To Our Stakeholders
The Yamaha Motor Group has used the brand slogan “Revs your Heart” Groupwide since 2013, and our corporate
activities have sought to deliver exceptional value and experiences that enrich the lives of everyone who comes into
contact with Yamaha. We will maintain the “Revs your Heart” spirit and passion from 2016, with the further
enhancement and refinement of Yamaha’s brand value as our primary objective for corporate management.
For the fiscal year ended December 2015, net sales, operating income, and ordinary income rose from the
previous year on sales and profit growth in major developed market businesses. Net income declined, but this was
mainly because of one-time factors including the payment of additional corporate income taxes. We were also mostly
able to achieve the management targets set in the Medium-Term Management Plan (MTP) covering the period from
2013 to 2015.
During the three years from 2016, as a long-term vision that goes beyond 2020, we are aiming to be a unique
company that continues to achieve dynamic milestones. We are positioning those first three years, which are covered
by the new MTP beginning in 2016, as a time to achieve a significant increase in corporate strength, and begin laying
the foundation for even greater strength going forward.
I ask for your continued guidance and support in these endeavors.

Instilling the “Revs your Heart” spirit while
