Medium-term Management Plan (FY2020-2022)

~Sustainable Growth 2030~

Mitsubishi UFJ Lease & Finance Company Limited (the "Company") today announced the formulation of our new Medium-term Management Plan (below, referred to as "Medium-term Management Plan" or the "Plan") spanning the three-year period starting from April 1, 2020. The Plan is explained below. The Medium-term Management Plan is situated to cover the initial 3 years of our medium- to long-term strategy based on our outlook for changes in the external environment over the next 10 years, up until 2030, subtitled "Sustainable Growth 2030".

1Our Corporate Goal based on our outlook in Ten Years

    • We see six issues about mega trends and global structural changes coming to the fore over the next ten years, namely: "rapid advancement of urbanization", "climate change and resource shortage", "demographic change", "shift in global economic power", "technology advancement", and "multipolarizing world".
  • In view of the changes we foresee in the medium- to long-term external environment, we are seeing many "shared issues of international society" and "operational issues at customers". To solve these, what we are aiming for "enhancement of corporate value", "sustainable growth", and "solutions of societal issues" by focusing on value creation by leveraging our financial capital and non-financial capital (intellectual capital, manufacturing capital, social capital, natural capital, human capital, etc.). Based on the above understanding, we set our corporate goal in ten years as below.
    1. To enhance corporate value by deploying business utilizing asset value creation1 and continuing the provision of new value beyond leasing business
    2. To aim for sustainable growth by developing business in new domains, continuously enhancing the quality and earning power of asset business and increasing investment capacity
    3. All company and group members act from a strong sense of vocation and contribute to solve societal issues centering on asset business

(Note 1) "Asset value creation" is the capacity to improve the business competitiveness of customers and business partners by creating and continuously providing valuable services and taking the initiative in clearing their business obstacles.

"Asset" of "asset value creation" includes intangible assets such as computerized assets (software, database), innovative assets (R&D, license) and economic competitiveness (human resources, organization).

2Management Strategy

  • This Medium-term Management Plan is positioned to cover the initial three years of our medium- to long-term strategy incorporating changes in the external environment over a 10- year time frame. We rotate the full-year PDCA cycle by periodically verifying the 10-year environmental and strategic outlook, 3-yearMedium-term Management Plan and individual fiscal-year plan, and implement the strategy with agility and flexibility.
  • As an asset-business platform company with an ability to create asset value, we focus our resources on domains involving solutions to social issues, including the field of global assets, social infrastructure, and renewable energy.
  • We work on strengthening the "resources to raise competitiveness" necessary for realizing our management strategies and establish a "supporting mechanism" to enforce strategic progress for 10 years, 3 years, and 1 year.

(1) Asset-Business Platform Company

  • Our strengths are "customer base", which ranges from large to small and medium-sized companies, "financial base", underpinned by strong credit ratings and "asset business insights" accumulated through lease business.
  • We aim to create "an asset business platform company" that can monetize asset values by increasing businesses utilizing "asset value creation" based on our business strengths.

(2) Focus areas

  • We identify global social needs arising along with mega global trends.
  • We contribute to the solution of medium- to long-term societal issues by focusing on three business domains: "global assets" where we already have a strong position by fulfilling global demand in land, sea and air logistics, "social infrastructure", where we invest in existing demand in developed countries and new demands of emerging countries, and
    "renewable energy" which is to address resource shortage issues.

3Management Plan

  • We aim to boost returns by promoting strategic investments and asset turnover businesses, while accumulating blue-chip assets and substituting out less profitable assets.
  • We seek to secure a favorable balance between capital adequacy ratio and shareholders return through dividend payment and plan to maintain dividend payout ratio at 30% level based on our track record of increased dividend payment for 20 consecutive fiscal years.
