1. Consolidated Results of Operations (1) Overview of Operating Performance 1) Business Environment In the first nine months of the fiscal year (April 1 – December 31, 2019), the global economy as a whole trended toward slower growth because of factors including an economic slump in Europe and China, despite a robust U.S. economy. Prolongation of the conflict between the U.S. and China led to worldwide heightening of concern about an economic downturn. The Federal Reserve Board’s interest rate cuts and other financial policies underpinned business activity in the U.S., and a recovery trend fueled by continuing strength in the employment environment and personal consumption continued, despite slowing of corporate capital investment and production resulting from concerns about the impact of trade friction between the U.S. and China. In the European economy, although personal consumption and government consumption remained firm, signs of economic deceleration stemming from prolongation of a manufacturing slump continued. Also, the outlook for the future remained uncertain amid fraught Brexit negotiations between the UK and EU. In the Chinese economy, the trend of economic deceleration continued in the wake of a slump in infrastructure investment and deterioration of consumer sentiment, despite attempts to prop up the economy with tax cuts, subsidies, and other economic policies amid economic rebalancing from investment-led to consumption-led growth. Also, slowing of economic growth came into sharp focus due to the continuing impact of trade friction with the U.S. The slowdown in economic growth in emerging market economies continued as a result of factors including declining exports and stagnant resource prices resulting in part from slowing of the Chinese economy. Against this backdrop, in Japan an export slump centered on automobiles and iron and steel continued due to the impact of economic deceleration in China, and manufacturing production remained weak. Although the employment and income environments improved, domestic demand cooled due in part to a series of natural disasters, and the Japanese economy showed a trend toward slower growth. Also, concerns about an economic slowdown strengthened in response to trade frictions and sluggishness in Europe, China, and other overseas economies. 2) Business Activities by Segment (I) Metals For the purpose of reducing illegal disposal and appropriately disposing of end-of-life vehicles in India, in October 2019 Toyota Tsusho Corporation, together with Toyota Tsusho India Private Limited and Maruti Suzuki India Limited, an Indian subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, established Maruti Suzuki Toyotsu India Private Limited, a vehicle dismantling and recycling joint venture.
