2. Management Policies
(1) Corporate mission and policies
Our corporate mission is to “provide enjoyment and create magic, inspired by imagination and a sense of adventure, and guided by a desire to fulfill dreams.” This mission is intended to offer today’s individuals the dreams that may be dwelling at the bottom of their hearts, refreshing impressions, and enjoyment and real peace of mind that rejuvenates people. In order to realize the above corporate mission, our group is united and committed to act in compliance with the following six management policies:
1. Management that communicates 2. Providing the public with original, high-quality value 3. Respect for the individuality of employees, and extension of support to maintain high morale 4. Continuous innovation and evolution in management 5. Profitable growth and contribution to society 6. Harmony and coexistence with society
Based on these corporate policies, the Oriental Land Group will work with stockholders to target growth and further development by fully deploying all of our resources.
(2) Policy on distribution of profit
We believe that higher corporate value and stable dividends are important ways of returning profits to our
stockholders. For the time being, we will use net cash generated from each business segment to make additional investments in Tokyo Disney Resort and invest in new businesses for further growth, and to pay down interest-bearing debt, thereby enhancing our corporate value.
For the year ended March 2004, the year-end dividend was ¥15 per share. The full-year dividend, including
an interim dividend of ¥14, was ¥29 per share, up ¥5 from the year ended March 2003. For the year ending March 2005, we plan to pay total dividends of ¥30 per share.
In order to fulfill our stockholders’ expectations, we will continue to provide returns on profit in line with
our business results.
(3) Reasons and policy for reduction of investment unit
To attract more individual investors and improve the liquidity of our stocks, we changed the investment unit of 1,000 shares to 100 shares when we went public.
We will carefully study the possibility of further reduction of the investment unit, considering the
composition and number of our stockholders and other factors.
(4) Basic policy and implementation status regarding corporate governance
A. Basic policy regarding corporate governance
Enhancing corporate governance is an important management issue for Oriental Land. In addition to working to ensure efficient management, such as speedy decision-making, we are making continuous efforts to strengthen our compliance structure, through measures including thorough maintenance of legal standards and enhancement of legality oversight through corporate and internal auditing departments. Moreover, we will raise management transparency and fairness through comprehensive information disclosure.
B. Corporate governance measures and implementation status [Status of corporate governance in the management systems regarding decision-making, execution and supervision in the company’s management.]
•
We are a company that uses the auditor system.
•
We appoint two outside directors, and three out of four auditors are appointed from outside.
•
Board of Directors meetings are held regularly once a month, and are attended by both standing and non-standing auditors. The directors conduct discussions in line with the corporate mission and policies and without breaching any laws or the Articles of Incorporation. Directors and auditors, who have different responsibilities, provide checks and balances from their respective points of view.
•
Regarding our compliance system, we have established a Compliance Committee to organize our system for legal compliance in business activities, as well as to draw up and publicize a code of ethics for the behavior of managers and employees, with the aim of maintaining and improving compliance awareness among managers and employees. In addition to committee members, we receive counsel from our corporate lawyers, who have specialized knowledge. Furthermore, we have established a contact for receiving direct inquiries from employees concerning compliance.
4
•
We have no standing outside management.
•
We have established an Auditing Department for internal oversight of strict adherence to the law and to company regulations and of efficient execution, and are working to enhance internal regulation.
•
In order to ensure the accuracy of the corporate audit, we receive a report on our financial statements from independent auditors for a third-party viewpoint.
[Summary of personal and equity relationships, transaction relationships and other concerns between the company and the companies of outside directors and outside auditors] Regarding the two outside directors and three outside auditors, one director and two former directors are from Keisei Electric Railway Co., Ltd., and two directors are from Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., both of which companies are other affiliates of Oriental Land. Regarding main transaction relationships, Keisei Electric Railway rents a dormitory for single employees, and Mitsui Fudosan is an official sponsor of Tokyo Disneyland. [Implementation of measures to strengthen the company’s corporate governance in the most recent year (the year leading up to the end of the most recent business year)] The Compliance Committee implemented compliance seminars for all employees to further enhance general understanding of the spirit of compliance and to improve our legal compliance system.
Among other measures, to increase management transparency, in addition to the annual stockholders’
meeting and the announcements of operating results, we accurately and fully disclosed information in a timely manner when major events occurred that were judged to have a significant impact on stockholders’ interests.
(5) Medium-and long-term strategies and issues
Looking at future business conditions, movement toward economic recovery can be seen against the backdrop of expansion in exports, increase in capital investment and improvements in corporate profitability. Overall conditions, however, are expected to remain uncertain, as severe trends persist in consumer spending and the employment market. In the amusement park and leisure land industry, factors including the ongoing economic slump and the diversification of the leisure market leave the operating environment with little cause for optimism. Under these conditions, the Oriental Land Group will focus on the following three medium- and long-term strategies aimed at further growth.
(a) Develop Tokyo Disney Resort into a “destination resort” (b) Expand businesses outside Tokyo Disney Resort (c) Strengthen management
We will work to make Tokyo Disney Resort a “destination resort” by enhancing its appeal as a destination
all guests will wish to visit again and again, whether on day trips to the theme parks, on visits to the movies or restaurants, or on multiple-day trips to enjoy all the resort while staying at hotels. In the theme parks, we will aim to further improve the two parks’ ability to attract guests by providing new appeal at Tokyo Disneyland through aggressive replacements and renewals of existing facilities, and by improving the appeal and capacity of Tokyo DisneySea through the introduction of new attractions and other measures. Moreover, for hotels, we are introducing new banquet programs and improving services linked with the theme parks for overnight guests at the two Disney Hotels. In addition, we will also consider a new hotel alliance system including the Palm and Fountain Terrace Hotel scheduled to open in spring 2005, in order to strengthen our ability to attract guests.
In businesses outside the Tokyo Disney Resort, we are actively opening new Disney Stores. We will
consider the possibility of new store openings mainly in metropolitan areas where the demand for new stores still exists, and aim for more efficient store expansion while also taking store closures into consideration.
Through aggressive promotion of each business centered on these measures, we aim to achieve consolidated
revenues of ¥360 billion or above and consolidated operating income of ¥45 billion or above by the year ending March 31, 2007.
In addition, in order to become a “destination resort,” we will consider the introduction of a third Disney
Hotel to join the Disney Ambassador Hotel and Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta, and of multi-use facilities within Tokyo Disney Resort.
We will consider expansion into “Power Your Heart with Happiness” business domains in line with the
Oriental Land Group’s corporate philosophy, “Inspired by imagination and a sense of adventure, and guided by a desire to fulfill dreams, provide enjoyment and create magic.” In particular, we are considering expansion into the business domains of leisure facilities, hotels, restaurants, retail businesses, intellectual property rights, media, education and theater entertainment. Through development of these businesses, we will alleviate the concentration of business in the Maihama area, and aim for further growth and expansion.
In order to implement the above strategies with greater precision, we will also conduct organizational and
5
personnel reforms. As part of the new organizational strategy, we would like to divide the current organizational structure into a Corporate Division that concentrates on the formulation of strategies for maximizing the corporate value of the entire Oriental Land Group, and a Park Division that will substantially delegate authority to enable speedy decision-making and problem solving. In personnel strategy, we will reform the employee system from the current fiscal year with the aim of maximizing personnel performance, and will take other measures including promoting further strengthening of employee training, mid-career employment of exceptional personnel and use of contract employees. Through these strategies, we will endeavor to maximize the value of the Oriental Land Group and generate high cash flow to meet the expectations of our stockholders.
