology In this translated report, the terms the “Company” or “Mitsui” refer to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. From the President We are pleased to bring you the Business Report for our 89th fiscal year, which ended on March 31, 2008. For the fiscal year under review we achieved consolidated net income of ¥410.1 billion and non-consolidated net income of ¥157.9 billion, considerably higher than our results in the previous fiscal year. An interim dividend of ¥23 per share has already been paid during the year, and we propose paying a year-end dividend of a further ¥23 per share. This represents a total annual dividend of ¥46 per share, ¥12 per share higher than in the previous fiscal year. We posted earnings growth in the period under review, driven by robust economic activity in emerging countries, rising prices of mineral and metal resources and energy, which were strongly impacted by this activity, and other factors. However, we are also seeing instability in financial markets triggered by the sub-prime loan problem in the United States, a strengthening of the yen, a downturn in equity markets and economic slowdowns in the United States, Europe and Japan. While remaining constantly aware of the external environment, we intend to work to raise corporate value by continuing to harness our comprehensive business engineering capabilities and allocating our business resources in the best possible way, based on our Medium-Term Management Outlook announced in May 2006.
