In fiscal 2010, the Nippon Express Group launched the“Nippon Express Group Corporate Strategy 2012 – TowardsNew Growth,” a three-year medium-term management planunderpinned by the basic strategy, “Growth as a GlobalLogistics Company.” Unfortunately, we were impacted bynumerous external factors in fiscal 2011, including the GreatEast Japan Earthquake, flooding in Thailand and the Europeandebt crisis. Nevertheless, Nippon Express was able toaggressively penetrate key regions while strengthening salessystems able to provide comprehensive logistics proposalsand one-stop services. Moreover, thanks to our steady marketdevelopment efforts, we were able to gain a foothold in newbusiness fields and reached the next growth stage.In fiscal 2012, the final year of the current medium-termmanagement plan, we will shift Nippon Express towards atruly global business model that eliminates all barriersbetween our domestic and overseas business bases, salessystems, products and services.Caution Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis annual report contains information about forward-lookingstatements related to such matters as the Company’s plans,strategies and business results.

An Interview with the President4 NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 2012

Meeting stakeholder expectationsas we leap forward into the nextgrowth phaseWe will accelerate the pace of global business expansion and implement our medium-termmanagement plan while steadily engaging in business activities that will realizeour long-term vision.Q1June 2012 marked your first anniversary aspresident of Nippon Express Co., Ltd. Whatare your impressions of the past year?Fiscal 2011 was characterized by major changes inthe external environment. These included severedsupply chains in the aftermath of the Great East JapanEarthquake (which struck in March 2011) and massiveflooding in Thailand as well as the European debtcrisis and other factors that negatively impacted theglobal economy. Under these circumstances, theNippon Express Group steadily worked to make theleap forward toward becoming a truly global logisticscompany. To this end, we continued to pursue newgrowth under our “Nippon Express Group CorporateStrategy 2012 – Towards New Growth” medium-termmanagement plan. Given the pressing need for quickdecision making amid a rapidly changing operatingenvironment, fiscal 2011 went by very fast.My first year as president began with visitingnumerous business bases located in Nippon Express’s10 domestic regions and the four overseas regions.By taking the time to meet numerous stakeholdersface to face, I have gained a greater understanding ofthe high expectations they have of the Group as itworks to achieve global growth. Meeting stakeholdershas also given me a renewed awareness of mymission to help grow the Nippon Express Group intoan even stronger business.Q2Please tell us more about your assessment ofthe external factors impacting NipponExpress during fiscal 2011.Domestic markets gradually picked up in line withpost-disaster recovery efforts. However, overalleconomic conditions in Japan were unstable with theprospect of full recovery remaining elusive. This wasdue to major fluctuations in currency exchange ratesNIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 20125

An Interview with the Presidentand a global fiscal slowdown caused by the Europeandebt crisis. Domestic freight handling volume in fiscal2011 fell for the 12th consecutive year* mainlybecause of the Great East Japan Earthquake andstagnant consumer spending. Overseas, althoughtransport-related demand in China and imports/exports in the Americas and Europe have been steady,unfavorable currency exchange rates have crampednet sales figures.*Source: Nittsu Research Institute and Consulting, Inc., 2012 Fiscal YearEconomic and Freight Transport Outlook (June 2012)Q3What is your assessment of Nippon Express’sperformance in fiscal 2011?Consolidated revenues in fiscal 2011 rose only slightly to¥1,628.0 billion, up 0.7% compared with the previousfiscal year. This lackluster result was attributable tostagnation in domestic corporate logistics overall andthe lesser impact of increases in real overseas netsales due to effect of unfavorable exchange rates onamounts reported in local currencies. The impact ofcurrency exchange rates on net sales totaledapproximately ¥12.9 billion.Turning to earnings, operating income increased18.6% year on year to ¥37.4 billion, reflecting higherearnings driven by strong performances in the Marine &Harbor Transportation segment in the first half of fiscal2011, Air Freight Forwarding & Travel segment in thesecond half and Heavy Haulage & Construction segmentduring the entire fiscal year. Net income surged 215.5%to ¥26.9 billion. This result reflected a gain on sales ofnoncurrent assets in fiscal 2011 as well as decreases inloss on valuation of investment securities; loss onadjustment for changes of accounting standard for assetretirement obligations; and loss on disaster due todamage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Allof these losses were recorded under extraordinary loss inthe previous fiscal year.Q4Please describe Nippon Express’ efforts infiscal 2011 to realize “Growth as a GlobalLogistics Company,” the first basic strategyof the Nippon Express Group CorporateStrategy 2012.We are aiming to grow the proportion of sales fromoverseas-related businesses to 33% in fiscal 2012. Infiscal 2011, the proportion of sales from overseasrelatedbusinesses dipped 0.1 of a percentage pointcompared with the previous fiscal year to 30.8%. Thisdecrease was primarily caused by sluggishness in airfreight forwarding as well as in marine and harbortransportation originating from Japan over the courseof the year, reflecting weak domestic economicconditions. Along with this, overseas net sales showeda decline due to unfavorable exchange rates. In realterms, the proportion of sales from overseas-relatedbusinesses was 31.3% based on calculations thateliminate the negative effect of exchange rates.To enhance overseas-related businesses, theGroup is improving multi-functional logisticalcomplexes at its business bases located outside ofJapan while constructing a new distribution andtransportation network. In addition, we are invigoratingour business and capital partnerships with localcompanies. In fiscal 2011, we continued to strengthenour business foundations in Asia through such actionsas opening multifunctional warehouses and6 NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 2012

In fiscal2011, Associated Global Systems, Inc. (AGS) becamea wholly owned subsidiary of Nippon Express U.S.A.,Inc. AGS, a mid-sized logistics company based in theUnited States, is engaged in domestic transport andboasts a solid reputation for the specialized transportof precision instruments and oversized cargo. Thesecapabilities have allowed AGS to build a largecustomer base in the United States. Combining thestrengths of Nippon Express in international transportwith the solid logistics operations of AGS in the UnitedStates has enabled the Group to expand in a singlestroke the scope of the services it provides tocustomers of both companies.vehicles as of March 31, 2012, exceeding Groupwideprojections. Moreover, the Nippon Express Group hassignificantly reduced power use in Japan thanks to itsenergy conservation measures.Q5Please tell us more about the medium-termmanagement plan’s second basic strategy:Promotion of Strategic EnvironmentalManagementQ6Moving forward, please describe NipponExpress’ initiatives regarding the mediumtermmanagement plan’s third basic strategy:Enhancement of Management InfrastructureThe Nippon Express Group is steadily promotinginitiatives to reduce environmental impact byemphasizing the development and provision ofenvironmentally friendly logistics products and servicesthat utilize low-environmental load rail and shiptransport. In addition, the Group conducts greeninitiatives aimed at achieving a recycling society,including the promotion of ecodriving; saving energyat business bases, and conducting CO 2 reductionprojects through its overseas network. Owing to ourproactive efforts, we owned 5,638 eco-friendlyThe Group’s very first overseas subsidiary wasestablished in the United States 50 years ago. Sincethen, we have established locally based subsidiaries invarious regions worldwide. As part of efforts tointegrate management operations while ensuring itsability to accurately respond to economic conditions,legal systems and needs that differ from region toregion, the Group appoints officers as regional generalmanagers to oversee operations in the Americas,Europe, East Asia, and South Asia & Oceania. Theappointment of these regional general managers hasNIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 20127

Owing to these functions, NEChina will play a central role in assisting the Group’svarious initiatives in that country.Q7What are your performance forecasts forfiscal 2012?also improved the speed of management decisions.In September 2011, we established a Germanybasedregional headquarters company to overseeoperations in Europe. We also set up a regionalheadquarters company in Singapore in April 2012 tohandle businesses in South Asia & Oceania. Placinglocal subsidiaries in Europe and South Asia & Oceaniaunder the control of these respective regionalheadquarters companies enables the Group toexecute regional growth strategies that are optimal foran entire area rather than being suited only toindividual subsidiaries.Nippon Express relocated the regional generaloffice for East Asia from Hong Kong to Shanghai in May2011, reflecting Shanghai’s emergence as the region’seconomic focal point. In addition, Nippon Express(China) Co., Ltd. (NE China) was recently certified bythe Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce as a“regional headquarters company” for a multinationalcorporation doing business in China’s highly regulatedmarket. Operating NE China as a regionalheadquarters company enables us to legally providebusiness and fund management, financial control andother related services for local Group subsidiariesDespite expectations of a recovery in domestic freighttransportation in the first half of fiscal 2012 (demandfor which had been sluggish following the previousyear’s disaster), performance is now forecast to remainweak. Consequently, we are working to boostproductivity while decreasing costs, as a majorincrease in net sales is not expected in fiscal 2012.Regarding international freight transportation, weforecast higher demand for equipment transportation,particularly marine and harbor transportation, due toaccelerating overseas expansion and the transfer ofproduction abroad by Japanese companies, which areplagued by energy- and currency exchange-relatedproblems. In air freight forwarding, although the exportvolume is expected to decline, we are working tosecure earnings by improving the efficiency ofoperational management and controlling forwardingrelatedcosts.Overseas, there are indications that freightforwarding and domestic logistics operations in theAmericas and South Asia will remain strong. Incontrast, amid signs that the European economy willslow even further, economic conditions are expectedto weaken in East Asia, particularly China, whichexports goods to Europe. Keeping a close eye onthese trends, we will implement effective measures asneeded in Europe and East Asia.8 NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 2012

Based on the aforementioned factors, on May 8,2012, Nippon Express announced the followingforecasts for fiscal 2012: consolidated revenues of¥1,650.0 billion, up 1.3% year on year; operatingincome of ¥42.0 billion, up 12.0%; and net income of¥30.0 billion, up 11.3%.Q8Please describe Nippon Express’s long-termvision in terms of “Growth as a GlobalLogistics Company.”If we did not have a long-term vision, we would beunable to achieve “Growth as a Global LogisticsCompany,” one of the basic strategies of the currentmedium-term management plan. Setting thelong-term target of increasing the proportion of salesfrom overseas-related businesses to 50%, we willcontinue to expand strategic businesses to reach thismajor goal.Currently, international freight transportation is notthe only business area in which customers worldwideexpect the Group to expand. We are also expandinginto business fields involving logistics operations thatplay a role in maintaining supply chains connectinglocal production areas; high-value-added warehousefunctions that oversee the transport of goods tovarious markets; and logistics in local regions and thirdcountries. The Group will also aggressively engage incapital alliances with leading companies and M&A,which are indispensable to the rapid upgrading ofsystems to meet demand for services in terms ofquality, price and speed. In addition to China and therest of East Asia, we continue to rapidly build abusiness foundation focusing on South Asia, a regionthat encompasses such countries as India,Bangladesh and Myanmar.Q9In closing, do you have any messages youwould like to convey to shareholders andinvestors?I was particularly struck by how well employeescarried out their duties during our efforts to assist inthe reconstruction of areas damaged by the GreatEast Japan Earthquake. The superior quality of NipponExpress’ personnel is the underlying strength of theGroup. With this in mind, we will meet the highexpectations of our stakeholders by working togetherto further enhance corporate value.We gratefully look forward to the continuingsupport of our shareholders and investors.Interview June 2012Kenji WatanabePresident, Chief Executive OfficerNIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 20129

Corporate Governance• Our Thought on Corporate GovernanceNippon Express’ fundamental thinking related with corporategovernance is “the realization of speedy management throughquick decision making” and “the establishment of a cleardivision of responsibility.” Specifically, since June 2001 thenumber of the board members was reduced from 25members or less to 15 members or less. Furthermore, theterm was shortened from two years to one year. All thisresulted in revitalizing the board and speeded up decisionmaking. Attempts were made to clarify each directors’management responsibilities for each business year.At the same time, the Company has introduced a boardof executive officers with the goal of ensuring rapid executionof business operations. As of June 28, 2012, we have 14directors and 28 executive officers (13 of those concurrentlyserve as directors). In addition, our auditors attend boardmeetings and other important conferences, review keydocuments, visit our main facilities for audits, perform reviewsat subsidiaries, and report all results at meetings of the boardof auditors and the board of directors. The board of auditorsfunctions as a supervisory institution that operates from anobjective point of view. As of June 28, 2012, we have fourauditors (three of those are outside auditors).• Creating a Internal Control SystemIn order to conduct business fairly and efficiently, it isimportant to implement firm internal control systems. NipponExpress has created effective control systems, including acompliance system, a risk management system, an internalaudit system and a system to assure fair business operationsin all Group companies. In addition, with the enactment of theCorporate Law in May 2006, Nippon Express adopted andinstituted the Basic Policy Relating to the Establishment of anInternal Control System at a board of directors meeting.In accordance with a partial revision of the SecuritiesListing Regulations at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the BasicPolicy for the Exclusion of Antisocial Forces was adopted andinstituted at the Board of Directors meeting in April 2008,providing a response to the need for a regulation to preventthe intervention of antisocial forces in our corporate activities.• Creating a Crisis Management SystemNipon Express has constructed our crisis management systemunder “the Crisis Management Codes” consisting of 4 codes;“the Disaster Management Code”, “the Overseas CrisisManagement Code”, “the System Risk management Code” and“the New Influenza Management Code.” We set the steps to betaken against widespread disasters, new types of influenza,information system risks, and terrorism-related risks.As a designated public institution under the DisasterMeasures Basic Law and the Civil Protection Act (the Actconcerning the Measures for Protection of the People in ArmedAttack Situations), Nippon Express transported emergencymaterials upon requests of the national and prefecturalgovernments in large-scale disasters such as the Hanshin-AwajiCorporate Governance Organization ChartGeneral Shareholders’ MeetingAppointment and RemovalAppointment and RemovalAppointment and RemovalAccounting AuditorFindingsReportBoard of AuditorsAuditBoard of DirectorsAudit of AccountsReportPresidentAppointmentSupervisionReportCorporate AttorneyCompliance CommitteeBoard of Executive OfficersCrisis Management CommitteeAudit DivisionAuditPerform OperationsAuditEnforcement Division(Headquarters divisions, Headquarters departments,regional administration (domestic/overseas),each business division, each branch office, each group company)10NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 2012

Earthquake and the Niigata Prefecture Chuetsu-oki Earthquake.Also at the Great East Japan Earthquake which caused theunprecedented damage to the country, we fulfilled a role as adesignated public institution by working on to assist the affectedareas for rehabilitation and reconstruction. For instance, wetransported various emergency materials from day one when theearthquake struck.Concerning natural disasters, the Nippon Express GroupDisaster Measures Regulations were adopted in October 2001,through which we are strengthening our cooperative effort withinthe Group. Our Reporting Procedures for Disasters establishescriteria for determining whether a report is required when adisaster occurs (for example, in the case of an earthquakeregistering four or above on the Japanese seismic scale). Utilizingthe Disaster Management System established on our intranet,these reporting procedures provide an early-warning reportingsystem between all branches and headquarters regarding thestate of disasters, as well as a system for sharing informationbetween branches.Furthermore, as well as we have prepared stockpiles foremergencies including food and drinking water, we havebrought in satellite phones and mobile phones with priorityaccess in a time of disaster to enable us to respond to powerfailures or disruptions in mobile phones or other telephonenetworks. We installed them in related divisions at the headoffice and major branches across the country.Finally, as a counter-measure against influenza, we havestocked hygienic items, such as masks, gloves and goggles.In response to the new strain of influenza that emerged inApril 2009, we provided staff with masks and took measuresto force infected staff or staff whose family had been infectedto stay home from work.• Business Continuity (BCP)In addition to the risk posed by the occurrence of naturaldisasters such as large earthquakes and typhoons, we arealso now facing a threat like the spread of new influenza.Even under emergency situations, it is now a company’sresponsibility to take necessary measures and make plans forboth preparation and action in advance so that we are able tocontinue or recover quickly to fulfil our primary obligations asa transportation company. Nippon Express is appointed as adesignated public institution under the Disaster MeasuresBasic Law and the Civil Protection Act, and in order for us tofulfil its responsibility; we are required to continue ouroperations by society.Under these circumstances, the request asking us to workon “the comprehensive and systematic initiatives” as a companyis increasing which enable us to continue our businessoperations not only in times of emergency but also in otherchallenging situations. In response, we developed BCM(Business Continuity Management) as well as a BCP (BusinessContinuity Plan) specifically for Nippon Express in 2009.As well as each company of the Nippon Express Groupplaces the health and lives of employees and their families firstwhen responding to states of emergencies caused by naturaldisasters, industrial disasters and man-made disasters, we alsotry to continue our business operations as much as possible inorder for us to be able to fulfil our social responsibility sought asa designated public institution and a maintainer of socialfunctions under the Disaster Measures Basic Law and the CivilProtection Act. At the Great East Japan Earthquake, we tried tocontinue our business operations, starting with the transport ofemergency relief materials, by invoking a BCP (BusinessContinuity Plan) swiftly.• Compliance Management Promotion SystemStressing the importance of compliance management,Nippon Express established the Compliance Division in June2003. Also, in October of the same year, ComplianceRegulations were created, and, along with the establishmentof a Compliance Committee chaired by the companypresident and an internal whistle-blower system (NittsuSpeak-up), several measures were undertaken to encouragehonest and fair company activities.From 2010, we set every November as a “ComplianceMonth” and undertake a comprehensive review of legalcompliance and employee education across the country.Also we tried to enhance the awareness on complianceby lending DVD or distributing leaflets for education to preventpower harassment to group companies in Japan andoverseas. Furthermore, we distributed a “compliance card” toall employees and encourage them to conduct “self-checkingon compliance” on a daily basis.• Personal Data Protection and Management SystemAlong with the establishment of the Personal Data ProtectionDivision in February 2005, Nippon Express also establishedthe Personal Data Protection Policy and Personal DataProtection Code—exemplifying Nippon Express’scommitment to personal data protection management.Ongoing education utilizing DVDs and e-learning is offered toall employees in an attempt to make information aboutpersonal data protection better known within the company.The Nippon Express Group has also received variouscertifications related to the protection of personal data.NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 201211

The original NipponExpress Charter of Conduct, applicable only to NipponExpress Co., was revised as the Nippon Express GroupCharter of Conduct, and now embraces all Group affiliates inJapan and overseas.While clearly stipulating respect for human rights,interactive communication with myriad stakeholders, therespect for employee diversity essential to businessglobalisation and other initiatives, the Nippon Express GroupCharter of Conduct also promotes conduct exceeding CSRrequirements throughout the supply chain in a manner theGroup is well positioned to implement.* Refer to the Nippon Express Homepage to view the Nippon ExpressGroup Charter of Conduct.http://www.nipponexpress.com/about/corporate/charter/index.html• Environmental InitiativesAs a professional logistics group, we will contribute to societyby delivering goods to people around the world, while strivingto achieve more energy-efficient “Earth-friendly logistics.”Continuous assistance for rehabilitationand reconstructionAs progress was made in rehabilitation and reconstructionin the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, thenature of activities offered by our company also changedfrom emergency evacuation assistance to continuous lifesupport assistance.In March 2011, we provided transportation for thecollective relocation of residents from Futabamachi,Fukushima Prefecture who had taken refuge at theSaitama Super Arena. In April, we drained water withpump vehicles in the coastal areas where floodgates hadbeen destroyed. Later, we were also engaged in removingfloating cranes stranded at Miyako Port in IwatePrefecture, transporting power plant equipment lent fromthe government of Thailand, and transportingmanufacturing equipment to and from factories affected.From December 2011, responding to requests from localgovernments in the affected area, we transported about2,300 tons of rubble (disaster waste) to disposing facilities inareas willing to receive the rubble. (as of March 2012)Employees from various regions were dispatched tosupport operations at affected Nippon Express offices.Voluntary activities by employees have been increasinglywidespread, such as “Tohoku Reconstruction SupportVolunteer Activities” launched by employees and theirfamily members in the Kanto area.NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 201213

Special Feature: Further Growth in AsiaExtending Nippon Express’s Asian Network to IndiaThe Nippon Express Group has established “Growth as a Global Logistics Company” as a basic strategy of the “Nippon Express GroupCorporate Strategy 2012 –Towards New Growth,” medium-term management plan. The Group maintains global coverage through fiveregions, namely, Japan, the Americas, Europe, East Asia and South Asia & Oceania. Accordingly, we are working to broaden internationaltransportation networks; making rapid management judgments in response to intra-regional market trends; and promoting thedevelopment of a sales structure that integrates regions. Among these, we began operations in Hong Kong in the 1970s to penetratemarkets in East Asia. Since then, Nippon Express has actively engaged in partnerships with local companies, built a distribution networkthat extends throughout the region and, more recently, enhanced services featuring multiple transportation modes. Building on theseefforts, we are establishing large-scale warehouses, opening new business bases and other initiatives to strengthen our businessfoundations and, in turn, secure distribution and transportation networks extending beyond India, the next key region.Nippon Express’s expansion in AsiaChinaKoreaJapanIndiaBangladeshMyanmarLaosThailandSS7000The PhilippinesShanghai SuperExpress (SSE)SS7000Shanghai–Huanan approx. 2,000 kmSS7000Huanan–Hanoi approx. 1,500 kmMekong-IndiaExpressSS7000Bangkok–Singaporeapprox. 2,000 kmSS7000Hanoi–Bangkok approx. 1,500 kmSouthern Mekong Land Bridge Expressapprox. 850kmMajor business basesNippon Express’s Expansion in South AsiaDecemberDecemberFebruaryNovemberCommences a fully in-house consolidated door-to-door transportservice to India bound from Tokyo, Nagoya, Kobe, Shanghai, HongKong, Bangkok, the United States and Europe to IndiaOpens an NE India office inBangalore Airport to provide highquality,high-speed, one-stopNippon Express servicesLaunches Mekong-India Expressintermodal transport servicebetween Thailand and IndiaCompletes construction ofNeemrama Logistics Center, amultifunctional logisticswarehouse200720092010AugustEstablishes a representativeoffice in DhakaOctoberStrengthens intermodal transport serviceoriginating from Bangladesh, upgrading internallogistics as well as ocean freight forwarding14NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 2012

Management Discussion and AnalysisPerformance OverviewDuring the consolidated fiscal year under review, despite a temporarydrop in corporate production and exports due to the effect of theGreat East Japan Earthquake that struck in March of last year, theJapanese economy experienced a moderate turnaround as supplychains were restored after the disaster. Nevertheless, the situationremained extremely unstable due to the effect of factors such as therapidly rising yen, as well as the slowdown in overseas economiesresulting from the European debt crisis.In the field of logistics, against the backdrop of these economicconditions, the overall situation was challenging, due to a partialdecrease in export freight, which had been performing well, and apersisting tendency toward decline in demand for domestic freighttransportation.In this business environment, the Nippon Express Group madecollective efforts to accomplish the medium-term management plan“Nippon Express Group Corporate Strategy 2012 – Towards NewGrowth,” by achieving the four basic strategies of “Growth as a GlobalLogistics Company,” “Promotion of Strategic EnvironmentalManagement,” “Enhancement of Management Infrastructure,” and“Promotion of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Management.”Specifically, to ensure its “Growth as a Global Logistics Company,” theGroup is enhancing multi-functional logistics facilities at its overseasbases and building a new distribution and transportation network inorder to develop its overseas-related businesses, while pressingahead with business collaboration and capital tie-ups with localcompanies, as well as strengthening the overseas network, with theaim of ensuring the Group’s ability to swiftly and flexibly respond to theincreasingly diverse and sophisticated global business needs of ourcustomers.With regard to the “Promotion of Strategic EnvironmentalManagement,” the Group has steadily engaged in efforts to reduce itsenvironmental burden by working proactively to develop and provideenvironmentally friendly products and services using greener modesof transportation such as rail and sea, while promoting initiatives suchas eco-driving and increased energy-efficiency at business bases, andtaking advantage of our overseas network to develop projects to cutCO2 emissions, in order to create a recycling-oriented society.Toward the “Enhancement of Management Infrastructure” and“Promotion of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Management,”we worked to build a stronger crisis management system by revisingthe Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in an effort to reinforcegovernance, while also striving to beef up our corporate competitivepower by further enhancing the capital investment that is thefoundation of growth, and stepping up training and education forhuman resources. Furthermore, we were proactively engaged in thepromotion of CSR activities such as social contribution activitiescentered on the environment, and the thorough implementation ofcompliance measures.Business Results• Revenues and Operating CostsAs a result of the above, consolidated revenues increased ¥10.8billion, or 0.7%, compared with the previous fiscal year, to ¥1,628.0billion.Financial results by segment are as follows:In Distribution & Transportation, domestic companies, CombinedBusiness revenues fell ¥12.7 billion, or 1.8%, while those of SecurityTransportation shrank ¥0.7 billion, or 1.3%. The declines wereprimarily attributable to a fall in demand for freight transportation andthe impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake. In contrast, HeavyHaulage & Construction rose ¥5.6 billion, or 16.6%, thanks to higherconstruction demand in Japan and overseas, while Air FreightForwarding & Travel recorded a ¥1.9 billion, or 1.0%, increase andMarine & Harbor Transportation was up ¥1.4 billion, or 1.2%, owinglargely to the recovery of the world economy and an increase in exportand import cargoes.In Distribution & Transportation, overseas companies, revenuesrose ¥0.1 billion, or 0.4%, in the Americas, ¥1.3 billion, or 3.1%, inRevenues(Millions of yen)2,000,000Operating income(Millions of yen)60,000Net income(Millions of yen)40,0001,500,00050,00040,00030,0001,000,00030,00020,000500,00020,00010,00010,000008/3 09/3 10/3 11/3 12/3008/3 09/3 10/3 11/3 12/3008/3 09/3 10/3 11/3 12/320 NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 2012

Europe. However, revenues fell ¥3.9 billion, or 5.2%, in East Asia and¥0.7 billion, or 1.7%, in South Asia & Oceania due mainly to theimpact of currency exchange rate fluctuations.In the Goods Sales segment, revenues improved ¥21.5 billion,or 6.1%, largely because of an upswing in the unit selling price forpetroleum. In the Other business segment, revenues grew ¥4.3 billion,or 12.2%.Operating costs came to ¥1,519.3 billion, an increase of ¥8.7billion, or 0.6%, from the previous fiscal year.

The main reason forthe increase in extraordinary income was the recording of a gain onsales of noncurrent assets, which rose ¥2.3 billion. The primaryreasons for the fall in extraordinary loss was the recording of a loss onadjustment for changes of accounting standard for asset retirementobligations of ¥7.5 billion in fiscal 2010 and a ¥4.5 billion year-on-yeardecrease in loss on disaster due to damage caused by the Great EastJapan Earthquake.Income before income taxes and minority interests amounted to¥49.4 billion.

Financial instruments2011 (From April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011)(1) Financial instruments and related disclosures1) Group policy for financial instrumentsThe Group raises necessary funds for capital investments mainly by bank loans and issuance of bonds. Short-term working funds areraised mainly by bank loans. Derivatives are used only for hedging purposes to manage the exposure of assets and liabilities to risks ofmarket fluctuation. Mainly forward foreign currency contracts are utilized to hedge foreign exchange risk on receivables and payablesdenominated in foreign currencies as described below. The Group does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.2) Nature and risk of financial instruments and risk management systemTrade receivables such as trade notes and trade accounts are exposed to customer credit risk. The Group manages its customercredit risk by managing payment terms and balances by monitoring periodically the financial positions of customers in accordancewith internal guidelines. Although foreign currency trade receivables are exposed to foreign currency fluctuation risk, they are partiallyhedged by forward foreign currency contracts. Investment securities mainly consisting of equity shares of customers or suppliersowned for business or capital alliance purposes are exposed to the risk of market price fluctuations and their holding status iscontinuously reviewed by monitoring the market value and financial position of the issuers on a regular basis and consideringrelationships with the counterparties.The payment terms of trade payables are almost all less than one year. Although some are denominated in foreign currencies andexposed to foreign currency fluctuation risk, they are partially hedged using forward foreign currency contracts. Short-term loanspayable are mainly used for operations and the main objective of long-term loans and bonds is to raise necessary funds for capitalinvestments. Maturities of bonds are within eight years after the balance sheet date and interest expenses of long-term loans arefixed by the fixed interest rate.Derivatives mainly include forward foreign currency contracts, which are used to hedge foreign exchange risk on trade receivables andpayables denominated in foreign currencies. The effectiveness of hedging is assessed using internal effectiveness management data.Derivative transactions are overseen by the Management Department based on the application form submitted by each tradingsection, and the Internal Audit Department periodically examines the execution and controls on the derivative transactions. In usingderivatives, the Group only enters into the contracts with highly rated financial institutions, and it believes that credit risk posed bydefault is quite limited.With respect to liquidity risk related to fund raising, the Group manages its liquidity risk by controlling the funds of the Group as awhole on a timely basis, diversifying the funding instruments, obtaining commitment lines from financial institutions and makingadjustments for the short-term and long-term fund considering market environments.NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 201241

(1) Consolidated Financial Statements[Segment information](1) Outline of the reportable segmentsReportable segments of the Company are its organizational units whose individual financial results can be identified separately, andserve as the basis and subject of regular review by the Board of Directors, for the purpose of allocating management resources andevaluating business performance.The Company’s head office comprises functional headquarters including the Domestic Business Headquarters, InternationalBusiness Headquarters, and Sales Promotion Headquarters. Each headquarters is responsible for developing comprehensivestrategies for its products and services both in Japan and abroad, and engages in business activities based on such strategies.Under each headquarters, regional general managers are appointed to cover specific geographic regions as well as businessdivisions specializing in specific products and services, providing a structure that allows regional management and/or concernedfield offices to make optimum business decisions on their own.Under this principle, the Company has developed a segment structure in the form of matrix comprising segments by geographicalregion along with segments by products and services as classified based on mode of transportation such as air or marine, in whichthe domestic Distribution & Transportation business comprises five reportable segments including Combined Business, SecurityTransportation, Heavy Haulage & Construction, Air Freight Forwarding & Travel, and Marine & Harbor Transportation, whileoverseas Distribution & Transportation operations comprises four reportable segments, including the Americas, Europe, East Asia,and South Asia & Oceania, besides the two reportable segments outside Distribution and Transportation operations that areGoods Sales and Other.The Combined Business segment (Distribution & Transportation, domestic companies) includes subsidiaries/affiliates andbranches in each geographical region (area). However, it is still presented as one reportable segment because of their similarity in thenature of business as well as financial characteristics.Also, the Combined Business segment (Distribution & Transportation, domestic companies) is presented on a combined basiswith the Fine Arts business segment because of the similarity in the nature of business. Likewise, in Air Freight Forwarding &Travel (Distribution & Transportation, domestic companies), the Air Freight Forwarding business segment is presented on a combinedbasis with the Travel business segment. In each of the above cases, however, the impact of the presentation on a combinedbasis is minimal.54 NIPPON EXPRESS Annual Report 2012
