Consolidated Business Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2010 (U.S. GAAP)

Komatsu Ltd. today announced its business results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as follows.

For the full fiscal year under review, both sales and profits declined from the previous fiscal year. On a quarterly basis, however, they steadily improved in the construction, mining and utility equipment business, supported by market recovery in emerging economies centering on China.

We are expecting that both sales and profits for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 will increase from the fiscal year under review, as we work to step up sales by unfailingly capitalizing on market expansion of our "Strategic Markets", such as China, Asia, Oceania, Latin American and Africa, while improving our selling prices and production costs.

Komatsu Ltd. is planning to set the fiscal year-end dividend at JPY8 per share. (The Company plans to propose this amount to the 141st ordinary general meeting of shareholders scheduled for June 23, 2010.)
Annual cash dividends for the fiscal year ended march 31, 2010, including the interim dividend of JPY8 per share, amount to JPY16 per share.
Regarding the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, the Company plans to set the annual cash dividends per share at JPY28, an increase of JPY12, compared to JPY16 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.
